  General Information

UDC aims to integrate urban traffic management policies with the individual driver's interest by combining remote driving speed recommendations sent to the vehicle with the autonomous control of the car. The speed recommendations are sent via roadside beacons to the vehicles equipped with Autonomous Cruise Control (speed and distance control). Specially equipped vehicles will be tested in Torino. The following positive effects are expected: improved and harmonised traffic flow, reduced journey time, increase in safety and driver comfort and reduction of noise and pollution.
