congatec is pleased to introduce new rugged vehicle computing platforms for smart mobility applications in the extended temperature range at Intertraffic Amsterdam, Hall 5/Booth 309. Designed to simplify and accelerate digitization and autonomous driving in harsh environments such as transportation, logistics, construction, and agriculture, congatec’s smart mobility solutions range from computing platforms for the next generation of real-time 5G connected, unmanned, functionally safe vehicles to solutions designed for digitizing the mobility kinematics of existing fleets. The goal is to provide highly accurate orientation data to improve situational awareness, and ultimately to optimize the movement and operation of autonomous vehicles.
Mobility OEMs and their tier 1 suppliers must tackle a variety of tasks when designing the next generation of smart autonomous mobility controllers: They have to integrate vision and various other sensors for gathering situational raw data, plus implement data preprocessing and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve data analytics, and design controller logic for autonomous vehicle movement and operation. As if all that wasn’t enough, they also need 5G network sliced device connectivity for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-x communication. And all this needs to be implemented with real-time capabilities and functional safety.
Highlights of the congatec presentations at Intertraffic Amsterdam are the Intel Xeon D processor based COM-HPC Server modules for edge servers in autonomous railway applications and 5G wayside equipment; the 12th Gen Intel Core processor based COM‑HPC Client and COM Express modules for smart vehicle gateways and vehicle network controllers; as well as an application ready, Intel Atom processor based real-time kinematic platform by congatec’s solution partner Etteplan.
