Magna Partners with Michigan DOT and 3M on vehicle connectivity

US automotive supplier 5026 Magna is lending its camera and secure connectivity expertise to a joint project with the 1688 Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and 4080 3M.

The project is the nation’s first vehicle-to-infrastructure connected work zone and will be constructed along a three-mile section of I-75 in Oakland County, Michigan. Findings from the project are expected to play an integral role in optimising vehicle connectivity infrastructure on construction-related roadways going forward. 

Over the next several years, Magna will continue to work with MDOT and 3M to provide advice on connectivity and infrared camera technology. Magna engineers and developers will help interpret the data and make continuous improvements to improve the technology.
