Leading-edge Technology with the C-V2X Pilot
Project, City of La Quinta By Carlos Ortiz, P.E., PTOE, COO
Recently, ADVANTEC conducted a C-V2X Pilot Project in the City of La Quinta as part of our CVAG CV Sync Program. We are deploying connected vehicle technologies where newer vehicles will be able to see the Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) and other Basic Safety Messages (BSM) via vehicle On-Board Unit (OBU) that will communicate with the roadway infrastructure. This leading-edge technology in La Quinta will help to advance the City and region as we move closer and closer to implementing the use of connected/automated vehicles. The C-V2X Pilot
Project was a success and CVAG will be deploying the technology over 600 signalized intersections in the Coachella Valley and creating Connected and Smart Corridors.
