COMPASS 4D
Overview
Seven European cities/regions (Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Helmond, Newcastle, Thessaloniki, Verona and Vigo) have united their forces in addressing road safety issues, traffic efficiency problems and the negative environmental impacts that road transport currently brings. These cities, together with the rest of the industrial and research partners from the Compass4D consortium, strongly believe that cooperative mobility solutions can bring benefits to the key stakeholders and improve the lives of their citizens.

Objectives
-
Ensure successful deployment and after-project life of the three piloted services, aiming at proving both safety and energy efficiency benefits.
-
Globally harmonize specifications for the three piloted services, through close cooperation with the US & Japanese counterparts, other CIP pilots and relevant standardization bodies.
-
Establish and follow an agreed harmonized testing, installation, monitoring and assessment strategy, as well as a common strategy for deployment of all three specified cooperative systems across all pilot sites.
-
Prove safety and energy efficiency benefits to all relevant stakeholders by collecting critical mass of data in 12 months full-scale operations of selected cooperative systems at each pilot site.
-
Collaborate with relevant standardisation bodies, mainly but not exclusively ETSI and CEN, in order to ensure full interoperability of the deployed cooperative solutions.
-
Create a set of best practices on the basis of the pilot site operations including guidelines, business models, manuals, and training material.

Achievements
Services
​
Improved outcomes expected in below areas
-
Road safety (i.e. accident rates, severity of accidents, severity of injuries)
-
Network efficiency (i.e. traffic flows, traffic volumes, travel time, travel time reliability, average vehicle speed, reliability of public transport)
-
Environmental impact (i.e. CO2, NOx, SOx, PM10 emissions, fuel consumption)
-
Economical sustainability (i.e. maintenance cost, network monitoring, business models for implementation of cooperative systems)
-
Traffic network management (i.e. long-term driver behaviour, travel behaviour, compliance, unintended impacts depending on road type, weather conditions, etc.)
-
Driver specific metrics (i.e. user acceptance, user experience and compliance, workload and behavioural change)
​
-
The Road Hazard Warnings (RHW) helps to prevent accidents by giving drivers warning messages about hazards that lie ahead. It gives specific information about the hazard
-
The Red Light Violation Warning (RLVW) helps to stop drivers running red lights by giving them warning messages or to inform drivers of approaching emergency vehicles which risk running red light.
-
The Energy Efficient Intersection (EEI) provides drivers advice on the perfect driving style to avoid last-minute breaking when approaching an intersection. It also gives priority to specific vehicles at intersections, like emergency vehicles, or delayed buses or even trucks
