LG Electronics Targets Traffic Safety Solutions Market With Mobility Technology to Prevent Accidents
TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
LG Electronics will participate in the 2026 ITS World Congress on the 19th and demonstrate an integrated traffic safety solution combining V2X and V2N through real-world road driving.
V2X is a technology for direct information exchange between vehicles and surrounding objects, while V2N uses mobile communications networks to connect vehicles to network and cloud servers.
LG Electronics said it will use V2X and V2N information together within the RSU communication range and provide hazard information through V2N in areas where direct communication is difficult.
LG Electronics is advancing V2X, a future mobility technology aimed at preventing traffic accidents, as it seeks to tap the global traffic safety solutions market.
LG Electronics will take part in the 2026 ITS World Congress on the opening day of the event, the 19th. The company said it will demonstrate an integrated traffic safety solution combining V2X and V2N through real-world road driving.
V2X is a technology that enables direct information exchange between a vehicle and surrounding objects such as other vehicles and road infrastructure. It allows information to be sent and received quickly between vehicles and infrastructure-specific communication devices without going through a separate communications network.
V2N is a technology that uses mobile communications networks to connect vehicles to network and cloud servers. It can deliver information across a wide area. The information provided by V2N includes disabled vehicles, construction zones, weather, and traffic signals.
LG Electronics said it has proposed a structure that simultaneously applies V2X and V2N to complement V2X's fast responsiveness with V2N's broader service coverage. It said roadside units (RSU, Roadside Unit) are installed along roadsides, traffic lights, and utility poles, and serve to send and receive information directly with vehicles.
LG Electronics said that within the RSU communication range, it uses information collected through both V2X and V2N. In areas where direct communication is difficult, it provides hazard information through V2N based on mobile communications networks.
The company said this approach enables it to continuously identify surrounding hazards to vehicles regardless of changes in the communications environment. It added that information secured through the two communication methods complements one another, allowing it to quickly provide drivers with more reliable information.
LG Electronics said the traffic safety solution it unveiled meets Euro NCAP's top-rating criteria. It also said the solution contributes to automakers' responses to strengthening safety evaluation standards and helps advance safety features through software as well as the transition to SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle).
Lee Sang-yong, vice president and head of LG Electronics' VS Research Center, described V2X as a technology that organically connects vehicles, road infrastructure, and networks, and said the company aims to continue advancing the technology to build a safer future mobility ecosystem.
