Nissan demonstrates intelligent vehicle

Nissan has exhibited an even more sophisticated version of its Leaf electric vehicle. This autonomous concept vehicle is equipped with five cameras as well as five laser scanners, which help it negotiate its route. The technology package provides a continuous flow of data for the vehicle’s computer to analyse and process, allowing it to guide it through various driving scenarios. The vehicle is able to find its way through an urban environment and also park itself.

  • Technology to ensure continuity and quality for asphalt production
    June 4, 2019
    A variety of complex factors are involved in the production of hot asphalt mixes, with the process vulnerable to sudden stoppages of the equipment. The problems caused by a need for unplanned maintenance are high, as the cost of a plant stoppage is high. In order to minimise disruptions to production, new technologies can be used for wear components. Electronic monitoring of asphalt plant motors during production can boost efficiency, replacing corrective maintenance with preventive and predictive maintenan
