Preparing Simulative Evaluation of the GLOSA Application

Abstract

The deployment of vehicular communications (V2X) opens the field for a large variety of new applications which aim at improving traffic safety and traffic efficiency. One of the most prominent ones is GLOSA – Green Light Optimized Speed Advisory. This V2X-based driver assistance system suggests a speed which allows to pass the next traffic light at green. Within this paper, we will present simulative evaluations of GLOSA. Measuring GLOSA’s effects on traffic efficiency, these evaluations focus on predicting results of real-world test drives. This work was performed as an initial validation step of one of the V2X simulator environments used in the DRIVE C2X project, co-funded by the EC.
