DEMO 4: Safety solution based on V2X to enable timely warning provisions

Demo 4 involves V2X communications to increase safety in situations involving cars and VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users). Both exchange information in real-time using ETSI ITS-G5 technology in order to detect collision situations and inform the drivers and the VRUs via timely warnings. Non-connected VRUs are detected by a fixed infrastructure unit (RSU) and this information is transmitted to the vehicles via V2X as well. In case the driver is not following the warning, the vehicle will use the V2X information from the VRUs and the RSU to feed its perception system and react autonomously to avoid the collision.
