The ESA CoDRIVE Demonstration Project aims to build an intelligent mobility service platform for connected vehicles with any level of autonomy to start the initiatives of transitioning towards the future Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). By the end of the project a cost-effective but high performance ubiquitous localisation and vehicle to everything (V2X) solution for CAV control systems will be fully evaluated and its initial services will be explored in urban and semi-rural areas initially in the UK and China where a rapidly evolving CAV market exists.

The project integrates applications of existing GNSS-centred cost-effective location and hybrid wireless communication technologies that are empowered by novel data fusion platform and big data analytics to address issues related to automated vehicle navigation and tracking and smart traffic management, to monitor traffic flow and navigate a fleet of CAV.
