Road to Vehicle Communication

There is a potential to decrease congestions and collisions by connecting vehicles to the infrastructure. This also enables a wide range of other safety, mobility, and environmental benefits.

Key Benefits

Enhanced Surroundings Awareness

Drivers are kept informed of their surroundings in real-time through road infrastructure (e.g. traffic lights), enabling contextual and location-based feeds.

Improved Traffic Flow

Upcoming traffic lights continuously feed vehicles recommended speeds to minimize stoppages. Similarly, emergency vehicle paths are always cleared.

Improved Traffic Management

Distributed road infrastructure can act as sensors feeding data to a national traffic management platform generating insights and intelligence.
