It&#8217;s basically a healthy activity, but pedestrian safety is a pressing issue. You have to be very careful if you want to get around in traffic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A pedestrian is killed in 17% of road collisions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Department of Transportation is dedicating the entire month of October to pedestrian safety to raise awareness of the related issues. Their goals couldn&#8217;t be closer to Commsignia. We want to ensure that all road users communicate with each other and that vulnerable road users are always safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has divided the month into four themes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/press-releases\/national-pedestrian-safety-month\">on its website last year<\/a>, and we think we have answers to all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everyone deserves the highest quality of safety&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology cannot discriminate between modes of transport: everyone needs the same quality of safety. Commsignia&#8217;s broad V2X portfolio treats all road users equally. It&#8217;s also able to include unconnected pedestrians in the vehicle communication network, making vulnerable road users more visible to drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drive at a safe speed even if the rules have changed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some trips take you through special events or areas that require more attention. Speed limits near schools and roadworks are often different from the usual. Rules can change from one hour to the next. For example, school children may be allowed to go home earlier. V2X will always inform you about the current speed limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works even if you&#8217;ve left the traditional roadside sign behind and can&#8217;t remember what it said.&nbsp; Digital solutions like V2X allow dynamic speed control, so restrictions can be lifted or eased when no one is working in a work zone.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting vehicles with each other for better road safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Connected vehicles send standardized V2X messages with important parameters to upgrade well-known applications such as lane change assist, collision warning and cruise control by understanding traffic situations from the perspective of other vehicles. There\u2019s no need to have a line of sight between the vehicles to share messages. V2X works in harsh weather conditions such as fog and heavy snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to cars, Commsignia V2X also covers micromobility, so that pedestrians and two-wheeled vehicles can safely co-exist on the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safer roads are built on better insights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic data provide a rock-solid foundation for well-designed roadways. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commsignia.com\/products\/commsignia-central\/\">Commsignia Central Data and Device Manager<\/a> platform can use connected vehicles and smart sensors to collect information on potential conflict zones. So road managers know exactly where to improve the built environment &#8211; before serious collisions happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone walks a bit during the day.
