Realizing the full potential of truck platooning

NXP Semiconductors, January 1, 2018

Through the creation of a safe, interoperable wireless communications network, trucks and other vehicles will be able to “talk” to each other continuously, sharing safety, mobility and environmental information when platooning. Connected vehicles can also use wireless communication to “talk” to traffic signals, work zones, toll booths, school zones and other types of on-the-road infrastructure. Additionally, these connected vehicles could alert drivers when a potential hazard arises, such as when another car is too close or in the driver’s blind spot, thereby giving the driver time to react and avoid a potential accident.
