Electronics will help the driver of the car to avoid an accident

05.06.2014

Toshiba has unveiled an energy-efficient compact processor that will enable automotive electronics to recognize objects on the roadway in order to avoid collisions. The chip can also be used in smart home surveillance cameras and at intersections.

The new line of processors was named TMPV750. Model TMPV7528XBG is the first product of the new line. This processor is designed primarily for the Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Among the advantages of the new chip, the manufacturer mentions low power consumption (about 600 mW), high performance and small size (11x11 mm), thanks to which the new product can be used in compact car cameras.

Car electronic assistants equipped with cameras will be able to quickly recognize cars and pedestrians on the road using a new chip. The resulting visual data can be used by electronic systems to avoid collisions with other road users. The same technology is used in some Volvo models.

The TMPV7528XBG processor, using special algorithms, can identify several objects at once in one frame with a high level of reliability and accuracy. The developers have also provided built-in image processing accelerators, so that the detection of people in dangerous proximity will not interfere with changes in ambient lighting and even minor deformations of the camera module.

The systems based on Toshiba's new processor can be used in video equipment that is mounted for surveillance at intersections and highways, as well as in smart homes to control climate control and lighting. Recognizing the absence of people in the room, the processor will give commands to turn off the air conditioner and light to save electrical energy.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

In 10-15 years, electric vehicles will be sold more than with internal combustion engines 25.05.2019

Research company Bloomberg NEF (New Energy Finance) has published another forecast for the development of the electric car market. According to the company's analysts, more than 2018 million electric vehicles were sold in 2, and there are currently about 5 million electric vehicles in the world.

The Bloomberg NEF forecast states that the pace of sales of electric models will grow rapidly and by the mid-2030s, electric vehicles will surpass ICE models in sales, and by 2040 they will occupy about 57% of the sales market.

At the same time, the cost of average electric vehicles and internal combustion engines will equalize already in 2025 due to lower prices for batteries. Among the factors that will contribute to the strong growth in sales of electric vehicles are also called the tightening of environmental regulations and the widespread development of charging infrastructure.

Analysts expect that by the end of 2019, a mark of 2,6 million electric vehicles will be recorded, in 2025 the bar of 10 million electric vehicles per year will be broken for the first time, in 2030 28 million units will be sold, and in 2040 - 56 million units. Naturally, the more actively sales of electric vehicles grow, the more sales of gasoline and diesel cars will fall.

Representatives of Bloomberg NEF predict that by 2040 there will be 500 million passenger and 40 million commercial electric vehicles on the roads of the world. At the same time, ICE models will continue to occupy the majority of the global vehicle fleet, and their total number will not decrease until 2030.

A significant contribution to the growth in the number of sales of electric vehicles should be made by a variety of mobile services (car sharing, taxi, rental, etc.). By 2040, users will drive up to 19% of the total distance on such vehicles, and at that time 4 out of 5 vehicles in the fleet of such services will be electric.

There are already about 400 electric buses in the world as part of public transport systems, which is about 20% of the entire commercial passenger vehicle fleet. At the same time, growth in this segment will go even faster than in the case of passenger electric vehicles - by 2030 there will be more electric buses than classic ones, and by 2040 their share will increase to 70%.

Despite the growth in sales of electric cars and buses, the amount of harmful emissions from vehicles will increase until 2030, after which a gradual decrease will follow, and by 2040 this level will drop to the level as of 2018.
