What is Edge Transportation Exchange?
Edge Transportation Exchange utilizes Verizon’s 5G, LTE, and mobile edge computing (MEC) to enable near real-time data exchange between connected vehicles and infrastructure. It serves as an ecosystem foundation for intelligent transportation use cases, currently supporting vulnerable road user alerts, weather conditions, and traffic-signal information to improve safety and efficiency. Its virtual architecture eliminates the need for expensive physical roadside units, reducing costs for transportation agencies.
