278 Ford Europe is to present the latest results from the SimTD project at 6224 Telematics Munich. The SimTD project tested car-to-car (C2C) and car-to-infrastructure (V2X) communication in one of the world’s largest field operational tests in Germany.

Supported by the Car2Car Consortium, the €70million SimTD project spearheads the European auto industry’s efforts towards an intelligent mobility network with seven test sites on the continent. The aim is to further global harmonisation of V2X standards, initiating early deployment of dedicated short range communication leading to increased global V2X penetration.

Christian Ress, Ford’s expert in connectivity for active safety, will present the latest findings at the conference. He said: “…I’m glad to see V2X becoming an ever more important topic in the connected car conversation”.

In addition to the SimTD project, others topics to be covered at the conference include smart billing, integrate infotainment, car-sharing as the future of mobility, dealers as the ‘missing link’ and preparation for the deployment of the LTE communication standard.

Telematics Munich 2013 Conference and Exhibition takes place at The Dolce Hotel, Munich, Germany on 11-12 November.
