McCain and Qualcomm showcased C-V2X technology at 2018 CES

McCain and Qualcomm showcased their connected car technology at this week's 2018 CES as a key part of their C-V2X technology demonstration. The McCain and Qualcomm technology demonstrations showcased to the audience how C-V2X Direct Communications is an important data exchange between vehicles and traffic control infrastructure to enhance safety, optimize traffic flow and lay the groundwork for autonomous driving.

McCain's state-of-the-art transportation system provides real-time traffic data including Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) and traffic signal preemption, aiming to harness the use of Roadside Unit (RSU) , The device is also equipped with a Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset for V2I communication. These data play an extremely important role in helping secure navigation of emerging internet and self-driving cars.

As a subsidiary of the Austrian Swarco Group, McCain Auto Coupons presented its compact Backpack cockpit and runs the Omni eX Intersection Control Software on the FLeX Controller. The High-resolution data provided by the McCain system provides the vehicle with a countdown timer that shows when the signal is changing and provides critical safety alerts, including reminding of possible nearby pedestrians, having Emergency vehicles in close proximity, emergency vehicles to achieve priority access.

The C-V2X employs a direct mode of communication designed to enable direct communication between the vehicle and other vehicles (V2V), pedestrian-enabled devices (V2P), traffic lights and road infrastructure (V2I) such as the construction area without the intervention of a cellular network or Service order.

C-V2X has a clear 5G evolution path, the design of the technology supports reverse and forward compatibility, is expected to be applied in 2019 in production models. McCain and Qualcomm are currently testing C-V2X technology at the San Diego Autonomous Car Test Ground.
