The on-board unit for connected mobility
OBU C-ITS is a smart device to be installed on a vehicle to enable V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) two-way communication: it dialogs with other vehicles (V2V), road infrastructure (V2I) and even the devices of vulnerable pedestrians and users (V2P).
This technology makes vehicles active parts of a cooperative transport system to improve road safety and mobility efficiency, and pave the way for autonomous driving.
Robust and versatile, OBU C-ITS is an automotive control unit designed to withstand vibrations, electromagnetic noise and harsh environmental conditions to ensure reliability even in the most complex scenarios.

Applications
OBU C-ITS is the ideal solution to transform vehicles into active nodes of the intelligent road network.
It can be applied in urban, extra-urban and highway contexts to enable services such as:
- public transport tracking and fleet management;
- traffic light and green wave priority for collective transport;
- real-time warnings of construction sites, vehicles in trouble or dangerous situations;
- road condition monitoring and traffic management support.
With radio coverage of up to 1 km, OBU C-ITS guarantees communication continuity, even in complex contexts such as tunnels, critical intersections and high-density urban areas, thus helping to improve the safety and efficiency of cooperative mobility.
