Solution allows users to monitor the status of roadside devices for connected vehicles

Q-Free, a supplier of mobility solutions for smart city infrastructure, has launched Kinetic CV, the latest module in its Kinetic Mobility traffic management system.

Kinetic CV allows users to monitor the status of roadside devices for connected vehicles natively in their advanced traffic management system (ATMS). It was recently deployed in Coachella Valley in the US state of California.

Kinetic CV monitors the operational status of connected vehicle roadside units (RSUs) in real time. 

This enables users to proactively address maintenance needs, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of connected vehicle systems. Q-Free said that Kinetic CV is “a significant achievement, bringing connected vehicle management into a single unified ATMS platform suitable for monitoring an agency’s ITS, traffic signals, and connected vehicle infrastructure”.

In the Coachella Valley, Kinetic CV is part of the highly watched CV Sync project. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments is actively integrating connected vehicle technologies. Kinetic CV will be added to the association’s centre-to-centre deployment of Kinetic Signals and Kinetic Signs, further enhancing the region’s capabilities in managing connected vehicle technology.

Having Kinetic CV’s initial deployment as part of the prestigious CV Sync project marks a key step towards a safer, smarter and more connected transportation ecosystem, said Whitney Nottage, executive vice president of traffic management at Q-Free: "This is just the beginning, with more powerful features planned as we continue to drive the future of transportation."
