V2X to be showcased at the World IT Show
Commercialization in the second half of the year following verification with Socar and Remote ADAS

SK Telecom announced that it will accelerate the development of vehicle technologies 'T Remote Eye V2X (Vehicle to Everything)' and 'Remote ADAS' (Remote Advanced Driving Assistance System), which equip vehicles with communication functions to significantly enhance driving safety, and commercialize them in the second half of the year.

SK Telecom plans to publicly demonstrate application services through 'T Remote Eye V2X' at the 'World IT Show' opening on the 24th, such as automatically sending a warning to the T Map of a following vehicle when a preceding vehicle brakes suddenly, and sending a warning alarm to the driver regarding information on the remaining signal of nearby traffic lights or when a gas valve inside the house is opened before driving.

Among these, a service that notifies following vehicles of dangerous situations involving a preceding vehicle is scheduled to be commercialized on T Map in the second half of the year using the LTE network.

'Remote ADAS' is a technology that warns the driver of risks such as lane departure and collisions with vehicles ahead or pedestrians through specialized equipment capable of detecting the vehicle's surroundings. This technology also transmits accident data or driving big data to a control center, where it is used to analyze vehicle status and driver habits.

Car-sharing service providers can reduce the likelihood of accidents and significantly cut accident handling costs through 'Remote ADAS'. Instead, drivers with high safe driving scores receive benefits such as a discount on the rental price.

In addition, SK Telecom has partnered with Socar and plans to verify the 'Remote ADAS' technology using test vehicles. The company intends to complete testing and verification of the 'Remote ADAS' solution by the end of July and, depending on the verification results, plans to commercialize it as early as the second half of the year.

At the current stage, 'T Remote Eye V2X' and 'Remote ADAS' technologies are applied to connected cars via LTE networks. SK Telecom is preparing to apply these technologies to autonomous vehicles via 5G.

Park Jin-hyo, Head of the Network Technology Institute at SK Telecom, stated, “We are extensively developing foundational technologies for autonomous driving with various partners to lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” adding, “We will commercialize advanced autonomous driving technologies sequentially and expand cooperation with automakers and global ICT companies.”
