Participation in SCALE: As part of the ongoing efforts to equip the infrastructure with roadside equipment capable of communicating with connected vehicles, DIRA is participating in the SCALE programme to equip its operator vehicles with on-board units capable of transmitting, in real time, details of road incidents that require its intervention.
Previously, DIRA initiated the deployment of C-ITS equipment on the Bordeaux ring road and its two main access roads (A63 and A62) with some 40 roadside units, in order to enable the direct transmission of information regarding incidents that connected vehicles may encounter on their route: DIRA vehicle responding to incidents, roadwork or accident sites, the presence of a broken-down or burning vehicle, or a pedestrian or animal on the road.
The section of RN10 managed by DIRA between Poitiers and the junction with the A10 motorway in Gironde (near Saint-André-de-Cubzac) has also been fitted with 21 road-side units.
