This paper describes the vision of the Traffimatics project — the vision of the connected car. Traffimatics aims to develop the concept of intelligent co-operative vehicle highway systems, supporting a wide range of applications ranging from real-time traffic information and safety warnings to in-car entertainment and personal telematics. The project also investigates the possibilities of using vehicles to create a large-scale self-organising sensor and communications network enabling the intelligent co-operative vehicle highway systems vision. This paper looks into the state-of-the-art technologies that could enable the Traffimatics vision and also discusses market barriers and opportunities.
