This application provides access to official V2X event data from the system installed on the Pojate - Vrnjačka Banja highway (part of the Morava Corridor), intended for drivers whose vehicles do not support the TIS-G5 radio protocol. Full functionality is available via Apple CarPlay. When connected to CarPlay, the app provides real-time audio and visual alerts when entering an active event zone. Audio notifications are also delivered while the app is running in the background, ensuring continuous awareness during driving. The iPhone app serves as an entry point to start CarPlay mode and provide basic information about usage. In addition to CarPlay, the app can also be used directly on the iPhone, displaying all active events on an interactive map.
