Empowering connected vehicle integration for a smarter transportation future.


  • Kinetic CV enables real-time monitoring of connected vehicle RSUs
  • Currently deployed in Coachella Valley as part of the CV Sync project
  • Latest module in Q-Free’s Kinetic Mobility platform, a modular system that allows agencies to configure the exact solution they need

Q-Free, a global leader in mobility solutions for smart city infrastructure, today announced the latest module of the company’s Kinetic® Mobility comprehensive advanced traffic management system: Kinetic CV. The new module, which allows users to monitor the status of roadside devices for connected vehicles natively in their ATMS, was recently deployed in California’s Coachella Valley.

Kinetic CV monitors the status of connected vehicle roadside units (RSUs) in real-time. The module empowers transportation agencies to optimize traffic management by providing insights into the operational status of RSUs. This enables users to proactively address maintenance needs, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of connected vehicle systems. Kinetic CV is a significant achievement, bringing connected vehicle management into a single unified ATMS platform suitable for monitoring all an agency’s ITS, traffic signals, and connected vehicle infrastructure.

This innovative solution is currently being deployed in the Coachella Valley as part of the highly watched CV Sync project. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) is actively integrating connected vehicle technologies to pilot the future of transportation. Kinetic CV will be added to CVAG’s existing innovative Center-to-Cetner (C2C) deployment of Kinetic Signals and Kinetic Signs, further enhancing the region’s capabilities in managing connected vehicle technology.

“We are thrilled to introduce Kinetic CV and its initial deployment as part of the prestigious CV Sync project, marking a key step toward safer, smarter, and more connected transportation ecosystem,” said Whitney Nottage, EVP of Traffic Management at Q-Free. “This is just the beginning, with more powerful features planned as we continue to drive the future of transportation. .”

This advancement supports CVAG’s commitment to improving traffic flow and safety while promoting sustainable and innovative transportation solutions across the region.
