With more than 150 people killed<\/a> in road maintenance crashes in a year, it is clear that more needs to be done to improve work zone safety. To mark the National Work Zone Awareness Week<\/a>, we’d like to raise awareness of how vehicle-to-everything (V2X) can help when people are on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, roadworks are signposted well in advance to give drivers time to slow down. When you get right up to the work area on a minor road, flaggers will stand in your way and show you if you can pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly what happened last week when we were traveling on a mountain road near Boulder Creek, CA. The flagger even waved us to slow down and we couldn’t understand why. Then, about 30 yards later, it became obvious: a man was kneeling down on the road, working right next to our lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A similar situation on the motorways is not nearly as safe. You can travel at much higher speeds, and there is no special signalling for the presence of workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where V2X can help the most<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is essential to involve vulnerable road users in the V2X <\/a>ecosystem to significantly reduce road fatalities. We have the technology to equip road workers with V2X beacons so that drivers know exactly that there is a man on the road. Cars with on-board V2X can receive the messages and display a warning long before the flagger is in sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accurate information is the key to confident and safe driving, and only V2X can deliver it to vehicles in a timely manner, even when the hazard is out of the driver’s line of sight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
