Self-driving cars take to the streets of Gothenburg
ARCCORE has announced that it has been invited to participate in the pre-development of embedded software platform technology for highly autonomous driving and next-gen active safety features.ARCCORE aims to support the realisation of the large-scale highly autonomous driving pilot project “Drive Me”. Drive Me is the world’s biggest pilot project, whereby self-driving cars will be deployed on public roads in the Gothenburg area.
Time-critical control data management to be demonstrated
Innovasic will demonstrate how time-critical control data can be effectively managed on an Ethernet network using technologies that are being adopted and evaluated by the IEEE standards association for 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). By using its fido5000 Real-time Ethernet Multiprotocol (REM) switch chip, Innovasic will demonstrate scheduled traffic (802.1Qbv), time synchronisation (802.1AS-Rev) and ingress policing (802.1Qci).
Electronic mirror eliminates blind spots
Facilitating an alternative option to the exterior rear-view mirrors of the car, Ficosa has developed an electronic mirror composed of cameras and displays. This pioneering system, also known as a Camera Monitor System (CMS), represents an authentic revolution for the automotive industry as well as an important progress towards the autonomous car.
CNC Axis sharing innovation paves the way for more versatile machine tools
NUM has launched an innovative new CNC axis sharing facility that will enable designers to create machine tools of unprecedented versatility and productivity. It provides a very flexible and efficient means of controlling a high number of functionally interrelated groups of motion axes, by using advanced dynamic resource allocation techniques to share control across multiple CNC kernels. Typical applications include multi-station production centr...
