TransCore has today launched ROVR, a GPS device with GSM communications that allows infrastructure-less tolling and includes an optional driver safety monitoring feature shown to dramatically reduce accidents, improve fuel economy, and decrease Greenhouse gases (GHG).
One of the applications for LIDAR is to make high resolution 3-D maps. Self-driving cars are pre-loaded with a LIDAR map of the trials area in which they are permitted to fully self-drive themselves. The cars also have their own LIDAR scanner which captures a real-time LIDAR view of the vehicle’s surroundings. The fully autonomous driving system within these prototype cars compares the real-time LIDAR view against the pre-loaded LIDAR map to significantly increase the accuracy of their self-positioning
The three-year Rainvision project has ended and its report on better road markings is finalised.
On 9 March, the Rainvision project held its final meeting in Brussels, Belgium. Rainvision, set up in 2012 and co-financed by the European Commission, has investigated the impact of road markings on driver behaviour under different night-time weather conditions, such as dry, wet and wet-rainy. The aim is to assess how different age and gender groups adapt their driving based on the visibility and retrorefle
