clouds for parking

04.07.2014

SAP AG announced the launch of an innovative pilot project developed jointly with Volkswagen AG and several other partners. Its goal is to use SAP mobile and cloud services to help drivers find parking spots and nearby fast food restaurants in Hannover, Germany. The project is the result of many years of cooperation between companies in the field of innovation and provides for the standardization and development of common formats for the consumption of cloud services, SAP told CNews.

Initially, the authors of the project sought to reduce the stress and loss of time that drivers face every day when looking for parking spaces in large cities. But then the range of tasks expanded, and now the pilot includes the provision of geolocation services to find fast food restaurants in the parking area. The project is based on the use of the SAP HANA cloud platform and provides for the aggregation of information about parking places, the location of vehicles and possible routes. Hannover Airport information will also be collected to facilitate parking in the area. All these processes and collected data will be combined in one mobile application using the SAP Cloud portfolio, the company said.

To date, as part of a pilot project, SAP and Volkswagen have introduced a comprehensive and scalable solution to facilitate parking in a large city. The project should result in a cloud-based solution from SAP that will help drivers find the best parking spots and save time and fuel, as well as optimize urban infrastructure. The companies expect to continue working together to standardize the services offered and promote them.

"SAP and Volkswagen have worked together for years to help solve the challenges that drivers face every day in the world's major cities," said Gil Perez, senior vice president of Connected Vehicles, SAP. services.This is an example of using the SAP HANA cloud platform to solve everyday problems."

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. ... >>

Recyclable printed circuit boards 03.05.2024

Electronics play a key role in today's world, but the accompanying rise in e-waste is putting the environment at risk. In response to this problem, researchers at the University of Washington have developed an innovative technology that could change conventional wisdom about circuit board recycling. A team led by scientists from the University of Washington has created a vitrimer printed circuit board that has the unique ability to be recycled multiple times. Using advanced environmentally friendly polymers, the researchers developed a material that can be turned into a jelly-like substance using a special solvent. This opens the way for PCBs to be reused and recycled without significant loss of quality. Vitrimer printed circuit boards (vPCBs) represent significant advances in environmental sustainability. Unlike conventional plastics, which are susceptible to degradation during repeated recycling, jelly-like vitrimer retains its ... >>

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Sea water biodegradable plastic 31.03.2020

Plant-based plastic was created by a group of scientists from Osaka University. Scientists claim that the created material decomposes in sea water. The material is quite durable, inexpensive and easy to manufacture. The main thing is that the material can alleviate the problem of disposal of plastic waste polluting the seas.

The raw materials for the production of the new material were the starch contained in cassava, the raw material for tapioca, and the cellulose contained in wood pulp. One sheet is about 100 micrometers thick and more than double the strength of widely used polyethylene plastics.

A sheet of plastic was placed in sea water and a month later the organisms living in it "tear it to shreds". In water with a small number of microorganisms, the material did not decompose. More variants of materials have been created that can be decomposed by living organisms.

Recall that fast-decomposing plastic based on lactic acid polymers, which can withstand high temperatures, was developed by Czech scientists. It is suitable for packaging frozen foods, as well as for heating in the microwave. These dishes do not deform when heated, do not emit harmful substances and are environmentally friendly, because they decompose in a few weeks, unlike ordinary plastic, which can lie in the ground for hundreds of years. The environmental problem of planetary pollution has become acute for mankind, scientists from many countries are struggling to solve it.
