GLOSA (Green Light Optmial Speed Advisory)

 

GLOSA is an innovative service, indicating to the driver the optimal speed to adopt to catch the green traffic light, and so not to stop. The functioning is simple: GLOSA service allows to warn the driver of the presence of a crossroads with traffic lights when he is at around 500 meters from it. It supplied in advance the number of traffic lanes, the available directions for each, as well as the state of the traffic light for every lane. If the traffic light is red and that it will pass to the green, GLOSA can advise the driver to slow down to adopt a certain speed to arrive at the crossroads when the light will pass to the green.

How does it work?

– Data recovering from the city concerned Open Data.

Park’s position and situation, number of available parking spots

– Deployed in precise routes where the use case is relevant.

– Create IVI (In-Vehicle Information) messages that are broadcasted by Central ITS station and RSU.

In-Vehicle Signage: 30 Zone

 

The app shows the driver the maximum speed at which he is allowed to drive on the road section he currently is.

How does it work?
