Citizen, Teaching, Industry, Cities for Future Mobility

Continental’s aimis constantly innovating solutions that help make roadways safer for all who use them.

The speaker willfirst present 2 technologies which transform city infrastructures intosmart infrastructure. Then, it will explain how citingare implementing them.

The first technology is the Vantage Fusion detection system. The solution is continuously monitoring, visualizing and optimizing mobility to ensure that roads are safe, travel is efficient, and communities thrive. It applies cloud computing, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, advisory services, and services to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable mobility.

The second technology is making car moving autonomously within parking. The prerequisite for using the solution is an additional vehicle function (Central Motion Control), which converts the trajectory specified by the intelligent infrastructure into the control of the corresponding actuators.

These technologiesto be implemented needs smart city infrastructuresdemanding updates in sensing, connectivity, and communication capabilities. Then how Continental and cities are working together to make these happening ?
