V2X safety company HAAS, and smart road platform Cavnue, have announced a collaboration to improve driver awareness, enhance road safety, and showcase the exciting future of smart roads.
The new collaboration will see Cavnue’s advanced digital and physical infrastructure connected to HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud, the nation’s largest connected vehicle platform.
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Cavnue, a leader and innovator in intelligent infrastructure,” says Cory Hohs, CEO and cofounder of HAAS Alert. “We know that digital alerts make roads safer for everyone, and the opportunity to use smart road technology to both identify hazards and alert drivers to them is a real breakthrough that will save lives.”
When Cavnue detects hazards and incidents on the road, Safety Cloud will deliver notifications to approaching drivers inside their vehicles, giving drivers critical extra seconds to react and reduce crash risks. Safety Cloud alerts are available today in Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Chrysler, and Volkswagen vehicles, as well as through navigation apps like Waze, ensuring broad reach and immediate impact.
Cavnue’s dense sensor network reliably and accurately observes the road with lane-level precision and will enable teams at the Michigan Department of Transportation to instantly identify crashes, disabled vehicles, debris, and other hazards that might pose a threat to drivers, generating real-time, lane-level insights for road users to improve situational awareness and help unlock higher levels of vehicle automation.
“We are thrilled to see two technology entities collaborating in the mission to build a safer and more connected roadway system. Combining HAAS Alert’s real-time safety alerts and Cavnue’s smart road technology will accelerate MDOT’s work to improve safety and lay the foundation for the future of mobility,” says Bradley C Wieferich, director of the Michigan Department of Transportation.
The Cavnue connected and automated vehicle (CAV) corridor on Michigan’s I-94 is a first-of-its- kind smart road deployment that delivers digital and physical infrastructure improvements to enable the safe and efficient transportation of goods and people while helping ‘future proof’ roadways for advancements in automated transportation.
“This collaboration with HAAS Alert directly aligns with Cavnue’s vision of creating a seamless, integrated transportation network for the future,” says Tyler Duvall, CEO and cofounder of Cavnue. “This technology can transform safety on the road, and digital alerts extend the reach of that transformation to as many drivers as possible.”
