Article by Elisabeth Uhlemann Safety research conducted by Volvo shows that adjusting speeds to the actual traffic situation can radically reduce the risk of accidents. By alerting people to dangers ahead in a timely manner and allowing them to adapt with time to spare, connected safety technologies can support better driver behavior and boost trafficRead More
Article by Elisabeth Uhlemann In 1999, the FCC reserved 75 MHz of spectrum in the 5.9-GHz band for automakers to develop technology that allows vehicles to communicate with each other. DSRC was developed with this aim and includes V2V, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communications, collectively referred to as V2X technologies. However, due to spectrumRead More
