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.”

    The connected future throws up a number of enticing possibilities for us all. But, says Houman Zarrinkoub of MathWorks, issues around visualisation, prototyping and model evolution need to be examined carefully. We are all aware of the huge amount of investment going into driverless car technologies. With the likes of Volvo, Tesla and BMW getting in on the act, soon they will be a common sight on our roads. However, for this to occur, the vehicles must be able to connect with each other and ensure driver

    With Galileo’s early services scheduled to start next year, Fiammetta Diani is enthusiastic about the opportunities the EU’s GNSS system will offer. Next year will be a very exciting one for Galileo, the EU’s fledgling satellite constellation; additional satellites are scheduled for launch and, as European Commission Vice President Tajani recently announced, early operational services will be starting towards the end of 2014. So it really is ‘all systems go’ as Fiammetta Diani, market development officer in
