In the Netherlands, an innovative app has been developed to enhance the driving experience through the testing and acceptance of Intelligent Vehicle Roadside Interaction (iVRI) systems. This app provides drivers with continuous, location-specific in-car information, ensuring they are always up-to-date with the latest road conditions. Key features include real-time data on static and dynamic speed limits, lane configurations, overtaking restrictions, and traffic light signals. Additionally, the app offers predictions for the next signal phase, allowing drivers to anticipate changes and adjust their driving accordingly.
One of the standout functionalities 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 an NHD (Neighborhood Delivery), bus, or truck, each of which may have priority at certain intersections. This feature not only improves the efficiency of public and commercial transport but also contributes to smoother traffic flow and reduced waiting times at traffic lights.
