Notraffic Pioneers the Future of Transportation with Innovative V2X Technology
Notraffic, a mobility platform provider, recently secured a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its groundbreaking V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) connectivity technology. The patent, titled "Traffic control enhancement using V2X communication and sensor data," is for an AI mobility platform designed to benefit not only connected vehicles but also non-connected vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs).
Aligning with National Goals
Notraffic's technology aligns perfectly with the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) strategic goal to deploy V2X technology at 25% of all signalized intersections within two years and 50% within four years. To support this, the USDOT has allocated an initial budget of $40 million through its V2X Deployment Accelerator initiative, underscoring the importance of V2X technology and the U.S.'s commitment to advancing next-generation mobility.
Notraffic's AI mobility platform is the first software-defined infrastructure to include sensors at signalized intersections, a mobility operating system that manages the traffic light grid in real time, and a mobility store that serves as a one-stop shop for activating various mobility applications. Notably, V2X connectivity is already built into the platform, allowing traffic operators to activate a wide range of V2X applications with a single click, without the need for additional dedicated hardware. This solution is cost-effective, easy to install, and highly compatible with existing infrastructure.
Beyond Conventional V2X
The platform's built-in monitoring operates 24/7, ensuring the smooth operation of safety-critical applications. It supports various V2X applications, such as automated Signal Phase and Timing (SPAT) and MAP messages, as well as Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) and Transit Signal Priority (TSP) functions.
Conventional V2X technology has been limited by its reliance on the mass adoption of connected vehicles, excluding non-connected road users, including VRUs. However, Notraffic's patented technology overcomes this limitation by integrating both connected and non-connected road users. By analyzing camera, radar, V2X, and cellular inputs with its AI algorithms, the system combines data from various sources to provide connected vehicles with crucial information about the presence of all road users in their vicinity.
Tal Kreisler, CEO and co-founder of Notraffic, stated, "Notraffic's mission has always been rooted in our efforts to redefine mobility. The issuance of this patent is a testament to our team's collective dedication to pushing the boundaries of traffic innovation." He added, "Our platform offers a wide range of V2X applications that go beyond immediate benefits, positioning it as the ultimate all-in-one solution for V2X implementation. With quick installation and seamless continuous operation capabilities, this platform is the top choice."
"As we celebrate this achievement, we look forward with excitement to envisioning an environment where our technology plays a central role in creating safer, smarter, and more seamlessly connected roads," said Kreisler.
