u-blox Accelerates Technological Safety of V2X 'Active Traffic Safety'
Published2018.06.11 08:16u-blox released the UBX-P3, a V2X (vehicle-to-everything) wireless communication chip based on the DSRC/802.11p standard, today.
This chip was developed based on u-blox's THEO-P1 and VERA-P1 V2X module technologies and experience in supplying technology for V2X chip manufacturing.
u-blox's V2X communication chip UBX-P3
The UBX-P3 chip, developed with 100% proprietary technology, can be seen as an achievement demonstrating u-blox's contribution to the commercialization of future active safety and autonomous driving technologies that prevent vehicle accidents.
V2X technology was developed with the goal of reducing traffic accidents and optimizing traffic flow, and it utilizes V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) wireless communication technologies to share real-time surrounding situational information with all vehicles on the road.
Such V2X technology not only enhances road safety and effectively manages traffic volume but can also be applied to various fields, including freight vehicle platooning, smart cities, mining, and agriculture.
UBX-P3 communicates based on the IEEE 802.11p wireless standard, which is a Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) in the United States. The already established DSRC/802.11p technology can be immediately implemented in V2X systems. Currently, many major automotive suppliers are developing DSRC/802.11p-based solutions.
Vehicle and truck OEM companies have also already implemented commercial solutions related to this or plan to do so in the near future.
The UBX-P3 chip features a small form factor of 9mm x 11mm, supporting various design options for vehicles and road infrastructure. The UBX-P3 can communicate with two channels simultaneously, which means it can improve vehicle safety by continuously processing safety and service messages.
In addition, the UBX-P3 can be used to communicate simultaneously on a single channel with two antennas, eliminating dead zones in vehicle communication.
u-blox, a leader in automotive location tracking solutions, has led the quality and supply of the automotive manufacturing industry for 20 years. The UBX-P3 is designed to meet the demanding requirements of the market and is a solution that completes u-blox’s portfolio, which encompasses vehicle location tracking, cellular communication, and near-field wireless technologies.
"The UBX-P3 is the result of a long-term investment in V2X technology development and will accelerate the implementation of DSRC/802.11p technology, contributing to improved safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the transportation sector," said Herbert Blaser, Senior Director at u-blox's Near Field Communications Products Center.

Self-driving buses and trucks will be available on public roads starting next year.
Demonstration research on autonomous buses and cargo vehicles will commence, aimed at developing and deploying these vehicles in transportation services such as public transit and logistics. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will hold a project kickoff meeting on the 25th (Friday) at El Tower for two R&D projects: "Demonstration Research on Autonomous Driving-based Public Transportation System" and "Development of Vehicle/Object Communication (V2X)-based Cargo Vehicle Platooning Operation Technology." There is an urgent need to introduce autonomous driving technology into public transportation (buses) and logistics (cargo vehicles) that people encounter in their daily lives. However, to date, South Korea's autonomous vehicle technology development has primarily focused on personal passenger vehicles, with buses and cargo vehicles only now entering the initial stages of development.

A single misaligned light means 'defect'… Vehicle interior lighting now guarded by semiconductors and software
Automotive interior lighting is moving beyond its role as 'auxiliary lighting.' As it becomes a core element of user experience (UX) that expresses brand identity through color and animation while reflecting driver preferences, the LED interior ambient lighting market is growing rapidly. In connection with this, we met in advance with Choi Young-jae, Research Director at Dabo Corporation, who will present a technical webinar session on "Intelligent LED Interior Lighting Solutions Illuminating Future Vehicles," to hear about market trends and changes in design requirements.
