Creating safety through intelligent cooperative systems
Intelligent cooperative systems are the next big challenge in automotive electronics and ITS. These systems, based on V2V and V2I communications, hold the promise of great improvements in the safety of all road users. Intelligent cooperative systems will build and expand on the functionality of the autonomous and standalone in-vehicle and infrastructure-based systems and offer increased information about the vehicles, their location and the road conditions to the road and infrastructure operators, creating the basis for a safer highway.
