AT&T, Delphi, and Ford debut V2X advanced vehicle communications

AT&T, Delphi and Ford are developing a new capability to enhance vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communications. The platform is designed to help vehicles communicate with each other and smart cities infrastructure to improve safety and vehicle security, reduce traffic congestion, save money and protect the environment. The research developed jointly by the three companies is designed to monitor traffic conditions and notify drivers over the AT&T LTE network of approaching vehicles and events, such as airbag

1970 AT&T, 7207 Delphi and 278 Ford are developing a new capability to enhance vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communications. The platform is designed to help vehicles communicate with each other and smart cities infrastructure to improve safety and vehicle security, reduce traffic congestion, save money and protect the environment.
 
The research developed jointly by the three companies is designed to monitor traffic conditions and notify drivers over the AT&T LTE network of approaching vehicles and events, such as airbag deployments, vehicle collisions, hazardous road conditions, bad weather and wrong-way driving.

The platform was developed in a joint research program by the three companies. Delphi developed the on-board V2X module.  AT&T developed the software for the analytics platform and will provide the wireless connectivity. Ford developed the in-car integration.

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
