US Honda, which enhances the safety of connect cars and autonomous cars in 5G communication, joint research test

Honda's US department announced on April 9 that it has launched a joint research test to enhance the safety of connected cars and autonomous vehicles using Belizon's 5G communication.

Since 2017, Honda has developed a technology that has a conflict called "Safeswarm".By exchanging data with "V2X", including inter -vehicle communication (V2V) and inter -road communication (V2i), we analyze the speed when entering a poorly intersection and speed when joining or changing lane.By assisting the occurrence of traffic congestion by assisting the junction at the appropriate speed timing and the lane change, it is safe and smooth, like a group of fish swimming without hitting each other (SWARM).want to be.

Honda and Belizon have conducted tests to avoid accidents by 5G communication, assuming three dangers that can actually occur.The test used Verizon's 5G communication, MEC (mobile edge computing), and V2X software.

For example, if a pedestrian trying to cross the road is hidden in a building or other vehicles and cannot be seen from the driver, a smart camera installed at the intersection sends information to MEC using a 5G network.As a result, pedestrians and vehicles have been detected, and the accurate position of pedestrians is identified.A message to warn the potential danger was sent.

In addition, the driver was listening to loud music in the car, and a test was conducted assuming that the driver could not hear the emergency vehicle siren.Verizon's MEC and V2X Software received a message from an emergency vehicle and sent a warning message to a nearby vehicle.As a result, the driver could receive an emergency vehicle approach.

A test was conducted to assume a vehicle ignoring a signal.Verizon's MEC and V2X software detected vehicles with data from smart cameras and sent a warning message to notify other vehicles approaching the intersection of the existence of signals.

These research tests indicate that 5G communication and MEC can exchange emergency safety messages between vehicles and infrastructure.In the future, the connected car technology may help to enable autonomous driving to communicate seamlessly.
