7643 Here Technologies has launched a new generation of its Real-Time Traffic service, which integrates live traffic probe data from sensors on 2125 Audi, 1731 BMW and 1685 Mercedes-Benz vehicles to provide greater accuracy and more precise information about traffic conditions.


Here Real-Time Traffic, available to current OEMs and industries covering more than 60 countries, offers improvements in traffic flow data, especially on arterial roads. For more than half of those countries, the service also provides incident information with features such as Traffic Safety Warning.

Aided by new hard-braking sensor data which Here is now processing, this feature allows more relevant and timely notifications to the vehicle and can also be used by ADAS applications.

    What future is there for automatic number plate recognition? Will it be supplanted by electronic vehicle identification, or will continuing development maintain the technology's relevance? In recent years, digitisation and IP-based communication networks have allowed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to achieve ever-greater utility and a commensurate increase in deployments. But where does the technology go next - indeed, does it have a future in the face of the increasing use of, for instance, Dedi

    Driverless cars will have a detrimental effect on congestion and security while the road safety benefits can be achieved sooner and cheaper using ADAS, argues Colin Sowman. Many Governments are consulting about the introduction of driverless vehicles and even running trials. As 70% or 80% of crashes are caused by human error, the promise of a crash-free future of driverless, self-driving or autonomous vehicles (call them what you will) is alluring, as are the claims of reduced congestion and lower emissions

Japan gave the rest of the world a taste of the cooperative infrastructure future when, in 1996, it went live with the Vehicle Information and Communication System (VICS). Designed to provide real-time traffic information and alerts to in-vehicle navigation systems with the dual aims of increasing safe
