1) Peek has developed an end-to-end cooperative ITS platform that uses standardized 802.11p communication to allow vehicles and roadside equipment to communicate. 2) The platform supports priority services for logistics, emergency services, and public transport through conditional priority at intersections and continuous driver feedback. 3) The platform is future proof through its support of multiple applications running simultaneously and interoperability ensured by ETSI standards compliance. It provides benefits like improved safety, reduced emissions and travel times.
