8250 Nordsys has unveiled its mobile test and diagnosic tool for car2x communication environments. The waveBEE touch system is a ruggedised tablet computer that receives wireless communication based on Europe’s ETSI/ITS and the US’s IEEE WAVE specifications and enables the operator to analyse car2X messages in detail.

The tablet allows car2X communication data to be received, visualised and analysed ‘in the field’. Until now, such messages have usually been recorded in equipment-filled vehicles and taken back to base for analysis.

Errors in car2X test scenarios can be detected by the tablet from ranges of around 500m to 3km.

A car2X-equipped vehicle can generate warnings for events such as nearby emergency or broken-down vehicles, as well as poor conditions such as slippery roads.

These were the findings of analysis by Booz Allen Hamilton of NHTSA data which concluded that the loss of life, hospital treatment and damage to assets costs an annual average of $42bn.

    Workzone safety can be economically viable
    David Crawford looks how workzone safety can be ‘economically viable’. Highway maintenance is one of the most dangerous construction industry occupations in Europe. Research from The Netherlands on fatal crashes indicates that the risk facing road workzone operatives is ‘significantly higher’ than that for the general construction workforce. A survey carried out by the Highways Agency, which runs the UK’s motorway and trunk road network, has suggested that 20% of road workers have suffered injuries from pa
