Participation in InDiD: as part of the InDiD project, DIRMed has acquired 17 Road-Side Units and 9 OBUos in order to trial C-ITS use cases relating to road safety (roadworks, accidents, stationary or broken-down vehicles, people or animals on the road, obstacles, vehicles travelling in the wrong direction and reduced visibility).
Participation in SCALE: the SCALE project will enable DIRMed to equip more OBUo vehicles, with a view to deploying them nationwide, and to test additional use cases relating to the safety of field staff when approaching a dangerous vehicle.
