Technology transfer: start-up Karrus

The NeCS team is continuing its activity in road traffic modeling and control. The expected scientific contribution of NeCS in this field concerns the development of new estimation prediction and identification algorithms based on the measurements collected through sensor networks installed on freeways. The team study also the problems of time-to destination and control algorithms for ramp metering. The team is currently setting up a consortium with local authorities involved in traffic management to build to demonstrator called GTL for Grenoble Traffic Lab. One target of this activity is to transfer part of the developed technology to a start-up named Karrus and led by Denis Jacquet (http://www.karrus.fr/ ). The start-up was created in January 2010.
