Traditionally, the performance of AI models for “real-time” object detection is directly linked to the computing power and storage capacity of the hardware used to run the model. This factor heavily limits the application possibilities of Neural Networks on the edge of the IoT cloud. At the same time, embedding a Neural Network into an …
Bicycles play an important role in the shift towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly traffic. Especially cities can profit from the reduction of emissions and the more efficient use of parking space. Since the invention and widespread adoption of E-Bikes, the bicycle became an alternative across age groups. At the same time, average distances covered …
NovelSense is developing a battery powered and camera based traffic counter under the ABAKUS brand. The small build-size and low-power design increases the flexibility of the sensor and makes it ideal for temporary installations. Currently the ABAKUS is optimized for the recognition of bicycles. This makes it the perfect tool for cities or traffic planners …
The mFUND conference takes place each year in Berlin and is one of the biggest mobility related meetings in Germany. Hosted by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), the event is meeting point for people working on the mobility of the future. Hosting several panel discussions, workshops and presentations the event stretches …
Developing the future of mobility does require thinking about different modes of sustainable transportation. For urban mobility this implies bicycles. Bicycle usage in Germany has seen a significant increase during the 2000s and 2010s. This is partly also due to the development and widespread adaptation of pedelecs and electric bikes. Many cities are looking to …
Project “VideoSmart” is a mFUND project run by LAT Funkanlagen-Service GmbH in Berlin. It aims to utilize existing 360 degree security cameras in Berlins subways to optimize the passenger flow at the stations. Therefore the cameras are used to recognize the amount of passengers in each wagon. The information is transfered to LED signals on …
“ParkCheck” aims to develop an innovative traffic sensor. It should be used to count vehicles and applied to enable parking space detection in cities. The project was developed in cooperation with Nuremberg based startup Smart City System and funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) in Berlin. The new sensor is …
Automated and connected vehicles can revolutionize urban transport. The increasing connection between automobile and infrastructure represents challenge and opportunity at the same time. Together with SWARCO Traffic Systems GmbH from Unterensingen, the thesis aims to explore business opportunities at the intersection between automated vehicles and smart infrastructure. This should enable the company to take a …
