Varon Selects Software Partner for Its Urban Air Mobility Network
Real-Time Innovations is to support Varon Vehicles' plans to develop UAM networks by providing its Connext data distribution software to connect vehicles and supporting infrastructure.
Software group Real-Time Innovations (RTI) is to supply its Connext data distribution service (DDS) to provide the software connectivity framework needed for Varon Vehicles’ planned Traffic Management System (TMS) to support urban air mobility (UAM) operations. Varon intends to develop infrastructure networks consisting of connected vertiports, eVTOL vehicles, and the “aerial lanes” along which these will fly.
California-based RTI has already developed DDS networks to support more than 250 autonomous vehicle operations in environments such as power plants and hospitals. The software provides secure vehicle-to-vehicle communications, as well as connecting vehicles to infrastructure, communicating operational intelligence in milliseconds.
