9月17日，在2018世界物联网博览会召开期间，福特汽车公司在无锡开放道路上进行了一次基于蜂窝技术的车辆联网通信（C-V2X）测试。这是福特汽车首次在中国公开演示C-V2X技术的应用场景。C-V2X是一种无线通讯技术，赋予车辆与道路基础设施、行人及其他交通参与者实时互联的能力。该技术不仅能够帮助改善车辆安全性能、提升道路交通效率，还将推动自动驾驶技术的发展。今年5月，全球第一个城市级车联网应用示范项目在无锡启动实施，福特亦参与其中。福特将通过在开放道路的测试进一步评估C-V2X的性能表现并最终将该技术应用于车辆中。通过与华为和中国移动在该项技术方面的合作，福特将采用C-V2X技术研发各类应用场景，包括基于中国道路环境和驾驶员驾驶习惯的汽车对道路系统，汽车对汽车和汽车对行人之间的通信。

 

Ford Motor tests C-V2X capable cars on public roads in China

At the World Internet of Things Exposition 2018, Ford Motor showcased its C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything) technologies for intelligent-connected vehicle (ICV) in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, the automaker announced on September 17. This is the first time that Ford Motor demonstrates its C-V2X technology in China.

 

C-V2X technology is a wireless communication solution that could make vehicles, road infrastructures, pedestrians as well as other traffic participants connect with each other using an identical information language. The technology is able to help enhance vehicle driving safety, improve the traffic efficiency and boost the development of autonomous vehicle technologies.

 

In May this year, a new conference held in Wuxi announced that Wuxi will build the world's first city-level LTE-V2X Internet of Vehicles (IoV) application demonstration area in which Ford Motor also involved. The U.S.-based automaker will further evaluate the performance of its C-V2X technology through the technical tests on public roads and eventually use it in vehicles.

 

Cooperating with such technology companies as Huawei and China Mobile, Ford Motor will employ the C-V2X technology to research and develop various application scenarios, such as V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure), V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2P (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian), based on Chinese road conditions and drivers' driving behaviors.
