Telstra Connected Transport Solutions – Connecting Vehicles to Everything
Friday, 10 November 2017
Telstra and Cohda Wireless have successfully tested Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) technology over the 4G mobile network in Adelaide, showcasing an Australian-first by sending standardised intelligent transport systems messages over the 4G network to enable interaction of vehicles with smartphone-equipped bicycles and pedestrians.
The trial demonstrated vehicles interacting directly with pedestrians’ and cyclists’ mobile phones to improve safety on the road network. The technology was tested using common scenarios, such as a car and a cyclist approaching a blind corner, a car reversing out of a driveway, and a car approaching a pedestrian. The tests have shown that safety between vehicles and vulnerable road users can be improved simply by broadcasting safety signals from smartphone technology leveraging the current 4G cellular network.
Telstra and Cohda will also be demonstrating cellular – Vehicle –to- Infrastructure (V2I) technology in the near future, a pivotal first step in developing Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology. Applications for the technology will be utilising integration into the SCATS traffic control network. (Traffic Lights) demonstrating green light priority to high priority vehicles, testing optimal green light timing where the vehicle is informed of the optimal speed to approach a traffic light so that that they get a green light when they arrive, therefore allowing a more continuous flow of traffic.
The use and development of V2X communications will enable the creation of intelligent transport systems that may allow more efficient use of road infrastructure, better traffic management (reduced congestion) and, in the future, coordinated and safe autonomous vehicle operation.
