Connected Car
That’s the shape of things to comeAlso involved in the trial are the UK Government Centre for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CCAV) and the Midlands Future Mobility (MFM) consortium (the ‘Midlands’ is the UK automotive hotspot region). This allows real time road information from Highways England to be displayed initially on users’ smartphones, and in the future, on in-car infotainment systems. The platform works with Convex, Chordant’s Mobility Data Exchange facility, to enable dynamic data to be exchanged with road operators and their traffic systems. The trial will also see the UK’s first live implementation of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology. Meanwhile road transport contributes to around 20% of total global CO2 emissions.
