5G and IEEE 802.11 based communication technologies have been used for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the road but also in the railway domain. The car-to-car and train-to-ground communications may rely on cooperative ITS communicating in the same frequency band in the future. Without appropriate measures, interference between the different radio technologies must be assumed and reliable communication for safety-critical applications cannot be guaranteed.

Based on measurement data, collected at a measurement campaign together with the DB advanced TrainLab, the interference and propagation measurements should be analysed. In a first phase, your goal is to classify the measurement data for different scenarios and link them with environmental information. In the second phase, you describe the data with suitable mathematical models. In the final phase, your goal is to use the models in upscaled simulations and derive statistics for possible interference between urban road and rail ITS.
