In the Netherlands, an innovative app has been developed for testing and accepting Intelligent Vehicle-Roadside Interaction Systems (iVRIs). This app is designed to enhance road safety and traffic flow by providing drivers with continuous, location-specific in-car information. Key features include real-time updates on static and dynamic speed limits, lane configurations, overtaking restrictions, and traffic light signals. Additionally, the app offers predictions about the next signal phase, helping drivers to anticipate and adjust their driving accordingly.
One of the standout functionalities of this app is its ability to request priority at suitable iVRIs. Users can configure the app to take on the role of various types of vehicles, such as an NHD (Non-Hazardous Driver), bus, or truck, each of which may have different priority needs. This feature ensures that the app can effectively communicate with traffic management systems to facilitate smoother and more efficient journeys for priority vehicles.
