VTT solution develops compact devices

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new manufacturing technology for the integration of very high-frequency terahertz systems to enable cost-effective development of telecommunications and imaging solutions and space instruments that are even smaller and have higher frequencies. It can be used in telecommunications applications, where radio links built in frequency bands of one hundred gigahertz enable wireless data transfer, and is also aimed at benefitting imaging solutions operating

814 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new manufacturing technology for the integration of very high-frequency terahertz systems to enable cost-effective development of telecommunications and imaging solutions and space instruments that are even smaller and have higher frequencies.

It can be used in telecommunications applications, where radio links built in frequency bands of one hundred gigahertz enable wireless data transfer, and is also aimed at benefitting imaging solutions operating at terahertz frequencies such as security cameras that can even reveal bladed objects under clothing. The technology is also suitable for the manufacturing of increasingly smaller remote mapping devices used in satellites in space.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    PANDHUB, a three-year international project coordinated by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, is developing ways of reducing the risk of pandemics and managing other high-threat pathogen incidents in transport hubs. The objective of the project is to assess threats, to forecast and to model and develop preparedness and ways to limit the spread of serious high-threat infections in transport hubs, such as airports and underground and train stations. The project also involves testing and developing
