EQS-Media / 26.07.2023 / 07:00 CET/CESTSafe and sustainable traffic with Connected VehiclesConnected vehicle technology improves road safety and traffic flowWidespread coverage is needed, says Kapsch TrafficCom CTO Alfredo EscribáVienna, July 26, 2023 – Road traffic is becoming more dangerous for vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists.\nConnecting road users, vehicles and infrastructure is part of the solution, according to Kapsch TrafficCom CTO Alfredo Escribá, but all stakeholders need to get on board to implement this technology.\nTo make roadways safer and greener, and to improve traffic flow, many authorities around the world are beginning to test and implement Orchestrated Connected Corridor (OCC) solutions.\nUsing Connected Vehicles technology combined with advanced data collection, processing platforms and excellent operational capabilities, OCCs provide real-time traffic management capabilities and insights that support a range of innovative safety and traffic mobility use cases.\nOCCs improve safety by identifying hazardous scenarios and communicating with all stakeholders in the transportation ecosystem in real time to reduce accident risks.
