A device that uses WLANp technology and has been installed on a street section in which ten consecutive traffic lights will transmit their phases to vehicles connected with Car2x technology. The goal is for the driver to know if the successive traffic lights are green and thus anticipate future decisions. With this system you could avoid unnecessary braking or acceleration.
