CHARGING & INFRASTRUCTURE
“ V2X technology can offer businesses benefits such as improved safety ( V2V communication ); enhanced efficiency ( optimised traffic flow , reduced congestion , improved travel time ); new revenue streams ( charging infrastructure , MaaS , data monetisation ); competitive advantage ( value-adding services ); and regulatory compliance ( V2X might become mandatory in some regions ),” von Alten explains .
When it comes to implementing new connectivity solutions , regulations remain important aspects of their success , particularly as partner collaboration is key and local authorities still have the final say in whether such technologies are viable in their areas .
Organisations can develop solutions for connecting much faster , but the real governing factor beyond the consumer is the brands that support them as well as how city and town regulators respond — which is ultimately down to persuasion from those applying connected services to the wider infrastructure .
“ V2X is more than just digital connectivity between vehicles and infrastructure . It combines collaboration between different systems ( incl . vehicle ecosystems and infrastructure systems ) and different stakeholders to meet overall benefits .
“ The technical solution is about processes , roles and responsibilities , and governance to manage the V2X environment ,” says von Alten . “ This is driving the complexity to implement V2X , because of the different brand-specific and local-specific requirements . To be successful , standards are essential .”
