Road traffic safety & efficiency to be improved

As their ultimate goal is to improve road traffic safety and efficiency, the Consortium is working to develop roadmaps for V2X communications and to harmonise related standards. Lane accurate positioning and short range communication technology, both a focus of u-blox, play an important role for ITS applications.

Thomas Seiler, CEO, u-blox, commented: “We see the work of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium as pivotal to the success of C-ITS deployment, both in Europe and further afield. Its working groups and technical committee are undertaking very important work to ensure that vehicle communications technologies will contribute to saving lives and reduce injury by making our roads safer. We’re delighted to be able to contribute to that effort.”
