One of the leading developers of connected intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure equipment, Applied Information Inc., has launched a new product that detects when a traffic control device has been knocked down due to an accident, storm or vandalism, and ‘calls’ for help.

One of the leading developers of connected intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure equipment, Applied Information Inc., has announced that its LTE cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) products are now deployed in more than 500 cities, counties, school districts and states across the USA.

Applied Information (AI), a leading intelligent transportation infrastructure technology provider, announced at CES 2019 that its LTE C-V2X products are now deployed in more than 500 U.S. cities, counties, school districts and states – providing cellular connectivity to traffic signals, school zone flashing beacons, emergency vehicles and other traffic control devices.

Qualcomm sees a future where cars will not only be able to talk to each other but see and avoid pedestrians and cyclists, as long as they are carrying a phone. What’s more, Ford, Audi and Ducati are among those already on board. Applied Information is supplying the infrastructure devices.

One of the most important developments out of CES 2019 was the momentum of cellular vehicle-to-everything technology and how Ford will roll it out to its global fleet by 2022. Amid robotics, health and wellness gadgets, laptops and a bevy of other devices, Ford’s move to adopt Qualcomm’s cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) platform was largely overlooked.
