US-based ITS companies 8097 Gridsmart Technologies and Denso International America are to showcase Gridsmart’s single camera intersection management system and Denso’s connected vehicle and infrastructure (C2X) technology, using 5.9 GHz dedicated short range communications (DSRC), working together to prevent vehicle/pedestrian crashed at an intersection.

The demonstration, which takes place on 27 October at Gridsmart’s headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, begins with a technology presentation at 1000, followed by live demonstrations from 1100 to 1300.
 
The demonstrations will simulate at-speed near misses and accident avoidance and will highlight the potential to move traffic more efficiently through intersections, reduce gridlock and traffic crashes while protecting pedestrians and bicyclists. Three crash prevention scenarios will be presented including wrong direction car detection, blind-corner vehicle and pedestrian detection and high-speed bumper-to-bumper accident detection.
 
The demonstration will be part of Gridsmart’s Intersect16, an annual high-tech transportation program where transportation and technology leaders from around the world gather in Knoxville to discuss and debate the future of intelligent transportation for smart cities.
