Safe cooperative CPS: A V2I traffic management scenario in the SafeCOP project

SafeCOP (Safe Cooperating Cyber-Physical Systems using Wireless Communication) is an European project that targets cyber-physical systems-of-systems whose safe cooperation relies on wireless communication. In particular, SafeCOP will provide an approach to the safety assurance of such systems in the healthcare, maritime, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure sectors. The vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) cooperation for the traffic management scenario is a key use cases of SafeCOP, where the cooperation between different cyber-physical systems can also include a significant interaction with remote servers. In this paper, we outline the V2I traffic management scenario and assess the research goals that arise from it, with special focus on the IoT characteristics.
