Enhanced Floating Car Data (EFCD)

For high-quality traffic and safety information services, floating car data are essential to generate content. The project is developing an open system for FCD, making it possible that vehicles equipped with advanced sensors yield information that is processed and transferred to a service centre. The service centre will have the capability to manage the type and quantity of data and timing of data uploads from vehicles.

Efficient communication via different channels and security mechanisms developed under GST will be used. The resulting system will make it possible that different players implement different service concepts. The work will contribute to European standardisation activities.
