Intelligent Cooperative Intersection Safety Implementation, Test and Evaluation.

Intersection safety systems have a high potential to prevent traffic accidents due to misjudgement and rule violation; the majority of all traffic accidents at intersections. The Intelligent Cooperative Intersection Safety System (IRIS), as part of the European research project SAFESPOT, is a cooperative roadside application that aims at decreasing the number of accidents at controlled intersections. Vehicle-to-infrastructure communicationand data fusion techniques make the core of the system. Test and evaluation layout and first results gathered from tests indicate the strengths andweaknesses of the design of the system and are described in this paper.
