MIT Professor’s IoT Sensors Make Roads Safer

Cars That Think

Using signal processing and machine learning, their sensing device for vehicles was able to infer the presence of potholes and other impediments from changes in traffic flow, which it measured with GPS and an accelerometer. It was used in areas where GPS didn’t work well, such as hospitals, office buildings, and research centers.

MIT, QCRI use AI to enrich digital maps to improve GPS navigation; RoadTagger

Green Car Congress

A model developed by Researchers at MIT and Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) have developed a model that uses satellite imagery to tag road features in digital maps to help improve GPS navigation. Lane counts, for instance, can enable a GPS system to warn drivers of diverging or merging lanes.

ARB Report Finds Reflective Glazing to Meet Cool Cars Regulation Will Not Impact Certain Portable Devices

Green Car Congress

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has published a report evaluating the potential electromagnetic interference on certain portable devices such as cell phones, global positioning systems (GPS) and ankle monitoring bracelets due to automotive reflective glazing as required under the “Cool Car” regulation. Earlier post.).

MIT autonomous boats can target and latch onto each other: dynamic roboat structures

Green Car Congress

The idea is to build a fleet of autonomous robotic boats—rectangular hulls equipped with sensors, thrusters, microcontrollers, GPS modules, cameras, and other hardware—that provides intelligent mobility on water to relieve congestion in the city’s busy streets. Using that information, the roboat steers itself toward the tag.

Study Links Accelerating Uplift of Greenland to Accelerated Melting of Ice

Green Car Congress

Here we present high-precision global positioning system (GPS) data that describe the vertical motion of the rocky margins of Greenland, Iceland and Svalbard. Using specialized global positioning system (GPS) receivers stationed on the rocky shores of Greenland, the scientists looked at data from 1995 onward. Tags: Brief.
