Commsignia today announced the OBU Lite vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device for electric bicycles and micromobility to improve the visibility and safety of vulnerable road users in traffic. With the OBU Lite, Commsignia is now offering solutions for the complete V2X-based digital transport ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road deaths among cyclists are rising at an alarming rate, with fatalities increased by 11 percent in 2022 according to NHTSA statistics. V2X-enabled cars, bicycles and other road users are aware of each other without being in each other’s line of sight, and this mutual awareness means people can make better decisions and avoid injuries from risky or unexpected situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The erroneous judgment of drivers represent 40<\/em> <\/em>percent, while errors in perception and detection alone accounted for 23 percent of road crashes – according to an IIHS study.<\/em>1<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OBU Lite comes in a lightweight form factor optimized for bicycles, primarily aimed at manufacturing partners. The OBU Lite can be integrated or connected to bicycle and micromobility platforms. It broadcasts messages about the cyclist’s position and direction to other road users, as well as receives messages from other vehicles, so that the rider can be alerted to potential hazards by visual, audio or haptic notification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
