Safe and Intelligent Transportation

Safety issues are today a key differentiator in the transportation industrial sector. The supervision and the detection of dangerous situations is a key technological challenge for future transportation systems at the infrastructure and vehicle levels. As an example, various obstacles can be detected on the road or in a Level Crossing (LC) using embedded systems. The proposed system will be based on stereo-vision technology (high definition cameras) and embedded reconfigurable computing and can be integrated either in vehicles or in the rail network. Also, Dreampal has started a collaboration with INDUCT (http://induct-technology.com/ ) to develop reconfigurable parallel architecture for the detection and the identification of obstacles in the frame of the NAVIA (autonomous electrical vehicle) project. This application will be implemented on Xilinx Zynq-based boards equipped with video processing features.
