In the Netherlands, the innovative app for testing and acceptance of Intelligent Vehicle-Roadside Interaction Systems (iVRIs) offers drivers a seamless experience through continuous location-specific in-car information. This app provides real-time updates on static and dynamic speed limits, lane configurations, overtaking restrictions, and traffic light signals. Additionally, it offers predictions on the next signal phase, ensuring drivers are always well-informed and can adjust their driving accordingly.
One of the standout features of this app is its ability to request priority at suitable iVRIs. Users can configure the app to take on the role of various vehicle types, such as a National Highway Department (NHD) vehicle, bus, or truck, each of which may have priority at certain traffic signals. This functionality enhances the efficiency of public transportation and emergency services, making the app a valuable tool for both everyday commuters and specialized vehicle operators.
