The second part of the presentation will focus on the dilemma of a) operating traffic lights that serve public transport, vehicles and pedestrians in very flexible and unpredictable ways and b) providing signal predictions with a maximum accuracy as required by automotive companies. Finally, some notes are given on the possible benefit from merging c2x and Smart City activities as it is intended and fostered by the European Innovation Partnership - Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC) and their Memorandum of Understanding "Towards Open Urban Platforms for Smart Cities and Communities".
