The Linux Foundation has formed the Urban Computing Foundation to allow companies like Google and Uber to collaborate on open source software to improve mobility.
Linux, a non-profit organisation, says the software can also be used to improve safety, traffic congestion and energy consumption in connected cities.
Jim Zemlin, executive director of Linux, says: “The Urban Computing Foundation is poised to provide the compatibility tools and resources for developers to create software that can map out a
Audi is working with Deutsche Telekom and the German city of Ingolstadt to use new 5G technology to improve urban mobility.
The partners will seek to develop a digital transport infrastructure that will improve road safety and traffic flows and provide real-time digital services.
Audi says 5G can be applied to connected traffic signals at road junctions that exchange anonymised movement data with cars and other road users via the network. This allows drivers to react more quickly to unforeseen movements,
