recognises the potential of V2X in ensuring that any road collisions or diversions are reported and managed instantly to the driver , preventing any further incident or dialling out inefficiency .
“ The key point is that this communication needs to be instant to deliver value to the road user . This is possible thanks to our 5G networks and multi-edge computing ,” says Brown .
Not only can such a solution save time and emissions in cities , but with drivers more aware of the road condition changes , they can focus on the surrounding environment , which could reduce collisions with nearby cyclists , pedestrians , and other cars – fostering a more mindful approach to travel .
A great example of V2X is being designed and implemented by Vodafone , which Brown explains allows drivers to determine , what he calls , ‘ time to green ’.
STEP : SAFER TRANSPORT FOR EUROPE PLATFORM
In March 2022 , Vodafone launched STEP to enable faster and more efficient safety information distribution with road users using its proprietary technologies .
To be successful in this , the company ensures an agnostic solution that is compatible with all in-vehicle navigation systems and third-party apps to provide access to real-time traffic and collision data .
Road users will be directly connected with transport authorities to gain a better understanding of the road conditions and leverage these insights to avoid accidents , congestion , and delays on the road .
