  The simTD project is the first large-scale field trial for vehicle-to-vehicle
and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication in Europe. It consists of up to 400
vehicles and over 100 infrastructure-side communication units, so-called ITS
Roadside Stations (IRS). With the large number of remote units, a powerful
management system is needed to ensure that all necessary administrative tasks
for the IRS can be performed: from basic configuration, to installation and
management of applications, to handling and troubleshooting of the IRS
themselves. Furthermore, a graphical interface for administration will be
created, an encrypted communication channel will be implemented, and a
framework for third-party applications will be developed. Due to the importance
of management for the entire project, the management system must be highly
available.
