2125 Audi has joined forces with telecoms company 6787 Huawei to continue developing intelligent connected vehicles in China. The partnership’s stated aim is to improve and optimise traffic flows to help create intelligent cities.


Additionally, the collaboration is intended to advance automated driving and digitalisation of services.

It follows a trial of the LTE-V mobile communication standard for connected cars in the city of Wuxi, eastern China, in 2017. Drivers received real-time traffic information via connections to traffic light systems and video monitoring at intersections.

Audi says the project will enter its next phase at the World Internet of Things Exposition in Wuxi in September.

    Collecting speed and travel time data without using roadside infrastructure could offer new possibilities to cash-strapped road authorities. Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o
