Everybody wants predictable and safe travel options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building a safer physical road infrastructure requires a huge investment, and agencies often apply for public funds to implement their plans. Thanks to funds such as the SMART Grant, these efforts can be combined with digital solutions to achieve more impactful and longer lasting improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to upgrade an intersection is to install a modern Traffic Light Controller, connect it to the network, and add state-of-the-art Vehicle-To-Everything (V2X)<\/a> technology. With the V2X in place, cities and other infrastructure owners and operators (IOOs) can upgrade their vehicles fleets with connectivity and use a range of safety and efficiency features to prevent traffic conflicts and protect vulnerable road users. Even at intersections, where the most complex interactions occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commsignia is working with carmakers, bicycle manufacturers and mobile network operators to build up the operating system of connected traffic. This means, for example, installing V2X on cars and bicycles<\/a> and providing data management tools to IOOs, putting an emphasis on interoperability with existing TMC tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the roll-out of V2X on vehicles is gradual. We cannot expect all cars, pedestrians and cyclists to be equipped with V2X devices that actively communicate with the cloud or the TMCs – at least not all at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s very important to focus on non-connected vulnerable road users, digitizing them with the help of sensors<\/em>. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Commsignia works with many sensor provider companies such as Bosch, Teledyne, Smartmicro or Velodyne to integrate their cameras, lidars, radars and other devices with our V2X roadside units. V2X is a future-proof road safety investment that provides instant access to advanced traffic services.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
