Kapsch showcases vehicle-to-vehicle technologies

Cooperative systems in which vehicles communicate with each other (vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V) and to the road infrastructure (V2I) and collectively referred to as V2X, will build the backbone for safe driving as well as efficient and environmentally-friendly road usage in the future.

Cooperative systems in which vehicles communicate with each other (vehicle-to-vehicle or V2V) and to the road infrastructure (V2I) and collectively referred to as V2X, will build the backbone for safe driving as well as efficient and environmentally-friendly road usage in the future.

So 81 Kapsch is very much looking to the future with its V2X demonstration at the ITS World Congress by showcasing how such cooperative communication can avoid accidents, optimise fuel consumption, driving speed and travel time. Participants will experience real-time use cases focusing on road safety, such as hazardous location notification, traffic congestion warning, road works warning and in-vehicle signage. Traveller information and intermodality to air transport and public transport through real-time use cases such as Park&Ride possibilities, free parking space, flight delay, and intervals of public transport are examples of how Kapsch technology is shaping the future of driving.
