Description (French)
Smart Roadways permet aux agences d’atteindre en toute sécurité et de manière rentable le plus grand réseau de conducteurs de camions commerciaux grâce à un système d’alerte numérique en cabine qui a prouvé qu’il améliorait le comportement des conducteurs et réduisait les collisions. Le projet augmentera la capacité et l’agilité du système Drivewyze pour prendre en charge d’immenses volumes de données provenant d’un nombre croissant de camions sur notre réseau, et le déploiement transparent de nouvelles applications qui répondent aux besoins du marché Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) pour améliorer la sécurité et l’efficacité. Drivewyze peut alors livrer des produits sans interruption de service ni sacrifice de qualité. Le projet permettra de construire une plateforme Connected Truck améliorée d’architecture flexible et axée sur les données et contribuera à la formation d’un réseau Connected Truck robuste.
