Vehicle Roadside Unit (RSU)

A Vehicle Roadside Unit (RSU) is an electronic device installed along roads that communicates wirelessly with vehicles and infrastructure. It collects and transmits data related to traffic, road conditions, and safety messages to enhance navigation and reduce accidents. Think of it as a smart assistant for vehicles, helping to manage traffic flow, inform drivers of hazards, and support emerging technologies like connected and autonomous vehicles. RSUs are key components in intelligent transportation systems, working behind the scenes to make travel safer, smoother, and more efficient.
