Vehicle-to-Cyclist Communication (V2C).

 

As automated vehicles become more common on our roads, new technologies are emerging to facilitate communication between cars and cyclists.

Solutions to facilitate safe interactions in automated traffic include equipping automated vehicles and vulnerable road users, such as cyclists, with awareness or notification systems, as well as connecting them to a network of motorized vehicles and infrastructure.

These V2C systems allow vehicles to detect cyclists and communicate their intentions, while also alerting cyclists to potential dangers from approaching vehicles. This bidirectional communication helps reduce the risk of collisions, particularly in complex urban environments where visibility may be limited.
