Hungary is leading in self-driving activity

Hungary is leading in self-driving activity

Egyéb-EN
Hungary has been adapted to the prestigious 21st place on the KPMG Autonomous Vehicles Readiness Index, placing our country is between China and Russia. The summary highlights that Hungary, like Singapore, has designated an organization to coordinate self-driving cars. This helps each stakeholder to find out what their role is (eg. road administration processes). The ZalaZone autonomous test track, the BMW development centre in Debrecen, the AImotive in Budapest and the R&D activity of many other global companies, suppliers, universities and technological companies has played a huge role in achieving this prestigious place. However, KPMG's national profile for Hungary does not mention that Hungary was one of the first to allow road tests of self-driving cars and the fact that since 2015, a unique 136 km long expressway (M1 motorway)…

Hungarian Public Roads has applied for the call of the ITS Hungary Excellence Award by developing the TN-ITS service, and has won this May. In TN-ITS we have tried to share static road information data in a harmonic way. TN-ITS GO is a set of methodologies, processes/solutions that support the implementation of spatial data exchange through the develoment of ITS applications. Hungarian Public Roads joined the initiation in 2018. Previously, the service was developed in 4 countries, which together with us expanded to 6 more countries. We are the first of the new member states to have the standardized data exchange protocol available. By increasing the number of participating member countries and partners, the TN-ITS service can make a significant contribution to improving cross-country interoperability by developing a harmonized service.…

What is this beast anyway?

The CROCODILE acronym comes from “Cooperation of Road Operators for COnsistent and Dynamic Information Level”m, and it is a solution for exchanging information in a uniform and dynamic way. The first phase of international cooperation took place between 2013 and 2015, and in 2016, we received support for the implementation of the second phase. The work of this was the maximum intensity this year. I am trying to present the practical side of CROCODILE and explain the meaning of these very fancy words (harmonized service design; interoperability between countries and provision of a unified service; standard, for example, data exchange based on DATEX II; automated, on-line sensors and other field data acquisition tools, etc.) with the help of Csaba Juhász (the head of the Szigetszentmiklós motorway engineering team). How does…

Hungarian Public Roads pays special attention to make road traffic more harmonic in the capital region. We have been working with Budapest Public Road for a long time on the different phases of the CROCODILE project, which aims to develop the Trans-European Transport Network: • Traffic Management Plans, • Display of Arrival Time, • Automatic Data Exchange Processes, • National Access Point. Motorway M0’s section between motorways M1 and M5 is a part of the C4 Orient/East-med and C9 Rhine-Danube Trans-European Transport Network corridors. The section between motorways M7 and M3 is a part of C3 Mediterranean TEN-T corridor. The main function of motorway M0 is to enable bypassing the capital and to connect the radial highways. These made necessary the creation of a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan, especially because…
