Application Description

In the Netherlands, an innovative app has been developed to enhance the testing and acceptance of Intelligent Vehicle Roadside Interaction systems (iVRIs). This app provides continuous, location-specific in-car information to drivers, ensuring they are well-informed about various road conditions and traffic management systems. Key features include real-time updates on static and dynamic speed limits, lane configurations, overtaking restrictions, and traffic light signals. Moreover, the app offers predictions to the next signal phase, allowing drivers to anticipate changes in traffic flow and adjust their driving accordingly.

One of the standout functionalities of this app is its ability to request priority at suitable iVRIs. Depending on the user's needs, the app can assume the role of different types of vehicles, such as an NHD (Nederlandse Hulpdiensten, or Dutch emergency services), a bus, or a truck, each of which may require priority access at traffic signals. This feature significantly improves the efficiency of emergency response times and public transportation schedules, contributing to safer and more streamlined traffic management across the Netherlands.
