According to 7207 Delphi Automotive, its new cloud-based automotive connectivity service for European consumers, Delphi Connect, provides a ground-breaking car-to-cloud/cloud-to-car connectivity service and works in most vehicles built after 1996.

To access the service, car owners simply plug the Delphi Connect module into the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port of their vehicle, which is usually located under the steering column. The service utilises a dedicated and secure cloud server to store data and provide access to certain vehicle information. Through a smartphone app or web portal, the user will have access to features including automatic vehicle health alerts, real time vehicle tracking, or remote warnings when a specified speed level is reached.

Delphi Connect will initially be launched in Germany and then rolled out in other European countries.

Andrew Williams looks at a scheme on the A14 in Cambridgeshire, UK. In recent years, portable workzone ITS solutions have emerged as important tools in the management of major roadworks and system upgrade projects - and are viewed as an increasingly vital means of ensuring any ongoing traffic flow disruption is kept to a minimum. The technology forms a central component of an

Developed to enable the prediction of delays as much as two hours before they are likely to occur, this offers the operator the scope for much earlier remedial action than previously - for example by filling in the expe

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi
