Hyundai Mobis and Hyundai Motor also collaborated in the development of the system, for which five individual patents are said to have been secured by Hyundai Group.

With the system, data can be sent through the WAVE telecom technology via message signs on roads or directly to cars, while information from weather reports, vehicle sensors and related road infrastructure are gathered to offer notifications regarding traffic congestion and road conditions. The Hyundai E&C system is being earmarked for the Yeongdong Expressway, which is being built to link the cities of Wonju (in North Central South Korea, 140km east of Seoul) and Gwangju in the South West of the country. The highway is scheduled to open at the end of 2016.
