The Cooperative Intelligent Transport Initiative (CITI) is Australia’s first C-ITS testing facility. Based in the Illawarra region of NSW, the trial has fitted C-ITS technology to:
- Up to 60 trucks
- 11 public buses
- 2 light vehicles and 1 motorcycle
- 3 signalised intersections, broadcasting signal phase information to C-ITS equipped vehicles
- 1 portable roadside unit broadcasting speed limit information to C-ITS equipped vehicles
- 3 portable roadside units receiving and collecting data from C-ITS equipped vehicles.
Safety broadcasts
Drivers in participating vehicles see the following messages:
- Intersection collision warning
- Harsh braking ahead warning
- Red light alert when light is red or amber
- Speed limit information.
