This live demonstration of the future of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X)
technology will take place at the
The demonstration will highlight how Iteris’ PedTrax™ video detection capabilities working with Siemens’ latest V2X solution improves pedestrian safety by detecting their presence at a crosswalk and transmitting an advance warning to drivers approaching the intersection.
Key to the success of this process is the accurate communication of the
pedestrian detection to a Siemens Sitraffic ESCoS roadside unit (RSU),
one of the few RSUs today that meet
“We are excited to showcase how seamlessly Iteris PedTrax video
detection integrates with today’s state-of-the-art roadside and onboard
technology to ultimately enhance safety at signalized intersections,”
said
“Iteris is a key proponent of V2X connected vehicle integration and we
look forward to working with its technology in this fast-advancing,
innovative space,” said
According to the FHWA,
24% of national pedestrian fatalities occurred at intersections.
