Audi of America and partners Applied Information, Blue Bird, Fulton Co. School System, City of Alpharetta, and Temple, Inc., have completed a cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) connected school zone and buses technology initial deployment (earlier post). With the collaboration beginning in 2020, the deployment leveraged C-V2X solutions provided by Qualcomm Technologies.
Audi has been making significant strides in the way of autonomous vehicle technology, and their latest project is no different. The automaker is currently testing a system that can recognize school zones in order to make them safer for children and pedestrians alike.
Audi of America has partnered with Qualcomm Technologies, Commsignia, Applied Information, Blue Bird, the Fulton County School System, the city of Alpharetta, Georgia, and Temple, Inc. on this school-zone focused Cellular Vehicle-To-Everything (C-V2X) technology, which uses cellular signals to allow vehicles to communicate with the surrounding vehicles and infrastructure.
The way it works is as follows: an Audi E-Tron Sportback and a propane-powered Blue Bird school bus are both equipped with the C-V2X system. This system communicates with the Roadside Unit (RSU) found in the school zone speed limit sign, and subsequently alerts the Audi’s driver of the zone’s presence with visual and audible warnings to slow down.

Audi testing bus, school zone vehicle-to-infrastructure system Autoblog 1 hr ago Joel Stocksdale
Audi has been a leader in developing vehicle-to-infrastructure technology, with some production Audis capable of receiving information from properly equipped traffic lights about timing. The company is continuing development in these areas, referred to as vehicle-to-everything (V2X), with a system in Georgia that will provide advanced alerts about active school zones and stopped school buses.

The automaker is one of a few companies testing the system, the others including Qualcomm, Commsignia, Applied Information, Blue Bird, Alpharetta, Georgia, and the Fulton County School District. The idea is really simple. School zone signs and school bus stop signs are fitted with transmitters that send out signals stating that they re in effect: either the school zone, or the bus being stopped. The signals are sent over 4G LTE and 5G cellular networks on a sp
