Q-Free has demonstrated the vehicle location capabilities of its current range of Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) systems in Australia in tests carried out with Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), the transport authority for News South Wales. Q-Free’s systems gave second-by-second positional information on heavy vehicles manoeuvring at intersections. They demonstrated Q-Free’s C-ITS systems’ ability to provide to-the-lane accuracy and open the way to future C-ITS applications where, for example, drivers need to be w
