A Spanish research group of Electronics Department of the Alcala University has developed an open electronic system that allows to establish services of intelligent vehicle for transport using EGNOS tools (geographical positioning system). This model has the capacity of data transmission to long distance (movable telephony) and to short distance (radio frequency). Technical cooperation is required.
Description:
This open operative system contribute to some services of intelligent vehicles inside transport world. The embedded electronic system is implanted in a vehicle with high computational capability (operative system eCos) and with communications for mobile telephony, communications for short distance and with a system of geographical positioning EGNOS.
This platform presents two services as demostration:
-Detection of speeding vehicles depending on the maximum authorized speed
-Implementation of the idea of " pay as you drive " in order to invoice the vehicle assurance.
About the actual GPS, it has as advantages a greater precision, availability and uniformity. Their possible fields of application are aviation, railroad, highway (pay as you drive), etc. The future will pass through the GALILEO system that will have a greater precision (lower to a metre) and availability (95 % in urban areas) among other advantages, and it hopes that generates around 100.000 uses.
Innovative aspects
A similar opened electronic system allows to implement different intelligent services for transport. It is a positioning system of high precision, possibilities of communication for long distance(movable telephony) and short distance (radio frequency). The detection of vehicles speeding depending on maximum authorized speed and the implementation of the idea of " pay as you drive " in order to invoice the vehicle assurance.
Current stage of development of the research result
Development phase
Funding Research:
National project
Competitive advantages
As an open system totally programmable, it has several possibilities of transport application. It is a system of low reconfigurable cost based on the application necessities. It is possible to be applied for the detection of robbed vehicles, control of fleets of vehicles, automatic detection of traffic infractions, payment of automobile insurance, automatic payment in tolls and parkings, also with the possibility of use it in the railroad and marine transport.
Current state of industrial and intellectual property
Patent granted
Comments
Patent granted with reference P200101349
Type of collaboration sought
Technical cooperation
The research group seeks for cooperation agreements with companies from the transport sector, developers of applications within the transport sector, automobile insurances companies, General Directorate of Traffic, etc.
The concrete activity that the company must do as a part of the agreement is the definition of the specifications for the implementation of the solution.

Active Assisted Driving Systems based on Computer Vision and Laser (TO 02)
A Spanish research group of the Electronic Department of Alcala University has developed a technology based in systems of active attendance to the conduction by means of vision by computer and laser. These systems are devised to lend aid to the conductor in situations of danger or cases in which the conduction is not adapted (restrained illegal, oscillations, are present obstacles, etc). The research group is interested in commercial agreements with technical assistance or manufacturing agreements.
Description:
The Systems of Active Attendance to the Conduction are devised to lend aid or warnings to the conductor in situations of imminent danger, or those cases in which the conduction is not adapted (restrained illegal, oscillations, are present at of an obstacle, etc). The group has developed several types of techniques of attendance to the conduction based fundamentally on vision by computer and laser:
- Warning of exit advance track
- Warning speed in curved
- ACC based on vision
- ACC based on Laser
- Detection of dream in conductors
- Detection and recognition of deal signals
- Detection of vehicles in dead space
- Nocturnal detection of vehicles
- Recognition of conductors
- Detection of the occupants position
- Detection and recognition of people
- Attendance system to navigation by means vision and GPS
These products are focused in increasing the road security, either on board of an automobile or installed like part of the infrastructure of the route in bridges or tunnels. The solution of this security problem could be automated in massive form.
Innovative aspects
Support the conduction as an alert to the conductor in situations of imminent danger or when the conduction is not suitable. The developed systems show a high capacity of anticipation and a percentage of false alarms practically null.
Current stage of development of the research result:
Developed, available for demonstration
Funding Research:
National project
Private funding
Competitive advantages:
The main advantage derived from the incorporation of this technology lies in the capacity to compete in the market in an innovating form by means of product’s commercialization focused in increasing the road security, either on board of an automobile or installed like part of the infrastructure of the route in bridges or tunnels. The resolution of the problem of security could be automated in a massive form.
Current state of industrial and intellectual property:
Patent applied
The patent of some of the developed systems has been asked for. The rest of systems remain without patenting, although the request of its respective patents will be made in the short term.
Type of collaboration sought:
-Technical cooperation
-Commercial agreement with technical assistance
Comments
The asked technical cooperation refers to concrete requirements and the technical development of tests and training necessary to adapt the technology to the necessities of the company. Also the later maintenance of engineering that needs the applied technology, giving technical attendance to the product, on the part of the company, after its commercialization.
This type of technology would be obvious of special interest of manufacturing companies of automobiles. Secondly, also it would be of the interest of companies of the auxiliary sector of the automobile in charge of the manufacturing components. The possibilities of commercialization of this product with this kind of companies are bigger than with the manufacturers of automobiles directly.
