[motorcycle.com] - Ducati and Audi Working on V2X Tech
Tech is not the answer to every problem, but it’s definitely already made most of our lives* better in lots of ways. When people freak out over autonomous vehicles, I definitely understand their concerns. Tech, when it doesn’t work, can also be eminently frustrating and potentially deadly. But over the years, it seems like a little fine-tuning is all it takes to nearly perfect some systems: “I never got your email” is no longer a valid excuse. People who said ABS was a bad idea have had their own lives saved by it many times by now. Now there’s lean-sensitive ABS, traction control – so why not V2X to solve motorcycling’s biggest threat: cars running into us. I hope I get to ride long enough to benefit from “Across Traffic Turn Collision Risk Warning” tech, but if I don’t, at least my kid will. Ducati and Audi are on the case. —————————————————————————————————————-Ducati Press Release, 12 July 2018 Ducati is working with industry leaders in developing direct communication interoperability between motorcycles, vehicles, and infrastructure
* One of these technologies is called C-V2X and it is a wireless communication system between road users such as cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycles and infrastructure. C-V2X technology is a key step toward 5G for automotive applications with direct communication between vehicles and their surroundings. * The demonstration featured Audi Q7 and Audi A4 road vehicles, as well as a Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro two-wheel vehicle equipped with C-V2X technology utilizing the Qualcomm*9150 C-V2X chipset solution. The showcase demonstrated common situations that can take place between motorcycles and vehicles, and how C-V2X technology can be used to help improve road safety. These include Intersection Collision Warning, where a vehicle equipped with C-V2X technology pulls out from a junction with an adjoining road and avoids hitting a motorcycle rider who has the right of way, as well as Across Traffic Turn Collision Risk Warning, in which a vehicle avoids a left turn collision with a motorcycle. Finally a warning of sudden braking of the leading two-wheel vehicle. Neuburg, 03.07.2018: xxx. Foto: Lukas Barth “This is the perfect demonstration of use cases in which the modern technologies can drastically improve the safety of future motorcycle users”,*said Pierluigi Zampieri, Vehicle Innovation Manager at Ducati Motor Holding.*“Indeed, the C-V2X communication is definitely one of the key projects of the Ducati 2025 safety road map”. * This demonstration was the first of the ConVeX (Connected Vehicle to Everything) project involving Audi, Ducati, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), SWARCO, the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, and Qualcomm CDMA Technologies GmbH.
