Applications
V2X communication sets out to resolve two main problems: safety and mobility.
Safety
By securely exchanging information such as speed, acceleration, position and direction of travel, road safety can be significantly improved. Drivers get alerts about dangers in their path. Collisions on our roads can be dramatically reduced; estimations show that approximately 80% of accidents will be avoided.
V2X 2 introduces cooperative perception. With that, information about hidden road users without V2X is shared by remote V2X vehicles.
Improved mobility
V2X improves mobility on roadways. V2X will allow vehicles to coordinate maneuvers as they synchronize to avoid traffic jams or to drive through a green wave. V2X also provides real-time accurate data of vehicle status for accurate future movement prediction, and intention, such as turn lights. This improves traffic flow, resulting in less stress and wasted time in traffic jams. Mobility improvement requires V2X to control the vehicle speed, as enabled by V2X 2.
Connected motorcycles
Motorcyclists are 28x more likely to be involved in a traffic accident. V2X can change that.
Heavy Machinery
The cost of an accident involving heavy machinery is very high. Sites would be accident-free if all vehicles would have V2X.

Autonomous Vehicles
In autonomous vehicles, V2X complements the information coming from other sensors, as it is the only available sensor with non-line-of-sight capabilities. The importance of the V2X sensor is enhanced in rough weather and poor lighting conditions. V2X 2 assures high-reliability messages exchange.
V2I
V2I (Vehicle to Infrastructure), allowing vehicles to communicate with the Infrastructure, is happening now. Major money is being invested in V2X enabled infrastructure.
