Miovision and HARMAN Collaboration to Drive the Future of Intelligent Mobility

By: via GlobeNewswire

ATLANTA, Aug. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ITS World Congress -- Miovision, a leader in intelligent mobility, and HARMAN, an automotive technology leader and subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., have announced a collaboration that will bring predictive traffic light-based insights to connected vehicles, enabling safer driving decisions. By the end of 2025, they expect to be communicating with traffic lights at 100,000 intersections in major cities and economic centers across North America and Europe, with the intention of doubling that number by 2026.

This partnership, announced at ITS World Congress, aims to create safer, more efficient, and sustainable urban environments by combining HARMAN's Ready Aware, cloud-native, vehicle-to-network (V2N) SaaS solution with Miovision's AI-powered traffic signal prediction. Ready Aware offers intersection-level situational awareness to drivers for safer and more informed driving decisions on the road. With exclusive access to Miovision’s expansive and growing traffic signal data network, HARMAN will offer one of the industry’s most intelligent vehicle-to-cloud digital alerting systems, ready for deployment in both current and future production vehicles.

“HARMAN Ready Aware offers a unique in-vehicle experience by leveraging insights from surrounding traffic lights to deliver digital alerts that help drivers make more informed decisions and navigate connected corridors and intersections safely,” said Suman Sehra, Global Vice President, Connectivity Portfolio Management, at HARMAN. “This exclusive partnership with Miovision will see its real-time traffic signal data integrated into HARMAN Ready Aware, making it easier than ever for automakers to deliver a scalable, contextually aware in-vehicle driving experience.”

“This collaboration brings the intelligence of city infrastructure directly into the driver’s seat. By knowing how traffic lights will behave ahead, drivers gain greater confidence to make safer, smoother decisions—avoiding unnecessary stops that waste time and fuel. Together with HARMAN, we’re helping automakers deliver a connected experience that improves safety, efficiency, and sustainability where it matters most: on the road," said Thomas Bauer, Vice President of V2X Sales at Miovision

Key benefits of the integrated solution:

  • Enhanced Traffic Flow: Real-time data and AI-driven prediction enable smoother driving through traffic signals, reducing congestion and travel times.
  • Accelerated Time to Market: V2N architecture enables vehicles and infrastructure to communicate over the cloud without the need for additional in-vehicle hardware, accelerating time to market.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Cities gain access to rich data analytics, allowing them to make informed decisions about infrastructure investments and urban planning.
  • Sustainability: Optimized traffic flow leads to reduced idling times and lower emissions, contributing to greener cities.
  • Scalability: The modular nature of the combined technologies ensures that solutions can be tailored to the specific needs of cities, regardless of size, from pilot programs to large-scale deployments.

Miovision is a sponsor of this year's ITS Summit and Plenary 2 Session. The company will be giving in-vehicle demonstrations of the Miovision Connected Vehicle and VRU Alert. Also, in collaboration with HARMAN Automotive at Booth 1017, Miovision will showcase how to help navigate intersections and support safe driving experiences with HARMAN Ready Aware, a new vehicle-to-network (V2N) based SaaS solution delivering contextual and intelligent alerts like time to green and red-light assist.

By the end of 2025, HARMAN and Miovision expect to be communicating with traffic lights at 100,000 intersections in major cities and economic centers across North America and Europe, intending to double that number by 2026. This widespread data will contribute to making mobility safer, smarter, and more sustainable for all.
