6765 Autotalks will use the ITS World Congress Melbourne to launch Craton2 which the company claims is the most advanced worldwide-compliant V2X solution available today. Designed to meet the rigorous requirements for sensor-fusion and autonomous vehicles, Craton2 offers the best in-class future-proof V2X cybersecurity protection. Its high level of integration is claimed to make it the most cost-optimised V2X solution.

The cybersecurity solution offers multiple protection layers such as secure boot, secure low-latency signing, line-rate verification of the entire V2X communication link, and secure V2X firewall. Additionally, Autotalks’ cryptographic-agile security engines support field upgrade of future ECDSA curves while maintaining safety-grade performance level of the V2X applications.

Autotalks says Craton2 easily adapts to any vehicle architecture while its high level of integration reduces development and certification effort and ensures quick time-to-market. It integrates all V2X system blocks, including a powerful dual ARM processor, and introduces what is claimed to be the smallest V2X solution footprint with the lowest power consumption.

Craton2 is a global platform supporting EU, US and Japan standards. Its support of IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, enables wi-fi service outside the vehicle for supplementary value-added services.

    Debating the future development of ANPR
    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
