Safer Crossways
Reimagining Infrastructure: Open, Interoperable, and Privacy-first
Our research project, Safer Crossways using I2V, is an innovative initiative designed to advance the state of the art in traffic safety. By focusing on cost-effective and scalable solutions, we aim to drive greater adoption and enhance overall road safety.
It is a forward-thinking initiative that aims to enhance road safety by improving communication between roadside infrastructure and vehicles. It builds on the concept of intelligent intersections, which can significantly reduce accidents by providing vehicles with real-time data about signal phases, blind spots, and potential hazards.
This approach not only promises to make crossways safer for drivers but also for pedestrians and cyclists, contributing to the broader goals of traffic-safe automation and the Vision Zero initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

Interoperable Road Side Unit (RSU)
The Open-Architecture RSU
Building on the success of our feasibility study, we have launched a new project funded by Vinnova to bring our designs to life.
We are currently advancing the Safer Crossways initiative to Technology Readiness Level 4 (TRL 4). With backing from Vinnova, our team is constructing a functional prototype of an interoperable Roadside Unit (RSU) in a laboratory setting.
The core innovation of this phase is true interoperability. We are validating a system where sensors from competing manufacturers work together within a vendor-neutral architecture. This step is critical for proving that an open infrastructure can securely process safety data without compromising privacy, paving the way for real-world deployment.
