Ettifos, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications technology provider headquartered in South Korea, has been selected through a competitive procurement process to support the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT), Arizona, in delivering the Connected Vehicle Acceleration Zone (CVAZ), a deployment designed to accelerate interoperable V2X technology across key corridors in the county.
Ettifos will supply its V2X-AIR aftermarket OBU to support the scheme’s V2X applications, as part of a multi-vendor deployment bringing together V2X solutions from various suppliers to create an interoperable environment intended to support deployment scalability and sustainability.
Hojun Kim, chief executive of Ettifos, says the project marks a step toward scalable, real-world V2X deployment in the US.
“We are proud to support the project with V2X-AIR and demonstrate how Ettifos’ technology can connect existing vehicles to safer, smarter transportation networks across Maricopa County.
“Deployments like CVAZ are essential to proving the value of V2X technology at scale and accelerating its adoption across the US.”
