Cooperative systems are the next big challenge within the intelligent transport system (ITS) atmosphere. Cooperative systems utilize both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication, enabling a diversity of new applications for safety, efficiency, and infotainment. In the European project Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure System (CVIS)a universal communication platform has been developed, supporting continuous Internet connectivity and V2V/V2I communication. The CVIS implementation is based on the Communication Access for Land Mobile (CALM) architecture. This paper presents the CVIS communication platform, and the importanceof the platform due to its openness and interoperability. The paper also outlines further development plans to fit the needs of Field Operational Test (FOT) projects.
