Cohda’s OBUs are expected to exchange data at high speeds over extended distances and improve driver reaction times to potential hazards and safety issues. The in-vehicle system will communicate with the roadside units to share safety-related warnings with drivers.
While the project aims to reduce road and pedestrian deaths in the Australian state, Cohda CEO Dr. Paul Gray says it will produce data that will be of interest all over the world.
Various Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) safety applications will be tested, including driver alerts for emergency braking, in-vehicle speed and for pedestrians or bicycles crossing at an upcoming intersection.
