By Onn Haran EV batteries are well protected against fires. The battery pack is kept in a guarded enclosure, and its temperature is constantly monitored. These extra measures are needed since lithium-ion batteries are extremely sensitive to high temperatures and inherently flammable. If a lithium-ion battery pack fails, it will

The world of V2X and road safety technology is wide, and includes a lot of technical terms, complex technologies, and variety of uses. We know all of this can be really confusing and lead to a lot of questions, the answers of which are scattered all over the web and

By Onn Haran The V2X concept of operation is simple. Each vehicle equipped with V2X transmits 10 times per second its position, speed, heading, and other parameters. Based on that, the future location of the vehicle can be calculated by other nearby vehicles, and in case of a potential accident,

By Onn Haran Wouldn’t you want to wake up in the morning with superpowers? Well, this probably will not happen, but your car can have superpowers – when you install V2X. Superman visionSuperman can see objects far away through any obstacle, except lead. So does V2X, which can provide information

By Onn Haran In order for a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication (V2X) sensor to detect a car behind the corner, it should work reliably. One of the unique requirements of the Automotive market is the high operating temperature. While a typical consumer product is graded for 70ᵒ ambient temperature operation, the lowest

By: Jeffrey Fefer, Autotalks’ Technical Marketing Director In the previous part of this blog we discussed the new use-cases which will be supported by V2X in the near future, as well as the challenges they bring to the underlying radio technologies. In a nutshell, the existing V2X radio standards (DSRC

By: Jeffrey Fefer, Autotalks’ Technical Marketing Director The promise of connected cars and the cooperative safety revolution it brings is materializing before our very eyes as these lines are written. More and more carmakers are adopting V2X, and infrastructure is being deployed around the world. Drivers of vehicles equipped with

The safety value of V2X depends on its penetration. The decision of OEM (car maker) to deploy V2X can be analyzed using the game theory.

Driving range is the most important parameter of EVs (electric vehicles). EV drivers are terrified at the thought of their battery gauge emptying out before arriving to their destination. EV makers are constantly increasing the range, but a larger battery increases the vehicle’s cost and weight. But there is a

The world’s largest mobility show, IAA mobility, which took place in early September 2021 in Munich, was all about sustainability. Not a single petrol vehicle was launched. BMW showed a 100% recyclable car concept. Bike halls were added to the event. Sustainable transportation is essential if we want to pass

V2X, Lidar, and radar are all vehicular sensors, aimed to detect other road users in order to enhance vehicle safety and automated driving grade. V2X doesn’t compete with any other vehicular sensors. The baseline assumption is that a camera is installed in all new vehicles, and the new sensors, V2X,

In the same way that the Highways System enabled the private vehicle to reach its mobility and safety potential, the smart road infrastructure is a key enabler for the many critical mobility and safety use cases of the automated vehicle. Let’s look at some examples. Reliable detection of the traffic

In the United States, 40% of all collisions occur at intersections. A quarter of all traffic related deaths and about half of all injuries take place at an intersection. Intersection safety is a major challenge that’s currently being tackled and is considered a top priority on the local, state and

A couple of weeks ago, Ram Shallom and Onn Haran presented the status of V2X in Europe and China at Omniair’s monthly meeting. The recording can be found in the following link. Here is a short summary for those in a rush: V2X is progressing in Europe toward mass-market deployment with
