Roadside Unit (RSU)
A communication device installed along roads to connect vehicles with networks and infrastructure.
RSUs are fixed transceivers that support vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. They relay data such as traffic status, hazard warnings, and environmental information. RSUs use protocols like DSRC or 5G-V2X. They play a key role in enabling cooperative driving, automated traffic control, and safety applications. As connected vehicle networks expand, RSUs become part of the digital highway backbone.
