As many of our community members are on the road daily, your safety remains a top priority for us. That’s why we’re highlighting a helpful innovation that could significantly enhance road safety for all. 📈 In 2023, Flanders saw a 10% increase in fatal traffic accidents involving vulnerable road users, reaching a record high of 136 victims. A growing concern has been accidents related to lorries’ blind spots. 👁️ Introducing the Active Sideguard - the world’s first warning system for lorries using low-frequency electric fields. Developed by eXia, a spin-off from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in collaboration with imec, this sensor is a lifesaver on wheels! 🔬 With over 15 years of research backing this technology, the Active Sideguard sensor alerts lorry drivers to objects in their blind spots, potentially preventing fatal accidents. 🔗 Read more about this innovative technology and how it’s saving lives here: https://lnkd.in/eRDEUEH6 #RoadSafety #Innovation #VUB #eXia #MoversIndustry #ActiveSideguard

Great to be invited to the ECarExpo Stockholm earlier today, really inspiring with not only heaps of electric cars from basically all the major manufacturers but also motorcycles and even an amphipious electric 3-wheeler! To then also be part of the panel discussion around Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) together with Emanuella Wallin, Jorunn Cardell, Sten Forsberg and Stefan Gabrielsson was a great way to end the week. We all agreed on one thing, that V2G will play an important part of the future electric system, but there are some reamining questions such as "How soon?" and "Which different services will on the longer term be provided by V2G?" Of course frequency control will be an important services, but what other services will also be delivered by V2G? Local and regional grid support? Back-up power? There are so many different posibilities and the only thing we know is that the future will be electric! #v2g #ecarexpo #Vattenfall #polestar #volkswagen

Making of: DLR-Fahrzeugkonzept U-Shift for the Federal Garden Show 2023 Auf der Bundesgartenschau BUGA 23 in Mannheim Power das DLR die urbane Mobilität der Zukunft erlebbar. The end of the year - from mid-April to mid-October 2023 - is the futuristic vehicle concept U-Shift through the distance. The U-Shift makes emissions free, automatic, safe and comfortable. Particulars include flexibility: It can transport persons and food. It is possible to make the special haircuts that are easy to weld. The making of the team is part of the DLR Institute for Technology and Construction of the four U-Shift Prototyps, which are part of the BUGA research and development work. With further notification is possible. The Feedback of the Fahrgäste flows in the Research and the Behavioral Management of the Concepts anyway and the Geschäftsmodelle for the U-Shift ein.

Under FP3-IAM4Rail Work Package 10, ADIF, Ceit Centro Tecnológico and voestalpine Railway Systems have installed two intelligent turnout demonstrators.   These demonstrators aim to implement a multi-source, multi-purpose intelligent asset management solution for railway infrastructure monitoring. A standard mixed traffic and a high-speed turnout have been equipped with novel monitoring technologies.   The monitoring systems focus on tracking the health status of the turnouts, detecting and preventing faults, and assisting ADIF in maintaining the asset performance, availability, efficiency and safety of their infrastructure.   Many thanks to the entire team that made the deployment of these use cases in ADIF's infrastructure possible, from the technologists to the ADIF Maintenance teams, who have been cooperative at all times.

In response to a request from the CDU/CSU, the German government has stated that only around 4.5 per cent of all buses in public transport currently have electric drives. Critical voices from Michael Donth and Henning Rehbaum question whether the goal of having half of all city buses in Germany electrified by 2030 can be achieved? https://lnkd.in/eFyfjCMA

🎥 Views from Munich: A confident display of #innovation against a challenging backdrop 💬 ACEA Director General, Sigrid de Vries, live from IAA MOBILITY 2023: "What we need from European policy makers is that they support the #automotive industry efforts by building an industrial strategy that really enables innovation and manufacturing in Europe, and that also enables #mobility for all."
