Incredibly, the Volar-e car displayed on the 7863 Applus Idiada stand will accelerate from 0-100km/h in under three seconds – not bad for an electric car. The Idiada engineering and technology division of the certification body Applus put all of the various technologies of this car together and fully tested it within nine months. The organisation is here in Bordeaux promoting its proving ground for testing ITS communication systems.
As we chart our route to the ITS World Congress in Hamburg, a recent Ertico-ITS Europe webinar explored the future of connectivity including policy, infrastructure and security
Virgin Hyperloop One is working with Saudi Arabia’s Economic City Authority (ECA) to conduct a study to build a 35km test and certification track.
The company claims its technology can reduce travel times between cities: it says the trip from Riyadh to the Red Sea port of Jeddah would be slashed from 10 hours to 76 minutes, for example, with the Riyadh-Abu Dhabi route cut from 8.5 hours to 48 minutes.
The study will take place in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), located 100km north of Jeddah. It w
The Compass4D project has awarded over US$500,000 of EU funding to the city of Verona to deploy three services: red light violation warning, road hazard warning, and energy efficient intersections. In Verona, one of the most advanced cities in Italy in terms of ITS cooperative systems, vehicles will be gradually equipped with in-vehicle units which will communicate with roadside units and will also be usable in the other six pilot cities. The Compass4D pilot site is located in the city centre and will invol
The European Start-up Prize for Mobility has whittled down 568 entrants to 150 projects.

The organisers say more established start-ups have entered this time, with 58% in business for more than three years, and an average of 14 employees.
“This is partly explained by the maturing and expansion
