Seoul City transforms its transport system
Summary
Israel-based Autotalks, a company offering V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication solutions, announced the completion of its role in the Seoul City C-ITS flagship deployment, which is part of the South Korean capital’s plan to establish a unique V2X and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) test platform supporting Autonomous Driving Level 4. With the V2X systems installed across its bus fleet and infrastructure, Seoul City can now offer its citizens an advanced public transport system able to intelligently alert drivers of pedestrian collision, school, and silver zones, as well as road and weather conditions warnings, among other alerts. The project was spearheaded and jointly funded by Seoul City and the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT). With thousands of systems deployed, the project in Seoul is one of the most extensive of any modern city, showing Korea’s commitment to take mobility in public transportation to the next level. “Autotalks applauds Seoul City and MOLIT for advancing their vision of a smart and safe city,” said Ram Shallom, VP Business Development and Marketing in APAC at Autotalks.
