NXP Semiconductors N.V. and eSSys will be technology partners in Korea’s next-generation Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (C-ITS) project promoted by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
NXP will supply eSSys with its RoadLINK V2X chipset, a vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communication and security solution which will be test-operated on an 87.8 km route between Sejong City (city of government offices) and Daejon. The year-long pilot operation begins July 2016.
Currently, a variety of smart transport technologies are being installed on national highways, including the primary highway for access to the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. The fundamental differentiator that the newly adopted C-ITS with NXP will offer is secure information exchange in real time between vehicles (Vehicle-to-Vehicle, V2V) and between cars and the surrounding intelligent infrastructure (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure, V2I) including roadworks, traffic signs or traffic lights.
Rapid response times combined with the ability of V2X-capable cars to see around corners or through obstacles beyond the driver’s line of sight will prevent accidents, while significantly improving traffic flow and reducing CO2 emissions. According to the Korea National Police Agency, more than 5,000 people die in accidents each year, and more than 300,000 people incur injuries. Congestion currently costs €25 billion per year. The Korea Transport Institute estimates that 76% of all road accidents could be avoided with the full deployment of its C-ITS plans.
