Therefore, in a first step to full deployment, Dutch, German, and Austrian authorities agreed to establish an intelligent corridor ranging from Rotterdam in the Netherlands via Frankfurt/Main in Germany to Vienna in Austria where construction areas are announced wirelessly to Ilja Radusch, the equipped vehicles.
