First school zone safety connected vehicle device as FCC’s final rules for C-V2X take effect
ALPHARETTA, GA (February 12, 2025) – Applied Information, North America’s leading provider of Connected Vehicle technology for the traffic control infrastructure, today announced the release of the Glance® AI-500-070-CV School Zone Safety Beacon with advanced Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communication.
The small form factor device equips School Zone Beacons with C-V2X communications using the Qualcomm® 9150 chipset to enable 5.9 GHz direct communication while also supporting 4G LTE cellular network connectivity. The C-V2X function means safety alerts can be sent to the TravelSafely™ app, Waze maps and HAAS Safety Cloud® to tell motorists to slow down in active school zones.
The unit is designed to be easily retrofitted into existing school beacon cabinets, making it a cost-effective, low-power upgrade for beacons. The unit also adds Glance monitoring and control, enabling authorized users to change school zone schedules remotely from a smartphone or desktop. With an automatic knock-down feature, the device provides alerts when the beacon has been struck by a vehicle or damaged.
Glance is used by more than 1,450 state and local transportation agencies across North America to saves lives and improve traffic, including more than 10 percent of U.S. public schools. Email sales@appinfoinc.com for more information.
