Department of Côtes d’Armor

Presentation

The Department of Côtes D'Armor, located between land and sea, manages a road network of around 4600 km, marked in the north by the N12, along which a strong economic fabric has developed.

The strong appeal of the region to tourists generates very marked fluctuations in traffic between the summer and the rest of the year, particularly along the coast. Consequently, appropriate infrastructure and facilities need to be provided.

As a vehicle for economic development and networking, roads have also been seen as a potential source of innovation. The "Road of the Future" is an example that has led to developments in road equipment (e.g. a warning system for wrong-way traffic on 2x2 lanes).

It is in this context and mindset that the Department joined the SCOOP project, and is continuing its involvement in C-Roads and InDiD through collaboration agreements. It is vital for road operators to be able to anticipate the vehicles of the future and, more broadly, the mobility of the future.

Projects / Use Cases

CD22 has installed around 10 roadside units on its network, and has deployed embedded systems in three of its patrol and emergency vehicles.

Eventually, in collaboration with DIRO and Saint Brieuc Armor Urban Area, CD22 will be able to use these new technologies to enhance the road information it distributes to users: traffic conditions, road hazards, road works.

In particular, the CD22 is developing the following use cases (in Vo2V): Animal and pedestrian on the road alert (D2), Obstacle on the road alert (D3), Accident alert (D5), Unmanaged obstruction alert (D8), information on the position of an approaching / patrolling / intervening road operator vehicle (B2).
