Project News: CVIS Workshop and Product Launch Event 2008

Date: 19 September 2008

The CVIS project Consortium is happy to invite you to their Cooperative Systems Workshop and Product Launch Event, to be held on 10-11 December 2008 in Berlin, Germany. The two-day Workshop will take place at the conference facilities of the Science and Technology Park Adlershof (www.adlershof.de) and will use the DLR test site for demonstrations of the CVIS universal reference platform.
 
CVIS has achieved an important milestone - the development and beta testing of its universal reference execution platform for cooperative systems. This multi-purpose open platform provides multiple communication interfaces, precise positioning and software support for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) cooperative systems, and can be installed in both vehicles and roadside units. At the workshop, static and mobile demonstrations will feature the first implementations of CVIS example applications.
 
The Workshop will include:
• Presentation of core communication & network technologies for cooperative systems
• Presentation of the CVIS reference execution platform in vehicle and in roadside installations
• Presentations from other relevant initiatives and projects
• Demonstration of  vehicle-infrastructure communication based on the ISO CALM standard for management of short- and medium-range communication
• Demonstration of advanced positioning

Participants can gain hands-on experience during a number of laboratory and outdoor demonstrations. The event will present some of the most important results from CVIS, national and other European FP6/7 project results in the area of cooperative systems.
 
On the occasion of this Product Launch event, the CVIS team is pleased to offer their reference platform for use by other projects and cooperative system trials. As well as being well suited for those who need a flexible architecture designed for easy application development, the platform delivers always-on connectivity and meter-level positioning.
 
Please mark this very special event in your agenda! Further details on the registration process and the agenda will follow shortly.
 
We look forward to welcoming you on 10-11 December 2008 in Berlin.
