Summary

Future Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) require an integrated functional framework that provides cloud-based services to automated vehicles and other traffic participants. The goal is to process, store and share relevant information in order to continually assure and improve the efficiency, safety and comfort of the C-ITS. This paper introduces a first conceptual hypothesis for such a framework that is developed in the project UNICARagil, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). Three main components of this framework, the Collective Environment Model, the Collective Memory and the Collective Behavior, are presented. Open challenges associated with current and future technology are discussed.
