Nissan to begin second-phase intelligent transport system testing

Nissan says it is about to begin the next test-phase of its intelligent transportation system (ITS) project, employing vehicle-to-infrastructure communication that allows synchronised communication between vehicles and traffic light signals. Nissan will invest in the installation of an advanced traffic signal infrastructure within the site of the Nissan Technical Center in Japan, to collect real-world vehicle data from several hundred employee cars participating in the project.

The new advanced traffic system is expected to help reduce accidents as well as ease traffic congestion – specifically at traffic light intersections – leading to improved on-the-road fuel consumption.
