roadside unit (RSU)

For the first time, a Verdegro Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) has been equipped with a Roadside Unit (RSU), developed by our technology partner Consider Innovation.  

Deployed for our customer Havelland Autobahn in Germany, this marks an important step towards smarter and safer road infrastructure 💪  

Bringing roadside intelligence directly into the vehicle

The RSU enables the TMA to communicate directly with nearby connected vehicles using In-Vehicle Information (IVI) messages. This means drivers can receive real-time warnings and traffic information directly on their vehicle’s dashboard or infotainment system. 

What kind of information can drivers receive? 

  • 🚧 Roadworks ahead 
  • ↔️ Lane closures 
  • ⚠️ Temporary speed restrictions 
  • 🚛 Maintenance vehicles operating on or near the carriageway 
  • 🚦 Traffic management measures and changing road conditions 

Traditional warning methods, such as road signs and light arrows, remain essential. However, C-ITS technology adds another layer of communication by transmitting critical safety information directly to approaching vehicles. This gives drivers more time to react, reduce speed and safely change lanes when necessary.  

What is C-ITS?

Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) allow vehicles and road infrastructure to exchange information in real time. Using short-range communication, the RSU installed on our TMA broadcasts safety messages to nearby connected vehicles, improving driver awareness and helping enhance both road safety and traffic flow.  

Taking another step towards safer work zones

By combining Verdegro’s proven TMA solutions with the innovative C-ITS technology of Consider Innovations, we are helping bring roadside safety to the next level.  

A great example of how connected technology and intelligent infrastructure can work together to protect both road users and road workers.  

Smarter connections, safer roads 🤝
