Infotainment and safety solutions provider 7207 Delphi Automotive is to debut its MyFi connecting with safety concept car at the IAA Frankfurt show, which the company says is unique in that it connects infotainment with active safety.

By locating important information in the driver’s forward view, MyFi uses voice recognition, text-to-speech, large touch screens, reconfigurable displays and workload management technologies to tailor information to the driver depending on the driving environment. When linked with data from vehicle’s safety sensors, MyFi can provide alerts to redirect the driver’s attention to the road when unsafe conditions are detected, such as heavy construction, extreme weather or traffic.

“MyFi is the type of solution consumers demand and need because it allows the driver to safely use a host of highly-innovative infotainment features without compromising the experience,” said Pietro Ottavis, vice president, Delphi Infotainment and Driver Interface.

For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

Emergency medical services (EMS) play key roles in transporting, or bringing treatment to, patients who become ill through medical emergencies or are injured in road traffic accidents (RTAs). But awareness has been rising steadily, in the US and elsewhere, of the extent to which EMS can generate their own emergencies. The most common cause is vehicles causing or becoming involved in RTAs, as a result of driving fast under pr

    Although urban traffic control and parking management are inextricably linked in so many ways, there remain fundamental differences which undermine closer integration. Car parking guidance systems can have a significant, positive impact on congestion in town and city centres, however conflicting business models still stand in the way of the more profound integration of car parking management and Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems.
