QTH: I-70 Eastbound – St. Patrick’s Day – Just west of Dowd Junction and the Vail Exits.
Just a standard I-70 overhead road sign and associated WebCam…HOWEVER there is a newly installed Antenna…for CDOT/Panasonic’s new V2X prototype system.
This is a CDOT/Panasonic Prototype System vehicle-to-everything V2X technology. Purportedly for Traffic Safety reasons. This new radio system is designed for 2-Way communication between Vehicle and CDOT broadcast safety notifications. In the future…likely use for driverless vehicle’s if/when that ever comes to pass on our Interstate roads.
To learn more about this Prototype (Click On) the CDOT News graphic below.
Special Thanks to young Matt – K0LWC who was the first to “ID” this new Radio system!
