What is DGT 3.0?

DGT 3.0 is a connected mobility platform developed by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT ) to improve road safety and optimize the flow of information on the road. Its goal is to create an intelligent ecosystem where vehicles, signaling devices, and traffic systems share data in real time , enabling better incident management and alerting drivers to potential road hazards.

Thanks to IoT technology , the DGT 3.0 facilitates anonymous communication between different traffic actors, such as connected V16 beacons, smart vehicles, mobility applications and roadside information panels .

How does DGT 3.0 work?

When a vehicle is involved in an accident and a connected V16 beacon , such as the HERO DRIVER LED , is activated, it automatically sends its location to the DGT 3.0 platform . Here's how:

1. The driver activates the V16 HERO DRIVER LED beacon without having to leave the vehicle.
2. The exact location of the incident is automatically sent to the DGT 3.0 via Vodafone's IoT network.
3. The information is processed in real time , allowing traffic authorities to be aware of the incident and manage assistance.
4. Other drivers are alerted through roadside displays, mobile apps, and navigation systems, reducing the risk of collisions.

This system allows for a faster response from emergency services and improves road safety by avoiding dangerous situations for other drivers.

Privacy guaranteed: the connection is 100% anonymous

One of the most important aspects of the DGT 3.0 system is that the sending of geolocation data is completely anonymous and does not identify the driver or the vehicle .

The platform does not store personal data or license plates; it only transmits the location of the emergency point , and does so punctually and without traceability. This measure has been expressly designed to guarantee user privacy and comply with current data protection legislation.

Both the DGT and the connectivity operators have confirmed that no individual tracking is carried out , and that the sole purpose of the connection is to improve road safety by providing real-time information on road hazards.

How do I know if a V16 light is connected to the DGT 3.0?

To ensure that a V16 beacon is approved to connect to the DGT 3.0 , you must verify that:

✔ It has official certification of approval.
✔ Includes IoT connectivity , allowing the location to be sent automatically.
✔ No manual intervention from the driver is required to share the location with the DGT.

The V16 HERO DRIVER LED beacon meets all these requirements , ensuring safe and efficient integration with Spain's intelligent traffic system .

Why choose the V16 HERO DRIVER LED beacon with DGT 3.0 connection?
