ezCar2x®: Streamlined Development of Networked Vehicle Applications

Car2X communication is making a major contribution to improved traffic safety and efficiency while enabling a broad range of innovative services:

  • Cooperative driver assistance systems: improved driving comfort and safety through automated danger warnings, by expanding the driver‘s field of view (cooperative perception) and cooperative driving manoeuvres (e.g. platooning)
  • „„Intelligent traffic systems: improved traffic safety through personalized routing, green wave assistance and precise tracking of the traffic situation

With the flexible ezCar2x® software framework the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS (former Fraunhofer ESK) provides the key components needed to rapidly create prototype applications for networking vehicles.

Improved road safety and less traffic congestion: These are the objectives of the joint project "Real-time communication between vehicles via the LTE mobile network enabled by mobile edge computing". Testing was carried out on the German highway A9 in the Munich area. The project, which includes participation by Fraunhofer IKS, Deutsche Telekom, Continental and Nokia Networks, placed first in the best practice competition organized by the Intelligent Networking Initiative.
