Abstract

While most standardized vehicular communication applications aim on increasing traffic safety, the exchange of messages between vehicles and the environment may be used for other purposes at no additional hardware costs as well. One possible area of such applications is traffic management. Traffic management requires data about the state of the road network before being able to predict or control traffic. The COLOMBO project, co-funded by the European Commission, examines the possibilities to use data gained via vehicular communications for traffic management purposes.
