The new i-Motors project, led by academics from the University of Nottingham’s Geospatial Institute and Human Factors Research Group and digital technology company Control F1, aims to build a mobile platform that allows vehicles of different manufacturers and origins to transfer and store data.
The project, which has received a US$1.9 million award from the UK’s innovation agency Innovate UK sets out to establish a set of universal standards on how vehicles communicate with each other, and with other ma
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has released findings from the first phase of a three-part research effort aimed at mitigating costly large truck rollovers. ATRI has produced a database of locations with the highest frequency of large truck rollovers using over 50,000 crash records over a nine-year period. The database, which covers 31 states, provides valuable insight into the location of high frequency rollover locations to both public transportation officials and the trucking indust
German-based BMW Group (BMW) has confirmed it will integrate Here’s HD Live Map into its self-driving cars from the beginning of the next decade to enable them to operate with level three and four automated capabilities. The project aims to enhance safety for drivers and passengers.
The map is designed with the intention of providing a more precise solution than navigation systems and is said to be updated more rapidly, drawing on data from a growing list of partners across the automotive industry.
Entitled ‘Embrace challenge, plan response and unlearn the normal’, the conference will focus on key issues affecting traffic management in England. This includes tackling poor air quality, digitising the road network, the opportunities and challenges arising from e-scooters, and a panel debate on who gets priority to road space in a post pandemic, decarbonising and micro-mobility world.
