U-blox makes chips for Cohda

Chip maker u-blox is to take over manufacture and supply of Cohda Wireless’ V2X radio module. “We have decided to license its design in order to focus on software IP,” explained Paul Gray, CEO of Cohda. The move will help meet what the companies call “rapidly increasing demand for V2X modules for trials, early deployments and infrastructure roll-out”.

Chip maker 602 u-blox is to take over manufacture and supply of 6667 Cohda Wireless’ V2X radio module. “We have decided to license its design in order to focus on software IP,” explained Paul Gray, CEO of Cohda. The move will help meet what the companies call “rapidly increasing demand for V2X modules for trials, early deployments and infrastructure roll-out”.

Herbert Blaser, Senior Director, Product Center Short Range Radio at u-blox, said: “We are also convinced that conventional driver assistance solutions will significantly benefit from the adoption of V2X technologies.”

    Adopting universal technology platforms for tolling
    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

    Do satellites provide a heavenly view of tolling’s future?
    Satellite-based tolling opens up new options for authorities and can be integrated with DSRC systems as David Crawford discovers. As the proud custodian of the European Union (EU)’s longest road network covered by a single (truck) charging scheme – and the only one to include all major roads - Slovakia has become the continent’s poster-nation for the virtues of GNSS/CN (Global Navigation Satellite System/Cellular Network)-based tolling. It is also proved to be a very fast implementer. Speaking at the 2014 I

    Report identifies opportunities for road freight carbon and cost reduction
    Switching from diesel to gas, reducing rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag and introducing more hybrid and electric vehicles are identified as key opportunities for further cutting carbon and improving efficiency in the road freight sector, according to a new report commissioned by the Transport Knowledge Transfer Network (TKTN) and the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP). The report, written by Ricardo-AEA for the project partners, focuses on the key technical opportunities, and identifies options
