The device is located by nearby intelligent roadside infrastructure that is connected to the Azure cloud.<\/p>\n<p>This IAV and Microsoft solution incorporates Azure IoT Suite, connected vehicle and infrastructure data, and Cortana Analytics for predictive hazard modelling.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We see this cloud solution like an additional surroundings sensor,\u201d said IAV.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on gadgets<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/gadgets\/150889-an-alarm-clock-which-wakes-you-up-with-smell.html\">An alarm clock which wakes you up with smell<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/gadgets\/150783-polar-balance-a-complete-weight-management-system.html\">Polar Balance \u2013 a complete weight management system<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/hardware\/150777-samsung-unveils-new-2tb-portable-ssd-t3.html\">Samsung unveils new 2TB Portable SSD T3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IAV and Microsoft have demonstrated an automated vehicle capable of connecting with the Microsoft Azure cloud and Windows 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":151033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[36,34729,34853,34851,123],"class_list":["post-151031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-active","tag-ces2016","tag-chad","tag-iav","tag-microsoft"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151031"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151031"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151131,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151031\/revisions\/151131"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
