InterCor (Interoperable Corridors) is a European project which aims to connect the C-ITS corridor initiatives of the Netherlands C-ITS Corridor (Netherlands-Germany-Austria), the French corridor defined in the SCOOP@F project, and the United Kingdom and Belgian C-ITS initiatives.

The InterCor project plans to achieve a sustainable network of C-ITS corridors providing continuity and serving as a TestBed for Day-One C-ITS service development and beyond.

InterCor is a 3 year project of 30 million Euros co-financed by the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility. The project aims to enable vehicles and related road infrastructure to communicate data through cellular, ITS G5 or a combination of both networks on road corridors running through the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and France. The overall goal is to achieve safer, more efficient and more convenient mobility of people and goods.

The Hybrid TESTFEST took place from 8-11 October 2018 at Buckmore Park in Chatham, Kent (UK). The goal of this TESTFEST was to test the delivery of Day-1 services operating in a “hybrid” combination of ITS-G5 and cellular communication systems. The TESTFEST also investigated the cross-border interoperability of these services through a separate deployment of two distinct C-ITS systems into “Country A” and “Country B” systems. The end of the UK TESTFEST marked the next stage of the project as it moves into pilot and data is gathered for evaluation. The next and final TESTFEST will take place during three weeks in March 2019 to test the interoperability of user devices from all four Member states at each other’s pilot locations.
