IIT Hyderabad, Maruti Suzuki collaborate to do research to combat road mishaps
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad has announced that it will be conducting research on the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technology for India-specific vehicles. The research will be done in collaboration with Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan (SMC), and Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL). The technology can be utilised to further curb traffic incidents and road congestion.
The team claimed that if the drivers are educated with this technology then several road accidents can be averted. With this technology, the drivers will receive alerts of bad road conditions and will be cautioned the driver to tread carefully ahead in the journey. Touted as first-of-its-kind five prototypes, vehicles showcasing these experimental applications in the Indian context were displayed at the IIT Hyderabad campus on Wednesday, the press release stated.
Some of the scenarios of traffic mishaps were showcased during the launch event. As per the scenarios, if car drivers are alerted about an approaching emergency vehicle and its path through V2X communication. It helps the driver to safely plan maneuvers and make way for an emergency vehicle. The alert system will also share minute details like the distance between the vehicles on a real-time basis.
The team also claimed that the technology can also be used for wrong-way driver alerting system, pedestrian alerting systems, and motorcycle alerting system. In addition, it can also be used for using, “car as a computer". The technology will enable all interested car users to share the idle computing capacity of the microprocessor in the car when it is not being used for driving, said the press release issued by the IIT Hyderabad.
