Success at the Car 2 Car Communication Forum in Ludwigsburg

Intelligent Mobility in Action

On November 11–12, we proudly participated in the Car 2 Car Communication Forum – a prestigious conference that is one of the most important events in the field of intelligent vehicles and cooperative transport systems. The event in Ludwigsburg, Germany, attracted experts, city representatives, researchers, and companies focused on smart mobility.

Car 2 Car Communication Forum: A Platform for the Future of Mobility

The Car 2 Car Forum is organized by the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium, a European association of automakers, suppliers, and research institutions, which aims to standardize and develop C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems). The consortium’s goal is to contribute to the “Vision Zero” concept – safe traffic with zero accidents – while also promoting efficiency, comfort, and environmental sustainability in mobility through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.
The forum program combines strategic plenary sessions, technical workshops, and reports from the consortium’s working groups. It also includes demonstration drives and showcases of innovative solutions, allowing participants to see technologies in real-world operation, not just in the lab.

Practical Demonstration: V2X Technology in Public Transport

One of the highlights of our program was a demonstration ride of a city bus equipped with our V2X units (OBU), delivered in cooperation with CROSS. We showcased how an intelligent vehicle communicates with traffic lights and gains priority at intersections, improving the flow and reliability of public transport.
We implemented the technology in collaboration with Swarco within the city of Ludwigsburg. The operator LVL Jäger runs vehicles with our units, while Swarco provides the system components integrated into the urban infrastructure (RSU units). The result is a fully functional communication system that delivers real improvements in daily operations.

A Demonstration that Impressed Experts and City Representatives

Participants were able to see firsthand how the bus sends data and how traffic lights dynamically respond. The system enables faster transit for public transport vehicles, shorter waiting times, and greater reliability.
The demonstration was flawlessly supported by presentation technologies from Vector Informatik, allowing smooth and engaging data visualization. The entire presentation attracted great interest from both industry experts and city representatives because it demonstrated real-world operation rather than a laboratory simulation.

Benefits for Smart Cities and the Future of Urban Transport

Our participation in the Car 2 Car Forum confirms that the technologies we are working on have a direct impact on the efficiency, comfort, and sustainability of public transport. They are fully ready for deployment in smart cities not only in Germany but also in other European cities seeking to modernize their transport systems and improve citizen mobility.

Conclusion

The Car 2 Car Communication Forum in Ludwigsburg provided us not only with a prestigious platform but also with practical proof that intelligent vehicles and cooperative systems work and improve cities. V2X technology can bring tangible improvements to mobility – and our journey toward the future of smart transport continues.

If you want, I can also polish it into a more dynamic, marketing-style version suitable for press releases or LinkedIn. It would read even more fluently to an international audience. Do you want me to do that?
