Combisensor From SensorDynamics

SensorDynamics has launched the SD755 micromechanical combisensor which integrates an automotive integrating gyrometer and accelerometer in a single package. Both sensors transmit their signals over a shared SPI interface that facilitates further processing as well as minimising development time and system costs. The device is ideally suited for applications such as electronic stabilising systems in cars that match the actual road curvature with the angle lock. When there is a difference detected, single wh

RSSSensorDynamics has launched the SD755 micromechanical combisensor which integrates an automotive integrating gyrometer and accelerometer in a single package. Both sensors transmit their signals over a shared SPI interface that facilitates further processing as well as minimising development time and system costs. The device is ideally suited for applications such as electronic stabilising systems in cars that match the actual road curvature with the angle lock. When there is a difference detected, single wheels are systematically slowed down to avoid skidding. Evaluation boards are available.

    The EU’s UDRIVE project will investigate driver behaviour in terms of road safety and the decarbonisation of road transport, as Nicole van Nes and Silvia Curbelo explain. There were nearly 25,700 fatalities on European Union (EU) roads in 2014 or, to look it another way, roughly 70 people are killed in traffic accidents on European roads every day - and many more are injured. Around 22% of the fatalities are pedestrians, 15% will be motorcycle riders and 8% cyclists. So despite the improvements in road safe

    Xerox has won a contract to replace Geneva Airport’s entire parking management system for its 20 parking lots featuring more than 7,000 spaces, including walk-up pay stations, parking guidance and a global monitoring and management system which will connect with the rest of the airport’s computer systems. As part of a ten-year contract, travellers will be also able to receive information about flight delays, gate changes or customised information when they arrive at the airport parking lot.
