C-Roads Austria (Klagenfurt)
Description
In Klagenfurt, traffic lights along the main access roads to the city centre will be equipped with C-ITS roadside units. In addition, the alternative route of the motorway A2, Klagenfurt’s south ring (light blue line), is to be equipped with roadside units too. In total, 18 traffic lights are planned to be upgraded within the project C-Roads Austria 3. This includes the replacement of the traffic light’s control unit and the modernization of the electrics, if necessary, the installation of traffic detectors to optimize traffic management and the introduction of a central management system on Klagenfurt’s traffic computer to control and monitor the C-ITS stations.
Two use cases are being implemented:
Traffic light prioritisation
- priortisation for public busses and blue light organisations
Test of autonomous driving in combination with C-ITS
- Equip autonomous shuttles with C-ITS on-board units to enable autonomous driving along a corridor with 5 traffic lights
- Installation of 4 digital displays to additionally visualize the alerts coming from the autonomous shuttles via C-ITS
The following implementations have already been realised in Klagenfurt by ASFINAG so far:
- Installation of 3 roadside units at traffic lights, transmitting SPAT/MAP information
- detection of VRU at one traffic light’s crossing and transmitting DENM information
Schedule
The following actions are planned for 2023:
- Upgrade of another 5 traffic lights with roadside units
- Equip the entire urban transport bus fleet with C-ITS on-board units to enable prioritization at traffic lights (83 on-board units in a first step)
