Capgemini 5G Smart Roadside Unit [RSU]

Capgemini 5G Roadside Unit (RSU) – delivers on the promise of 5G for smart cities and connected infrastructure Today more than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities, a figure expected to reach 70% by 2050. In response, cities are looking for ways to streamline traffic flows, reduce emissions, and improve commuter experience. For city planners, transport authorities and infrastructure operators, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) may hold the key to these initiatives. These systems require road infrastructure that supports reliable, low-latency communications between traffic monitoring cameras, sensors, vehicles and pedestrians. The Capgemini and Intel® 5G Smart Road-Side Unit (RSU) solution uses Capgemini's ENSCONCE Edge Computing Platform and cloud native architecture to transform the intelligent transportation infrastructure. By combining Capgemini’s ENSCONCE platform, the Intel® 5G FlexRAN & Capgemini’s 5G Frameworks, and leveraging the Intel® Converged Edge Reference (CERA) architecture incorporating OpenVINO™ and Smart Edge Open components, the solution enables a variety of connected infrastructure applications using a scalable, cloud-native architecture. Designed in conjunction with application developers, enterprises, operators, and device makers, the smart RSU solution enables intelligent transportation applications like traffic management, EV charging, smart lighting, and connected vehicle services. By placing computing at the network edge, the smart RSU solution reduces network latency and processing times. As the smart cities and transportation markets continue to evolve, the automotive industry is responding with use cases focused on collaboration between autonomous vehicles and cooperative infrastructure. Capgemini’s RSU enables that collaboration by combining multiple connectivities and sensor technologies to enhance pedestrian and vehicle safety based on a network edge platform. By integrating Intel® technologies like 5G FlexRAN, CERA, and Intel® Smart Edge Open, the Capgemini 5G Smart RSU solution provides a flexible, scalable platform for next-generation smart edge applications.
