Abstract :
Modern society depends on transportation systems as an integral part of daily activities. According to Statistics Canada, within the “2010 Commuting to Work” report, traffic slowdowns and capacity problems in road systems are serious issues that result in commuters’ dissatisfaction, in addition to delaying deliveries and reducing business productivity. Moreover, traffic congestion contributes to urban smog and pollution that diminish environmental quality and jeopardize public health. Hence, commuting time, as well as road and driver road safety, are important issues that need to be addressed. Intelligent Mechatronic Systems (IMS) is a leader in connected car technology that enables drivers to be safer, smarter and greener. IMS’ unique approach of converging in-car infotainment, automotive telematics and wireless technology has resulted in an impressive range of solutions. From insurance and government, to fleets and everyday drivers, the company’s innovations are pioneering the connected car category and revolutionizing the way people travel.
Join Dr. Allaa Hilal as she discusses the future of the connected car, specifically “Intelligent Transportation Systems Powering Driver-Centric Technology.” Dr. Hilal will shed light on the telemetics industry challenges, gaps and needs of the market, as well as interesting research being carried out in IMS.
