295 Navteq has released its new Map and Positioning Engine (MPE) Development Platform, a complete evaluation toolkit to accelerate the development of map-enhanced fuel efficiency and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications that are linked through the vehicle CAN bus or even embedded in another sensor or electronic control unit.

The platform demonstrates the concept of an embedded ADAS map and electronic horizon in the vehicle to serve numerous applications ranging from driver assistance, to active safety, to enhanced fuel economy and reduced greenhouse emission. With MPE these applications are possible on all vehicles, even when a navigation system or navigable map is not resident.

    Wireless traffic data in real time
    The effect of moving objects on the electromagnetic landscape set up by cellular telephony networks can be detected and interpreted to give real-time traffic data across large geographical areas at low cost. Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than
