Microsoft showcases traffic safety technology
IAV and Microsoft have demonstrated a connected highly automated driving (CHAD) vehicle capable of connecting with the Microsoft Azure cloud and Windows 10.
The company said this will enable communication that prevents vehicle and pedestrian accidents and increases driving comfort and convenience.
The vehicle-2-x (V2X) communication connectivity approach uses data from the vehicle’s surroundings to improve smart service and enhance safety.
The benefits of this approach were demonstrated at CES 2016, based on the following example:
A pedestrian with a wearable device is walking toward the road, concealed by a parked vehicle. The device is located by nearby intelligent roadside infrastructure that is connected to the Azure cloud.
This IAV and Microsoft solution incorporates Azure IoT Suite, connected vehicle and infrastructure data, and Cortana Analytics for predictive hazard modelling.
Cloud solutions of this nature can be used to transfer information from the surrounding environment, like traffic light sensors, into the connected vehicle to better predict safety procedures.
The CHAD vehicle then receives a V2X warning that permits the safe, convenient adjustment of its driving dynamics to detect and avoid the hazard in plenty of time.
“We see this cloud solution like an additional surroundings sensor,” said IAV.
