BMW generally do the projects like this only it improves automobile technology a lot and become the best opponent to other German car makers. And it is once again in the news for car-to-x communication technology and it works up. In the past we have seen several technologies that use an array of sensors on vehicles to help drivers commute safely. But the coverage of these sensors is often limited, meaning that they work perfectly in the immediate surroundings of the vehicle but fail to anticipate when the distance is more than the very proximity of the vehicle.
Now BMW has been working on the Car-to-X communication technology that greatly extends the anticipation limits of vehicles and will in future help drivers to look farther, see things that are hidden, and even tell you what is around the corner. BMW along with numerous companies from the automotive and telecommunications industries, the federal state government of Hessen, the city of Frankfurt am Main and a number of prominent universities and research institutes is working on the research project simTD (a German abbreviation standing for Safe Intelligent Mobility – Testing Ground Germany) which the Car-to-X technology is a part of.
Car-to-X communication means networking vehicles and infrastructure with one another electronically, enabling a direct exchange of information between both the vehicles themselves and between vehicles and the traffic infrastructure, such as traffic light systems. So basically it is a comprehensive messaging network that will in the future involve every road user, as it will work more efficiently when used by masses and not just on a handful of vehicles.
How It Works?
Car-to-X communication essentially takes place via wireless LAN and mobile network connections. It is based on high-speed WLAN, which is derived from the high-frequency WLAN standard IEEE 802.11p or ITS G5A and allows real-time communication. The protocol is structured in such a way so as to let different subscribers communicate with one another at the same time, without any interference.
