sim^TD is pursuing the following principle objectives:

• Increased road safety and improved efficiency of the existing traffic system through the use of car-to-x communication

• Definition and validation of an roll-out scenario for the identified functions and applications for scientific questions through practice-oriented experiments and field operational tests

• Consolidation of car-to-x functions from the categories of traffic efficiency, driving and safety as well as value-added services

• Definition, analysis, specification and documentation of those functions that are to be developed and tested, as well as of the resulting requirements for the overall system for selected functions and tests within sub-project 1

• Development of test and validation metrics and methods in each phase of the overall system development in order to allow measurement and evaluation of the results 

• Consolidation and harmonisation of requirements from the standpoint of feasibility and performance as well as their compatibility of requirements within the sub-projects

• Verification of functions and requirements within the context of individual milestones
  
  

During a systematic and methodically sound process, the consortium partners selected the following functions in the categories traffic, driving and safety as well as value-added services. As a first major result, the following functions were selected for implementation:
