The Roadway Transportation & Traffic Safety Research Center (RTTSRC) in collaboration with Tata Consultancy Services, an Indian multinational technology company (IT), participated on Thursday, 1 February 2018 in UAEU innovation week activities with a prototype of innovative Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Technology for real-time traffic navigation and control within urban networks.

 

Among six developed invented vehicles, the prototype of the innovative vehicle represents a consolidated effort by Professor Yasser Hawas, Director of RTTSRC and a team of inventors from UAEU’s students and researchers. In which, Professor Hawas briefed the participants and visitors headed by H.E Mohammed Albaili, Vice Chancellor of UAEU, about the work mechanism of this innovative vehicle- to-vehicle communication technology, and how it can be benefited in order to achieve automatic communication between the two cars for navigation and traffic control purposes, which can be achieved through a developed of smart applications to overcome congestion in the roads and provide self-identification using the satellite to  help drivers reaching their destination as easiest as possible.  The vehicle will be equipped with innovative technology device that consists of three controllers, the CPU, The Wireless Communication WC and the Geographic Information System (GPS) unit, in addition to a smart algorithm that connects the devices in all vehicles to update the data and ensure that the user reaches his destination in the shortest possible time.

 

The presentation of this model gives a great opportunity for students, faculty and researchers at UAEU as well as for the participated institutions that are involved in the automotive industry, transport agencies and all relevant departments to identify the benefits and employ this innovative technology knowledge toward the innovation of vehicle communication technologies.
