Road telecommunications system

A road telecommunications system, comprising:

• a plurality of wireless access stations distributed along a plurality of road segments that make up a road path, the access stations comprising:
• first communication modules, configured for wireless communication with user mobile devices, on board of vehicles travelling along the road path and located within respective first coverage areas, and
• second communication modules, configured for wireless communication with vehicular communication modules, integrated in vehicles travelling along the road path and located within respective second coverage areas,
• wherein, for each road segment, the arrangement of the respective first and second communication modules is such that the respective first coverage areas, adjacent to each other, entirely cover the road segment, and the respective second coverage areas, adjacent to each other, entirely cover the road segment,
• a local control centre for each road segment, each local control centre comprising at least one local server system, in wired signal communication with the first and second communication modules of the access stations distributed along the respective road segment, so as to exchange data with the user mobile devices and vehicular communication modules via the first and second communication modules,
• wherein, the system comprises a wired segment data network for each road segment connecting the local server system of the local control centre of the respective road segment to the first and second communication modules of the access stations distributed along the respective road segment,
• a wired data backbone connecting the local server systems of all the local control centres to each other and to the central server system,
• a remote control centre, comprising at least one central server system in wired signal communication with the local server systems of all the local control centres, the central server system being configured to monitor an operating state of the local server systems,
• wherein each segment data network forms one or more connection loops, such that each access station is connected to the local server system of the local control centre of the respective road segment via at least two independent data connection lines, and
• the data backbone forms one or more connection loops, so that each local server system is connected to the central server system via at least two independent data connection lines.
