Abstract

The simTD project is the first large-scale field trial for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication in Europe. It consists of up to 400 vehicles and over 100 infrastructure-side communication units, so-called ITS Roadside Stations (IRS). With the large number of remote units, a powerful management system is needed to ensure that all necessary administrative tasks for the IRS can be performed: from basic configuration, to installation and management of applications, to handling and troubleshooting of the IRS themselves. Furthermore, a graphical interface for administration will be created, an encrypted communication channel will be implemented, and a framework for third-party applications will be developed. Due to the importance of management for the entire project, the management system must be highly available.
