Five cars of Honda participated in a program aimed to develop the intelligent traffic systems to ensure safety and reduce overcrowding on the roads. Program called Communications Cars-is the last step in the direction of a special road space between the Netherlands, Germany and Austria. In accordance with the agreement signed by the three countries in 2013, the ultimate goal is to create a fully integrated intelligent traffic control systems using the latest technology, bringing together transport and infrastructure. Five specially equipped Civic Tourer and CR-V began their road in Munich on November 11, they passed through Vienna and Frankfurt finishing at Hèlmonde, where the Prime Minister of the Netherlands and the representatives of rival companies and automotive groups summed up and discussed the further initiatives. Direct link with other vehicles and infrastructure enables you to warn the drivers about the various threats and road conditions, traffic jams and repair works, as well as to call emergency services. In addition, the new technology is able to detect traffic light cycles, and inform about the optimal mode of the motion. Development of intelligent transport systems will ensure the safety and efficiency of traffic.
