Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is continuously studying the possibilities to improve the intelligent traffic and road weather monitoring and related safety services by innovative use of C-ITS and related methodologies. 5G and other advanced communication systems are elemental part of the C-ITS, giving way autonomous vehicle services and remote sensing among other things. Autonomous vehicles in particular have been seen in FMI as an especially weather -dependent traffic actor, benefiting from special tailored intelligent road weather services for autonomous driving. This has been adapted as one particular research item in FMI.An elemental factor in the development of autonomous vehicle road weather services has been a tailored ITS enabled Arctic test track. FMI operates on the test track using ITS-G5 and 5G cellular test networks with real-time road weather data services supported by road weather stations and Connected Vehicle (CV) measurements. The track is located in Sodankyla, Northern Finland, where the long arctic winter period of more than half year allows road weather services development for the severe, Arctic weather conditions.This paper overviews the new FMI concept of autonomous miniature vehicle built for testing 5G/C-ITS intelligent traffic weather services, and their practical testing and piloting practices in the Sodankyla Arctic winter testing track.
