8250 Nordsys has unveiled its mobile test and diagnosic tool for car2x communication environments. The waveBEE touch system is a ruggedised tablet computer that receives wireless communication based on Europe’s ETSI/ITS and the US’s IEEE WAVE specifications and enables the operator to analyse car2X messages in detail.

The tablet allows car2X communication data to be received, visualised and analysed ‘in the field’. Until now, such messages have usually been recorded in equipment-filled vehicles and taken back to base for analysis.

Errors in car2X test scenarios can be detected by the tablet from ranges of around 500m to 3km.

A car2X-equipped vehicle can generate warnings for events such as nearby emergency or broken-down vehicles, as well as poor conditions such as slippery roads.

    Applications of long range radar technology are demonstrating its effectiveness as a first line of defence for highway managers – adding greater resilience and capability to existing systems. Development efforts are bringing long range millimetric wave radar to the fore as a very useful tool for managers of highway networks. Application of radar for wide area monitoring in traffic management remains in its infancy. But recent projects are demonstrating how it can now serve to enhance detection of incidents

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.

    Experts leading a major three-year trial into the impact of electric vehicles and the role they could play in our transport systems of the future, have shown that rolling them out across our city’s roads would protect both our health and the environment. Data gathered and analysed by transport experts at the UK’s Newcastle University shows that daytime air pollution levels in our towns and cities regularly exceed the Government’s recommended 40µg m-3 (21 parts per billion) for prolonged periods, putting peo
