Nick Porrini and Mark Seng of Connex2X and Thomas Bauer of Traffic Technology Services, Inc., will explore the future of V2X and its impact on fleets in their I&E presentation, “Going Green, It’s Not What You Think! The Why and How of Getting Started with V2X Technology,” scheduled for Tuesday, April 12 at 11:30 am, on the main stage in the Expo Hall. “We’re going to focus on traffic lights and then ease into V2X,” says Porrini. “There are still a lot of people who don’t know much about V2X.”
“The important thing to realize about V2X is that it is not some futuristic thing on the horizon,” says, Joe Zucchero, Chief Technology Officer for Connex2X. “It’s here and now. Fleet managers will be able to fire up their vehicles and communicate with the new technology infrastructure.” The U.S. Department of Transportation has a heat map that shows where the infrastructure already is and where it’s going to be, he says.
First and foremost, Zucchero says the purpose of V2X is to dramatically increase safety. “It’s about helping the driver know what’s going on around them,” he says. “V2X is the future of driving. It’s brings safety and fuel efficiencies, and cuts back on driver frustrations.”
