Brainport, NL – Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek (TNO)

The Brainport permanent pilot site consists of three pilot areas:

1) The driverless car rebalancing service will be used on the Eindhoven University campus, a 2 km road network, without signalisation (cross walks, traffic lights, with 30 km/h speed limit).

2) The Automated Valet Parking use case will be used on the Automotive campus parking (200 places) and access roads (about 1 km – speed limit 15 km/h).

3) The Highway pilot and the platooning use cases will be used on a 6 km portion of the A270 motorway (2 x 2 lanes) including its emergency lane, fully covered with ITS-G5 communication and monitoring cameras.
