TLDR
A possible integration framework which essentially acts to decouple RTI applications from communications networks is described, which leads to the notion of a virtual RTI network and is currently under investigation to determine its viability and applicability.
Abstract
The field of Road Transport Informatics (RTI) has spurred a substantial interest in the development and adaptation of a diverse range of technologies for vehicle-infrastructure communications. Candidate technologies for early implementation include FM RDS-TMC, short-range beacons and cellular mobile radio GSM. This paper reviews some of the major characteristics of these systems and debates some of the issues influencing the design and integration of communications technologies for RTI. Next, a possible integration framework which essentially acts to decouple RTI applications from communications networks is described. The aim is to facilitate end-to-end communications between any two application systems which need to communicate, regardless of the network to which each is attached. This concept leads to the notion of a virtual RTI network and is currently under investigation to determine its viability and applicability.

SOCRATES: System of cellular radio for traffic efficiency and safety

I. Catling, +1 more
TL;DR: SOCRATES as discussed by the authors is the largest project in the European Communities' research programme DRIVE, which aims to investigate the use and feasibility of a Road Transport Informatics (RTI) system based on cellular radio, and to make recommendations which could lead to the use of a pan-European cellular radio system such as GSM as the basis of the DRIVE "Integrated Road Transport Environment" (IRTE).
