Advanced driver assistance systems supplier 4279 Mobileye, in partnership with Atlas Financial Holdings has completed the installation of collision avoidance technology across 4,500 for-hire vehicles in New York City.

The rideshare vehicles, such as those available through popular apps including Uber and Lyft, will feature Mobileye's technology enabled by a high resolution vision sensor that analyses potential dangerous scenarios in real time, alerting drivers to impending collisions and giving them enough time to react.

The Mobileye system integrates Pointer Telocation, a developer and operator of fleet and mobile resource management solutions, allowing vehicle and fleet owners the opportunity to review the driving behaviour of its operators.

    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of

    David Crawford looks at technologies for better emergency medical service delivery. 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
