THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES FOR THE MXCARKIT
A VDI Autonomous Driving Challenge certified key component in Connected Drive Scenarios
The MX Traffic Light System was developed to be able to build and test Connected Drive scenarios in a flexible and realistic format. Therefore, immense importance was attached to the highest possible flexibility and modularity from the very beginning. The result is a connected 4-sided traffic light that is suitable for test sites on a scale of 1:8 to 1:10.
Two signal lights on opposite sides show a 3-color signal light on the one hand and a 2-color signal light on the other. This makes it possible to present almost all intersection scenarios with signal systems.
The control is done via a web application, which allows to set any display patterns. In addition, the brightness of the display can be adjusted for each traffic light color individually and according to the particular conditions.
Another highlight of the MX Traffic Light System is that the information of the current and future traffic light display can be communicated via Bluetooth. This means that the information is also available for the test vehicles and other infrastructure used. In this way, the MX Traffic Light System is the first and therefore unique system for developing and testing complex ConnectedCar scenarios. The data structure used is completely transparent and open. This allows the user flexible integration into his test environment and the development of his own extensions.
One extension available from MdynamiX is the networking of several MX Traffic Light Systems. This also allows complex road scenarios to be realized that relate several intersections to each other.
Flexible use of the MX Traffic Light System also includes the longest possible operating time without recharging the built-in battery.To achieve this, a powerful rechargeable battery and energy-efficient electronics were selected.This combination allows an average operating time of approx. 10 hours.The charging process can be carried out using a standard smartphone charger or power pack.The MX Traffic Light System can be used to its full extent during the charging process.
