Digital road models accelerate autonomous vehicle development
A paper outlining the role of digital road models in the virtual testing of autonomous vehicles will be presented at the Autonomous Vehicle Test and Development Symposium, Stuttgart, 16th to 18th June. rFactorpro’s Digital Road Modelling pipeline, recently voted Development Tool of the Year by Vehicle Dynamics International magazine, is enabling vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers to bring autonomous vehicles to the road sooner.
The fastest 5G WiFi router platform on the market
An eight-stream 5G WiFi router platform, claimed to be the fastest in the market, has been released by Broadcom. The second generation 5G WiFi XStream MU-MIMO platform delivers an unrivalled 5.4Gb/s of total WiFi data rates.
Earth's magnetosphere measured accurately from space
The foundry division of ams AG, Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) have jointly presented the very promising results of highly accurate measurements of the Earth’s magnetosphere from space, as part of NASA’s ‘Magnetospheric Multiscale’ mission launched in March 2015.
Study supports use of CFD/lidar system on complex terrain
Independent renewable energy consultancy Natural Power has released a groundbreaking study to be presented at the EWEA Wind Resource Assessment workshop, Helsinki, that will support the replacement of traditional met masts on sites featuring complex terrain, with a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) converted lidar campaign featuring ZephIR 300.
Stanford & U.S. ARL set a computational record
Stanford engineers have partnered with the U.S. ARL(Army Research Laboratory) to set a computational record. Stanford Professor Charbel Farhat and his research team at the Army High Performance Computing Research Center (AHPCRC) used a high-end, parallel computer to demonstrate the power of algorithms that instruct processors to work together to solve challenging problems.
Special exhibitions highlight the importance of photonics
The automotive industry invests more into research and development than most others and its innovations are increasingly based on photonics. Light is also the central tool in 3D printing, which is on the cusp of industrial production. For these reasons, the two areas of innovation are being given their own special exhibitions at the LASER World of PHOTONICS, 22nd to 25th June in Munich.
Development platform suits safety- & security-critical design
LDRAand Green Hillshave partnered to provide high-assurance application development on multicore platforms used in safety- and security-critical markets.The growing emergence of multicore platforms and applications paves the way for verification tool capabilities needed to complete high-assurance safety- and security-critical compliance activities.
Precision Automation Actuator Features Closed-Loop Force and Position Control
Precision motion control systems leader PI recently released a new series of actuators based on PIMag non-contacting voice-coil linear motor technology to ensure greater dynamics and positioning accuracy. With low wear and high lifetime, different travels and force capabilities are available, in addition to custom engineered solutions.
Meet the transient power challenge
It is possible to use mix and match power components to create customised units that are adaptable to a range of energy sources and load requirements while optimising the power sub-system for size, weight, and power, agues Chester Firek, Vicor.
Bringing simulation technology to mainstream automotive design
A technical agreement to bring simulators and associated technology to the global automotive market has been annouced from McLaren Applied Technologies (M.A.T.) and MTS Systems. Under the terms of the agreement, M.A.T. and MTS will create and deliver a next-gen Vehicle Dynamics Simulator (VDS), which uses a tightly integrated ‘driver-in-the-loop’ system for engineering the development of road cars.
