SolidRun and CiT Deploy New V2X Edge Platforms for Smart Mobility Infrastructure

As the V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) ecosystem scales globally, the demand for reliable, low-latency edge computing platforms has never been greater. SolidRun, a leading provider of embedded computing solutions, is addressing this demand by expanding the deployment of its i.MX 8XLite System on Module (SoM) through a new collaboration with German technology company consider it GmbH, the developer behind CiT – Communication in Traffic.

This partnership integrates SolidRun’s embedded computing technology into CiT’s newly launched CiT One OBU (Onboard Unit) and CiT One RSU (Roadside Unit), two modular and production-ready V2X platforms designed to support a wide range of connected vehicle and smart city applications.

Proven Hardware for Real-Time V2X Communication

At the heart of both the CiT One OBU and RSU is SolidRun’s i.MX 8XLite SoM, an automotive-grade module optimized for edge processing in time-sensitive environments. The SoM includes:

Arm Cortex-A35 cores for efficient multi-core processing

Integrated automotive interfaces, including CAN-FD and automotive Ethernet

Expansion headers and GPIOs for sensor and system integration

Support for DSRC/802.11p V2X stacks and secure communications

The i.MX 8XLite SoM is engineered for applications where deterministic behavior and reliable communication are critical, making it well-suited for roadside infrastructure, in-vehicle systems, and safety-critical V2X environments.

Scalable Infrastructure: CiT One RSU and OBU

The CiT One RSU is a ruggedized, pole-mountable roadside unit built to manage infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communications. It is ideal for smart intersections, transit signal prioritization, and data-driven traffic management.

The CiT One OBU is designed for in-vehicle deployment and supports both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. Its robust communication stack enables integration with public safety vehicles, fleet systems, autonomous vehicles, and public transit.

Both platforms feature:

Real-time edge processing for localized decision-making

Multi-protocol communication, including DSRC (802.11p), LTE, GNSS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0

Industrial-grade thermal and environmental tolerance

Remote management and OTA update support

These systems are purpose-built for municipal transportation departments, infrastructure contractors, and automotive OEMs deploying next-generation connected vehicle systems.

Real-World Deployment

CiT’s V2X solutions are already in active deployment across multiple smart mobility initiatives throughout Europe and beyond. The modular architecture and edge-based intelligence of these systems enable cities to rapidly deploy infrastructure for use cases including:

Emergency vehicle prioritization

Transit vehicle coordination

Pedestrian and vulnerable road user (VRU) alerts

Data collection for adaptive traffic control

Communication gateways for autonomous vehicle testbeds

The Next Step Toward Intelligent Mobility

With the integration of SolidRun’s edge computing modules, CiT’s V2X platforms represent a scalable foundation for connected vehicle systems that are reliable, standards-compliant, and future-proof. For engineers and developers working on V2X deployments, these platforms offer a complete hardware and software-ready starting point that reduces time-to-deployment and simplifies system integration.
