ULAK Communication presented the recently developed national technology solutions at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2024) in Barcelona, Spain.
V2X, one of these solutions designed for the concept of connected vehicles, will offer a number of advantages such as: B. increasing traffic safety, reducing time losses and CO2 emissions through traffic optimization, ensuring energy efficiency, increasing travel comfort and using existing road capacities effectively and efficiently.
Alper Exam, Central Software Director of ULAK Communication Inc., said in his statement that the global development of intelligent transportation systems has begun to incorporate vehicle-related technologies, which are a part of it, into the system with 4G and 5G.
In this regard, Exam stated that as a company they have created a network in which vehicles communicate with each other, with the infrastructure and the network. They called it V2X and stated that the “X” part includes the vehicles, infrastructure, people and other “network” into the system.
“In-vehicle systems enable vehicles to communicate with each other and with the road.”
Since these technologies are vertical technologies of 4G and 5G, he explained that as ULAK Communications they are working on these applications while preparing the infrastructure, he said:
“V2X is a technology designed to provide traffic safety and management, energy efficiency and value-added services, especially in this era when we are starting to move closer to autonomous vehicles. As ULAK, we manufacture vehicle and roadside systems using this technology. On-vehicle systems enable vehicles to communicate with each other and with the road. On the other hand, the systems at the edge share the information they receive from a center and from the vehicles with other vehicles or among themselves and can collect the data coming from the road and send it to a central office. This makes the road smart. Signs on the side of the road or from the headquarters, work on the road, possible accidents, road closures. “Information such as traffic, weather conditions and disaster situations are reported to the vehicles before the vehicle gets there and drivers are alerted.”
Pointing out that they have completed the vehicle scenarios of international standards defined in this area with Anadolu Isuzu, Sözcü said that this is also significant because it is the first system they have developed in the commercial area.
“It is important to deliver products locally”
Alper Exam explained that they will carry out studies in the future to equip the road network with this system, stressing that it is important to supply these products locally. Exam said: “Over time, these systems will not only collect information, but also send information to our systems and vehicles. In this regard, security is important. We believe it is important to make both cybersecurity infrastructure and hardware national and national,” said.
The audit found that the frequencies and algorithms used in the system components are dedicated to 4G/5G technologies and that they can develop their own solutions because they have mastered them.
Alper Exam said it has developed solutions in the area of value-added services, including finding charging stations or filling stations for vehicles, disseminating various road-related alerts and e-commerce.
Everyday life and disaster management become easier
Exam pointed out that these solutions can be used in intelligent transportation and smart cities applications within the framework of e-community, saying that opportunities such as making the lives of people with disabilities easier and saving time through smart stops are provided could.
Exam explained that it is possible to use these systems for public safety, emphasizing that a number of benefits can be achieved, such as guiding people to safe roads, especially in disaster situations, and the proper movement of goods. “We believe that making our roads smart will make it easier for us to dispatch people in case of danger,” Exam said. he said.
Alper Exam pointed out that the Turkish automobile Togg will need such technologies as it is a software-based vehicle and stated that it is ready to take responsibility in this direction.
