The Ray in Georgia – a corporate venture devoted to technology testing along an 18-mile-long strip of Interstate 85 – is joining forces with the Georgia Department of Transportation and Panasonic to test a vehicle-to-everything or V2X data “ecosystem” designed to improve roadway safety, reduce traffic congestion, and improve organizational efficiency.
By leveraging the “CIRRUS by Panasonic” data management platform, the Georgia DOT will gain trial access over a period of two years to a V2X ecosystem that constant real-time information from The Ray highway and transmits critical roadway information between state traffic roadway operators and vehicles equipped with V2X technology.
