Verizon, Nissan, CCTA collaborate on connected-vehicle technology for roadway safety

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon and Nissan North America’s Research and Advanced Engineering team have completed a research proof-of-concept demonstrating how sensor data from vehicles and surrounding infrastructure can be processed at the edge of Verizon’s wireless network and communicated back to vehicles for urgent driver notifications in near real time. The test successfully applied that process -- an example of cellular vehicle-to-everything communication (C-V2X) -- to scenarios in which drivers may find it difficult to see vulnerable pedestrians or oncoming traffic emerging from behind visual obstructions. The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) will initiate validation of the technology for its Automated Driving Systems Grant Program, which would see the use case tested in controlled public environments in Contra Costa County toward potential live deployment upon validation.“Communication between vehicles and the environment around them, or C-V2X, will be one of the most important transportation innovations of the connected and autonomous future of driving,” said TJ Fox, Senior Vice President of Industrial IoT and Automotive, Verizon Business. “This proof of concept shows that edge computing with Verizon’s cellular network can help take the resource-intensive compute burden off vehicles and public infrastructure -- housing their software platforms and crunching their sensor data for them -- and can communicate data outward to prompt potentially lifesaving safety alerts or autonomous driving features in the car, all essentially in real time.”

Key Points: 
  • Making breakthroughs in products and technologies is a core piece of Nissans business, said Maarten Sierhuis, Ph.D., vice president, Nissan Technical Center North America.
  • The successful development and pilot of this research technology reinforces our commitment to helping keep drivers and passengers safe and the future of mobility.
  • Taking a proactive approach to safety is a priority for CCTA, and the technology were testing together will contribute toward making connected and automated vehicles a safe option for future travel.
