Tokyo & Blacksburg, Nov 10, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) have successfully carried out a proof of concept (PoC) to provide safety information and warnings to drivers, pedestrians and other road users near intersections using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based video analysis technologies.

Key Points: 
  • Tokyo & Blacksburg, Nov 10, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) have successfully carried out a proof of concept (PoC) to provide safety information and warnings to drivers, pedestrians and other road users near intersections using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based video analysis technologies.
  • NEC provided AI-based video analytics technology that can detect, categorize, and track road users such as vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles around intersections.
  • NEC and VTTI also worked on traffic safety use cases such as predicting collisions between vehicle and pedestrian, pedestrian crossing detection, and right/left turn vehicle detection.
  • In all endeavors, the VTTI community is charged with finding solutions to the greatest transportation challenges facing our world.

The iPASOLINK VR4 with new MC-AVC now supports Channel Aggregation and allows operators to easily double the link capacity by simultaneously transmitting two radio channels via a single IAP3 ODU, without the need to add additional hardware.

Key Points: 
  • The iPASOLINK VR4 with new MC-AVC now supports Channel Aggregation and allows operators to easily double the link capacity by simultaneously transmitting two radio channels via a single IAP3 ODU, without the need to add additional hardware.
  • The IAP3 ODU now also supports Channel Aggregation while IAP3 frequency bands are being rolled out sequentially.
  • The Channel Aggregation feature is licensed and enabled in software on the iPASOLINK VR4 with the new MC-AVC main card.
  • A single IF cable connected between the iPASOLINK VR4 modem port and the IAP3 ODU enables operators to double the link capacity by simply adding a second radio channel.
