LG Electronics demonstrated its integrated cooperative safety platform at the 2026 Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress in Gangneung, South Korea. The five-day gathering brought together government officials and industry experts under the theme of connected mobility.
Live Demonstrations on Public Roads
During the event, the company conducted live road tests from October 20 to 22. The system used test vehicles equipped with telematics hardware alongside mobile applications designed for pedestrians.
As a result, the tests verified how connected vehicles detect approaching cyclists and identify pedestrians at obstructed intersections before they enter a driver’s line of sight.
Technical Architecture of the Cooperative Safety Platform
The system combines direct vehicle-to-everything communications with cloud-based vehicle-to-network connectivity. This Soft V2X-based cooperative safety platform links vehicles, road infrastructure, and mobile users into a single communication channel.
Furthermore, the setup uses predictive quality of service controls to coordinate data transmission through specialized servers built on standards from the 5G Automotive Association. Such telecommunications standards help maintain network reliability during safety-critical events.
Industry Collaboration and Standards Alignment
LG Electronics joined Toyota and regional transport associations to address road safety objectives during a joint industry session. The participants published a declaration urging broader cooperation to develop shared technical standards.
Specifically, the cooperative safety platform meets testing scenarios outlined by the European New Car Assessment Programme. By combining direct vehicle messaging with mobile network coverage, the architecture supports automated driving and over-the-air software updates.
“Reducing traffic accidents requires more than improving the safety performance of individual vehicles. By connecting vehicles, people, infrastructure and networks through cooperative safety technologies, LG aims to help build a safer mobility ecosystem and contribute to the realization of a Zero-Accident Society.”
Lee Sang-yong, Head of the VS R&D Laboratory at LG Vehicle Solution Company
Future Applications in Connected Mobility
In technical panel discussions with the Korea Electronics Technology Institute and Sungkyunkwan University, engineers evaluated steps required for international commercialization. Discussions focused on hybrid communication architectures that maintain link continuity when line-of-sight signals encounter physical obstacles.
Consequently, the company plans to introduce expanded vehicle-to-network applications for international automakers. These services combine road data with cloud processing to help municipal transportation networks coordinate traffic safety more effectively.
