Joint project with Mr. Lee, Wei-Hsun, a professor at National Cheng Kung University focuses on the smart city traffic service.

By deploying 21 V2X-enabled RSU, 9 E-buses, and 10 ambulances in Tainan city, we can see the result is fascinating. For the bus, the traveling time dropped by 13%, of which the stop at signal dropped by 29%. The possibility of the ambulance stopping at red light reduces by 51.6%, leading to an average of 37seconds less for each intersection and 111seconds less for each dispatching waiting time, giving the professionals enough time to save lives.

“With real-time traffic control adjustment, the ambulance can keep the green light to avoid the risk from sideways vehicles and greatly guarantee the safety of ambulance vehicles passing through the intersection.”

The journey for saving lives will have a significant change from now on, and risk no more with red lights.
