January 1, 2016January 2016
The Data Management group (DAMA UPC) has developed a pilot project for SEAT that allows the possibility of introducing modifications to the car's navigator route based on actual data on traffic congestion, pollution levels, exceptional events (demonstrations, marathons). ..), which can be avoided with an alternative route. Driving is safer, carbon emissions are reduced and travel time is saved. The technology behind the City Smart Navigation Platform is CIGO !, developed by researchers from DAMA UPC and Sparsity, its spin-off.
This project is part of CARNET, a hub for research and innovation focused on the field of automotive and urban mobility of the future in Barcelona, promoted by UPC, Volkswagen Research and SEAT.

This project is funded by the European Union, in the framework of which a new end-to-end integrated packet-optical transport architecture based on multiband optical transmission and switching networks is being designed and prototyped.
- Autonomous vehicles are a reality that we are getting closer to gradually but inevitably. The Centre for Sensors, Instruments and Systems Development (CD6) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has developed technologies for this type of vehicles that improve safety on journeys. To meet the needs of perceiving the environment at long range, a very complete set of sensors has to be developed, including cameras, LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and radar.
