DOVER, N.H. - Smart vehicles and driverless cars are filled with state-of-the-art technology to prevent collisions and keep cars in their lanes. One New Hampshire city is taking this to the next level, developing a system so those cars can talk to traffic lights. 

Much of the work on these traffic lights in Dover, NH is being done by students from the University of New Hampshire.

UNH is teaming up with a private partner and the City of Dover to test traffic lights that are capable of communicating wirelessly with cars. Researchers say the technology paves the way for safer autonomous vehicles.

On March 24, 2018 Connectivity Research Center hosted the 2nd Annual Smart Gadget Competition.  This years competition challenged students to solve a problem on the UNH campus using sensors built with LoRaWAN as the wireless technology.  Sponsors of the event included Multitech, Senet and ThingsSpeak.

Taking UNH research and ideas to the next level.
