# Towards Zero: Creating Safer Roads With C-V2x  ## About - Author: ericsson.com - Title: Towards Zero: Creating Safer Roads With C-V2x - Tags: #articles - URL: https://www.ericsson.com/en/cases/2020/cellular-v2x-creating-safer-roads ## Highlights The use cases require near-immediate response times in order to increase safety outcomes on the road. Ericsson’s C-V2X technology was utilized in conjunction with an optimized version of the 4G network designed by Telstra to meet these low latency requirements. A high-performance quality of service (QoS) link was created within Telstra’s 4G network, giving C-V2X communications low latency and high priority. During these trials, we were able to demonstrate end-to-end latency (i.e. the full journey of data from the vehicle, through the C-V2X platform and back to the vehicle) of less than 50ms in 95 percent of trials in a test area based on Telstra’s public 4G network. - Note: Cool stuff! It would be great to join Telstra doing these sorts of tests --- These trials have exciting potential to make a real impact on our roads, and soon, because they leverage a network that is already in place. Many connected vehicle use cases have, up until now, been envisaged to use short-range communications that require the presence of roadside units (RSUs). Telstra’s 4G network already covers 99.6 percent of the Australian population, meaning that there is no need to deploy additional infrastructure to roll out this technology countrywide. The impact of these “virtual RSUs” is huge, as the deployment of any solution over an existing network has cost, scalability and time-to-market advantages that can’t be matched. - Note: The idea of 'virtual RSU's' is very cool ---
