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.

    Nashville's signal optimisation programme produced a stunning return on investment. Are those results exceptional? Could similar results be replicated in cities across the US and indeed the world? ITS International spoke to Chris Rhodes, P.E. of Kimley-Horn and Associates, project leader for the Nashville signal optimisation programme. "You have to bear in mind that with signal optimisation programmes you don't see, for instance, physical construction or new pieces of equipment on the roadside that someone

    April 18, 2012
    Innovative measures to cut the number of rush hour road works have been announced by UK Transport Secretary Philip Hammond. Under ‘lane rental’ schemes, councils would be able to charge utility companies to dig up the busiest roads during peak times when road works cause the most disruption. Companies would be able to avoid the charges by carrying out works during quieter periods or, if appropriate, at night.

    The innovative QBeak electric car is to benefit from a sophisticated methanol fuel cell range extender that will give it a range of at least 800km. Development work is being carried out on the project by a consortium of Danish companies. The plan is to develop a novel, range-extended electric vehicle that uses biomethanol as a fuel source. TheModularEnergyCarrier concept (MECc) project has just been granted funding from the Danish government. The reworked electric car is expected to deliver high market pote

  • Project to develop inductive charging for EVs
    April 25, 2012
    Volvo Car Corporation is participating in an inductive charging project. Together with Belgian technological and development specialists Flanders' Drive and others, Volvo is developing systems and methods that need neither power sockets nor charging cables. With inductive charging, energy is transferred wirelessly to the car's battery via a charging plate buried in the road surface.
