Swiss wireless communications specialist and Australia connected vehicle technology provider 6667 Cohda Wireless have joined forces to develop an advanced vehicle to vehicle/infrastructure (V2X) solution.

Offering best in class performance, the MK5 was recently demonstrated at the 2014 6456 ITS World Congress in Detroit and is suitable for first-mount automotive electronics, aftermarket products and roadside infrastructure.

Cohda’s dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) based V2X system uses accurate satellite positioning with embedded dead reckoning technology provided by u-blox. The system enables early warning of an imminent collision, oncoming traffic, presence of road workers and unsafe speed based on vehicles in the vicinity. V2X will be a key technology for the next generation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as well as autonomous vehicles.

"We are excited to be working with Cohda, the recognized leader in C-ITS solutions. Cohda’s V2X DSRC based solutions make full use of u-blox' advanced automotive-grade positioning technology to enhance driver safety through ample warning time and excellent non-line-of-sight performance. Such technology will soon be a standard feature embedded in all vehicles." said Michael Ammann, VP Platform Partnerships at u blox.
 
"Our V2X vehicle warning systems are dependent on highly accurate position and velocity data to deliver the performance that is crucial to meet the safety demands of next generation cars," said Fabien Cure, Chief Engineer. “u-blox’ satellite positioning solutions, leading automotive dead reckoning technology, module roadmap and clear strategy to deliver lane accurate performance in challenging urban environments was convincing. u-blox’ M8 GNSS technology is the right choice for MK5 and the future Cohda development platform.”

    Cohda trials V2X tech in Norwegian tunnel
    Cohda Wireless has carried out a trial of Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology in Norway’s Bjørnegård tunnel. The idea was to demonstrate the ability of Cohda’s V2X-Locate solution to provide accurate vehicle positioning in areas where GPS systems often run into difficulty – such as in tunnels or underground car parks. The company’s chief technical officer, Professor Paul Alexander, says GPS positioning can be off by up to 40m in such environments – which would have a significant negative impact on
