Software company Renovo has launched a data management platform to aid the development of autonomous and advanced driver assistance systems products.
 
Speaking at the TaaS (Transportation as a Service) Conference in the UK city of Birmingham this week, Dennis Hamann, head of Europe at Renovo, says the Insight platform is targeted at the developers and data scientists in charge of “bringing these fleets to fruition”.
 
“There's benefits of faster access to AV data, minimal error rates, complete traceability across an entire fleet and storage reduction,” he continues. “It is meant to work ubiquitously with or without our platforms across various vehicles.”
 
Insight is expected to streamline the ingest, orchestration and sharing of the data, allowing developers to access advanced vehicle data more quickly.
 
Hamann compared AV data to oil, saying that they both become more valuable once refined in a session called AV Data is the New Oil.
 
“This is all about extraction, refinement and giving it to the right people to make the right decisions,” he added.
 
Going forward, Hamann suggests that the opportunity for AV data can be improved upon by facilitating cooperation in a way that makes solutions “easier to deploy and more cost-effective”.
 
“Secondly, is to encourage new business models which provide use cases and one way of doing that is providing open industry-based tools and technologies,” he concluded.

    Options abound for road weather sensing
    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    Nearly 50% of all car trips in the most congested US metropolitan areas are less than three miles and could be replaced by micromobility services, says Inrix. The company analysed data points from connected devices to rank the top US, UK and German cities where micromobility services (shared bikes, electric bikes and electric scooters) could have the most significant impact on replacing vehicle trips. Findings from the National Association of City Transportation Officials estimated that scooters are

Users can access the bicycles via the same app used for Scoot’s shared electric scooters. The e-bikes come with an electric motor to make pedalling easier for terrains such as hills, but riders are required to pedal to reach the maximum speed of 20mph.
