Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems
C-ITS covers the standardized communication of vehicles with each other and with the infrastructure, regardless of their manufacturer. This makes traffic safer and smoother.
C-ITS is widely considered a necessary step towards autonomous mobility. It is a decentralized, completely modular ecosystem that already brings many benefits today.
How it may help your city
Makes public transport effective
by deploying public transport preference on signalled intersections
Saves lives
by providing emergency and law enforcement vehicles a priority pass-thru on signalled intersections
Our reference: Mladá Boleslav
Informs about your surroundings
by providing information about the type, current location, speed and a heading of surrounding traffic, pedestrians and other non C-ITS enabled objects
Informs drivers
by automatically publishing information about planned or unplanned roadworks, stationary vehicle locations or even unexpected weather events
Our reference: C-ITS Backoffice for Road and Motorway Directorate
Exchanges traffic data
by subscribing and publishing of selected traffic and infrastructural data to public transport companies, city organizations, other cities, central government or your citizens

C-ITS Backoffice
C-ITS Backoffice is the heart of any C-ITS system. In C-ITS architecture it serves as the Central C-ITS station.
Backoffice manages all connected C-ITS units of all types and effectively transmits C-ITS messages between them even if they can’t reach each other using direct short range radio communication. That creates a hybrid concept which keeps C-ITS systems up and running thanks to independent communication channels. The data flows automatically.
However, an operator of the traffic control centre can manually enter events such as roadworks, lane closures or weather warnings.
Data collected by the C-ITS Backoffice is used across other modules like Traffic.
Traffic module provides analytic inputs such as journey times which can be provided to road users in the form of IVI (In-Vehicle Information) messages.
Used by municipalities, road authorities and public transportation companies.
Compliant
ETSI standards & C-Roads specifications compliant
Versatile
Wide range of C-ITS use cases & messages
User friendly
User friendly web-based interface
Durable
Fully hybrid system – compatible with ITS-G5, LTE, 5G, LAN, WAN
Talkative
Exchange own and 3rd party C-ITS messages with other C-ITS clusters
Compatible
Easy integration of roadside (RSU) and on-board (OBU) units of various vendors
Open
Integration with 3rd party systems – traffic controllers, fleet management
Secure
Automated key management for guaranteed security and trust
Integration C-ITS Platform
Integration platform synchronizes events between different C-ITS systems.
This allows an individual ecosystem (C-ITS cluster) to work with information provided by different ecosystem, legacy systems and traffic centres.
Integration platform saves money by reducing the need for costly, case-by-case custom integrations.

C-ITS Security C-ITS with PKI
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a central part to manage cryptographic keys and authorization tokens. It is an essential part of C-ITS security.
All transmitted messages are protected by keys signed by PKI and so enrolled system parts can trust each other even without network connection.
PKI is customized for the specific requirements of C-ITS systems as specified by ETSI standards.
C-ITS Verification Suite
C-ITS Verification Suite enables users to independently verify behaviour of any C-ITS system for compliance and compatibility.
Suite is useful for development purposes as well as for functional verification before or during the actual deployments.
Verification Suite is available as a set of testing hardware and a cloud service. It can be configured to broadcast messages to be processed by the tested equipment.
Suite allows to manage testing scenarios and run them as many times as required. During the testing it continuously receives and evaluates messages sent by the equipment under test. Full testing history is also available.
This helps test management to keep track of tests, their results and progress in different stages of testing or C-ITS deployments.
Up-to-date
Suite runs in cloud and so it is always up-to-date with C-ITS standards
Compatible
Suite is connected to same PKI as the rest of your C-ITS deployment
Independent
Suite independently verifies 3rd party components for C-ITS compliance
European
Suite works anywhere and can be used by any European organization
Vehicle and infrastructural unit
Smartgear C-ITS unit may act as an on-board (OBU), road vehicle (RVU) or infrastructure (RSU) unit and so it covers whole range of traffic scenarios.
The unit is fully certified for use in road and railroad vehicles such as trams or trains and offers wide range of interfaces for integration to various on-board systems.
Our hybrid communication feature means that the unit uses ITS-G5 radio
for short range communication, as well as LTE or 5G to connect directly to its C-ITS Backoffice or units which do not support ITS-G5. Thus it is more durable, compatible and fully ready for the wireless future.

Unit is typically used to enable C-ITS features to non-C-ITS enabled public transport and emergency vehicles (OBU mode), as well as infrastructure unit (RSU mode) to cover areas with C-ITS features.
HMI Mobile Application
HMI application for mobile phones and tablets displays received C-ITS messages relevant for the driver and so it serves as the user interface.
It is typically used as a demonstration tool, but the core of the app can be embedded into any existing applications used in your city or country to bring C-ITS features to your citizens and visitors.
