The CarTALK 2000 consortium brought together the extensive knowledge of the leading European manufacturers of vehicles, vehicle components and communication systems, plus renowned research institutes. The seven partners DaimlerChrysler, CRF, BOSCH, Siemens, TNO, University of Stuttgart and University of Cologne focussed its research activities on safety related communication based driver assistance systems. In more detail, this goal encompassed the following work: • Specification of today’s and future applications for cooperative driver assistance systems and selection of those which can be realized in the framework of this project. • Develop software structures and algorithms, e.g. new fusion techniques for radio-based sensor information and local sensor information • Development of a self-organising radio system for intervehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communication • Algorithms for radio ad-hoc networks with extremely high dynamic network topologies • Integrate the communication system hardware and algorithms into test vehicles • Integrate the applications into probe vehicles to test and demonstrate both, info-mobility applications (existing applications) and safety applications in the same system architecture. • Test and demonstrate assistance functions in probe vehicles in real traffic scenarios.
