Car-to-X communication & car-to-infrastructure: Real-time data for intelligent traffic control

Car-to-X communication stands for the communication of different vehicles (vehicle-to-vehicle) as well as for the communication of vehicles and infrastructure (vehicle-to-infrastructure). The clou: generating and processing real-time data real-time data
Real-time data is data which is processed immediately. Unlike statistical data, real-time data shows momentary values which change dynamically. This data is also called Floating Car Data (FCD) or Extended Floating Car Data (XFCD). (FCD).

The exchange of information with different road users and with the infrastructure is an essential part of modern traffic. This kind of communication will become even more important in the future. AUDIO MOBIL uses special hardware and software technologies which generate real-time information for V2X components. Only real-time data allows optimized driving.

AUDIO MOBIL develops electronic components and software which generate vehicle data (XFCD) and high-performance antennas for V2X communication. GSM, UMTS UMTS
UMTS is the abbreviation of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System and denotes a transmission standard in mobile communications. UMTS allows a high data transfer rate. and WLAN WLAN
WLAN is the abbreviation of Wireless Local Area Networks. are the most important transmission modes that connect the vehicle with its surroundings. Our work not only comprehends technical aspects but also tasks such as detailed benchmarking in the field of V2X communication.

Vehicle-to-X communication for traffic management

With clever electronic components which can easily be mounted in almost any car, AUDIO MOBIL generates real-time data consisting of vehicle and environment information (XFCD). Anonymized real-time data allows a very exact calculation and control of the traffic flow – and this leads to quick and safe traveling for all road users.

AUDIO MOBIL has developed an intelligent, holistic system for traffic control: The AUDIO MOBIL traffic management. It uses existing technologies and completes them with the collection of real-time data, anonymizing of the data as well as traffic control. All road users are part of the system, but also infrastructure elements like traffic lights and road signs.

Traffic management: Connection of real-time data (FCD) for more mobility

Modern traffic management means connecting the vehicle to traffic information and traffic capacities. The vehicle as well as stationary services send data which allows efficient control of the traffic flow.

The steadily growing number of vehicles on the street makes intelligent traffic management systems vital. These systems connect real-time data from different sources – the basis for optimized traffic control. With the collected data, the traffic management system controls traffics lights and road signs depending on the mass of traffic. The driver profits from faster traveling, less fuel consumption and reduced emissions.

More efficiency with real-time data

While traffic management systems of the past use statistical data, the AUDIO MOBIL traffic management uses real-time data (XFCD). The collected data contains vehicle data like friction coefficient, momentary fuel consumption and temperature which are anonymized and transmitted by V2X communication components.

Additionally, the vehicle receives information about the current traffic volume (e.g. at the destination) or condition of the destined route. The information comes from location based services on the one hand but also from other vehicles which constantly send anonymized data to the traffic management.

More time, more money, more quality of life

AUDIO MOBIL has gathered all its know-how in telematics telematics
Telematics is a term composed of telecommunication and informatics. Telematics links the technologies from the two fields and is the basis for e.g. the internet or telephone networks. and telemetrics to create an intelligent traffic management where the human user is in the foreground. The user benefits from time and money savings. The advantages for OEMs and road network operators are clear: They can offer their customers a holistic solution guaranteeing the individual mobility of the future with the technology and service of AUDIO MOBIL.
