V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure)

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) refers to the communication between vehicles and road systems, such as traffic lights, signs, and other infrastructure. This technology enables vehicles to receive real-time information about road conditions, traffic signals, and nearby hazards, enhancing safety and traffic efficiency. For example, a car might receive alerts about a red light ahead or upcoming road construction. By facilitating this exchange of information, V2I supports smarter transportation systems, helping reduce congestion and improve overall driving experiences. It's a key component of the broader movement towards smarter cities and connected vehicles.
