V2X Communications Options – The Debate: Roberto Ponticelli, Horiba MIRA
Vehicle-to-everything communications (V2X) and its associated solutions enable the exchange of information between vehicles and other parties like road network infrastructure, road users, etc. V2X seeks to: improve road safety, increase traffic flow efficiency, reduce the environmental impact of traffic and provide better traveller information services. However, the Technologies that will enable and sustain the progress toward these goals are not fully agreed by all the stakeholders and not fully specified by current standards. The debate is fierce and still ongoing. This presentation will explore some of the reasons behind this debate and the current V2X technological trends.
