The US National Electrical Manufacturers Association (Nema) has published a new standard for deploying communications technologies in connected vehicle (CV) infrastructure.
It is designed as a harmonised technical specification that facilitates Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication regardless of the type of device or underlying technology.
“The NEMA TS 10 Standard helps realise the promise of connected vehicles, reducing fatalities and crashes, and improving traffic,” said Applied Information president Bryan Mulligan, chair of the Nema Transportation Management Systems and Associated Control Devices section.
“Focusing the Standard on applications and how to achieve deployment makes this a key part of getting this life-saving technology deployed," he adds.
“NEMA TS 10 contains key elements that enable road infrastructure owners and operators to confidently procure equipment knowing it will remain interoperable and effective as technology advances,” adds Steve Griffith, Nema industry director for Transportation Systems Division.
“The Standard provides solutions to specific applications such as emergency vehicle signal preemption, pedestrian crossing ahead, and entering school or work zones.”
