Ducati developing multi-vehicle comms
Part of its safety road map policy over the next decadeHot on the heels of the anouncement that it’s started developing radar technology and extending ABS Cornering to its entire range, Ducati has continued on the safety path with a demonstration of a new vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system between motorcycles and cars.
Developed in conjunction with its owner, Audi, C-V2X (ConnectedVehicle to Everything) is a wireless communication system between road users such as cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles and infrastructure.
The demonstration featured Audi Q7 and Audi A4 road vehicles, as well as a Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro, focussing on common scenarios that can take place between motorcycles and vehicles, and how C-V2X technology can be used to help improve road safety.
These include intersection collision warnings, traffic collision warnings, and warnings of sudden braking of the leading two-wheel vehicle.
“This is the perfect demonstration of use cases in which the modern technologies can drastically improve the safety of future motorcycle users”, said Pierluigi Zampieri, Vehicle Innovation Manager at Ducati Motor Holding. “Indeed, the C-V2X communication is definitely one of the key projects of the Ducati 2025 safety road map”.
C-V2X is another key pillar of the Ducati Safety Road Map 2025.
