SolidRun Expands Its Role in Global V2X Infrastructure with Advanced Edge Solutions

SolidRun Expands Its Role in V2X Infrastructure

As the automotive sector shifts towards automation and intelligent transportation systems, SolidRun is making significant strides in the realm of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology. The Israeli company, well-known for its high-performance System on Module (SoM) solutions and edge computing platforms, recently unveiled its growing influence in the worldwide V2X infrastructure landscape through a strategic partnership with the German firm, consider it GmbH, the entity behind the CiT – Communication in Traffic brand.

A Strategic Partnership in V2X Development

With the transportation landscape rapidly evolving, it is crucial for tech companies to provide effective solutions that enhance communication between vehicles, road users, and infrastructure. SolidRun’s collaboration with CiT aims to deliver cutting-edge V2X products designed to facilitate seamless communication. This partnership has integrated SolidRun’s renowned i.MX 8XLite System on Module into CiT’s new offerings—the CiT One Onboard Unit (OBU) and the CiT One Roadside Unit (RSU).

These two solutions are engineered specifically for intelligent transportation systems, enabling functionalities across various scenarios, including public transit management, emergency vehicle prioritization, and autonomous driving applications.

Foundations of Smart Infrastructure

Dr. Atai Ziv, CEO of SolidRun, highlighted the mission of their organization: “Our goal is to deliver foundational computing technology that empowers the development of smart infrastructure and connected mobility.” By leveraging innovative V2X products from CiT, municipalities and mobility providers can deploy intelligent systems aimed at reducing traffic congestion, bolstering safety measures, and setting cities on a sustainable path toward an autonomous future.

The i.MX 8XLite SoM platform stands out due to its real-time processing capabilities in environments where safety is paramount. It features integrated functionalities such as CAN bus and automotive Ethernet, providing V2X developers with a reliable base to prototype and develop connected vehicle solutions. The Arm Cortex A35 processors enhance the platform's performance, allowing for synchronization and low-latency communication, vital in applications requiring immediate response times.

Features of CiT’s V2X Solutions

Encapsulated within SolidRun’s power-efficient and robust i.MX 8XLite SoM, the CiT One Roadside Unit and OBU are built for real-time data processing and secure V2X communication, utilizing technologies like DSRC/802.11p along with advanced connectivity options, including LTE, GNSS, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi. Both solutions are meticulously designed to withstand the environmental and operational challenges faced in roadside deployments and vehicle installations.

The CiT One RSU acts as a rugged, mountable roadside unit that facilitates communication from infrastructure to vehicles (I2V), making it ideal for deployment in busy intersections, traffic control points, and along transit corridors. The CiT One OBU, intended for installation in vehicles, supports vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, promoting safer and more efficient vehicle operations for fleets, public safety services, and autonomous driving scenarios.

Implementing Smart Mobility Initiatives

Both the CiT One RSU and OBU are actively being integrated into smart city projects and initiatives focused on connected transportation across Europe. Leutrim Mustafa, Head of consider innovation, remarked on the collaboration's impact: “SolidRun’s platform has equipped us with the performance, security, modular flexibility, and long-term support needed to realize our vision for the CiT One product line.” Their combined efforts aim to accelerate the rollout of V2X-ready infrastructure that enhances safety and efficiency within urban environments and for vehicle manufacturers alike.

In summary, with SolidRun at the forefront of V2X infrastructure development, the company is poised to redefine how intelligent transportation systems operate, paving the way for smarter cities and safer roadways. This collaboration not only underscores SolidRun’s technical superiority but also highlights the growing importance of connectivity in our increasingly automated world, setting new standards for the transportation industry.
