Verizon (VZ) Business has commercially launched Edge Transportation Exchange, a mobile-network vehicle-to-everything communication platform for connected vehicles, with multiple customers already signed on. Following a successful 5G Automotive Association joint demonstration, the Arizona Commerce Authority, Delaware Department of Transportation, Rutgers University Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation and Volkswagen Group of America have begun using the platform. The Edge Transportation Exchange solution allows vehicles to communicate and share important data with each other, pedestrians, and connected roadway infrastructure such as traffic signals, in near real time. The 5GAA joint demonstration included use cases such as informing drivers about vulnerable road users, dangerous weather and roadway conditions, and traffic signal phase and timing at intersections.
