Denso partners with Thai ITS on V2V and V2X

4306 Denso Corporation and Denso International Asia (DIAT) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Thai Intelligent Transport System (ITS), with the aim of easing traffic congestion through the use of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communications.

In large cities like Bangkok, the number of vehicles has increased dramatically, resulting in an increase in traffic congestion and accidents. There have been growing expectations for the use of V2X communications among governments and car users to help alleviate traffic congestion and prevent accidents in Thailand.

Denso Corporation, DIAT and Thai ITS will collaborate their research efforts to gather wireless data on urban streets, as well as evaluating information systems that are commercialised in Japan to determine their adaptability to the traffic conditions of Thailand.

The results of the project will be used in formulating future ITS policies in Thailand.

The results of that work have now been made public. Although the technical requirements for safe and efficient transport of individuals and road freight have long since been fulfilled, a flexible and secure communications network is still required.

    The EU’s UDRIVE project will investigate driver behaviour in terms of road safety and the decarbonisation of road transport, as Nicole van Nes and Silvia Curbelo explain. There were nearly 25,700 fatalities on European Union (EU) roads in 2014 or, to look it another way, roughly 70 people are killed in traffic accidents on European roads every day - and many more are injured. Around 22% of the fatalities are pedestrians, 15% will be motorcycle riders and 8% cyclists. So despite the improvements in road safe
