Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Exhibition and Summit to Align with Malaysia’s NETR Roadmap in Regional Push for Sustainability

Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Exhibition and Summit to Align with Malaysia’s NETR Roadmap in Regional Push for Sustainability

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Exhibition and Summit is set to take place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from 9-11 October, 2024, uniting leaders from the clean energy sectors to accelerate Asia’s transition to a sustainable energy future. Co-located with the distinguished International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2024 and the MobilityX Asia, CETA will provide an integrated platform for both public and private stakeholders to collaborate on innovative solutions, driving sustainability and energy security across the region.This year’s event will closely align with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), positioning CETA as a key driver in the nation’s vision for energy transition. Launched last year by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the NETR outlines a comprehensive strategy for achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and emphasises the importance of balancing economic growth with sustainability and energy security. The Summit will serve as a platform to advance the country’s ambitious green energy agenda while setting a model for the region.McKinsey & Company and Rystad Energy join CETA as Knowledge Partner and Strategic Partner respectively, lending strength to the Summit with their key research and insights.Vishal Agarwal, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, stated, “Our assessment shows that in Asia alone, there is a potential for new value pools in green businesses worth $3 to $5 trillion in the next decade. This includes areas such as renewables, green data centres, electrification and transportation, and green materials.”Mel Lanvers-Shah, CEO of The Co_Lab Pte Ltd, the event's owner and organizer, emphasised, “CETA’s alignment with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap demonstrates the crucial role that industry collaboration plays in achieving our collective sustainability goals. Together, we can build on the NETR's vision and extend its impact across Asia through the CETA platform.”Key themes addressed at the Summit include Policy & Energy Leadership, RE Ramp Up, The Hydrogen Economy, Financing Zero, Carbon, Transition Bridge and CASE Mobility Futures (a Connected Autonomous Shared Electric Mobility future for ASEAN).The Summit sessions will include top-level Ministerial Keynotes, Global Leadership Keynote Addresses, Global Leadership Panels and invitational Minister CEO Leadership Roundtables.Vijay Krishnan, Partner and Head of Asia Pacific at Rystad Energy, who is also speaking at the CETA Summit, noted,“Rystad Energy anticipates a continued rise in emissions, but expect them to decline afterward. Unfortunately, some key developed nations have shifted focus away from decarbonisation, emissions management and ESG principles. This shift in rhetoric is beginning to impact ASEAN, which is a significant concern we are committed to addressing at CETA.”“CETA's emphasis on adopting a whole-of-energy approach mirrors Malaysia’s NETR goals, particularly in its focus on balancing the development of clean energy technologies with the responsible use of hydrocarbons,” added Mel Lanvers-Shah.“Through innovative discussions and partnerships, the summit aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind, while fostering technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS) to ensure a smooth transition in line with Malaysia's 2050 net-zero ambitions.”The IGEM, CETA and MobilityX Exhibition will feature over 500 exhibitors and sponsors, and is expecting an audience size of nearly 50,000 attendees, including energy professionals from across the region, with a view to exploring and procuring critical solutions that will help them grow their businesses.Organised by The Co_Lab Pte Ltd, CETA is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), with the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) as its strategic partner and PETRONAS as its Industry Patron.To register and for more information, please visit www.ceta.asiaAbout CETAThe Clean Energy Transition Asia (CETA) Exhibition and Summit is the premier event in Asia focused on driving the region’s energy transition by uniting the clean energy and hydrocarbon sectors.

Global Advanced Metals Partners With Department of Defense to Re-Establish Niobium Oxide Production Capabilities

Global Advanced Metals Partners With Department of Defense to Re-Establish Niobium Oxide Production Capabilities

BOYERTOWN, Pa., Sept 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Global Advanced Metals (GAM), a leading global producer of metallurgical products, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to re-establish defense-critical niobium oxide production. The project, supported by a $26.4 million award from the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization directorate, leverages GAM's existing tantalum production in Boyertown, Pennsylvania.GAM LogoThe DOD's capital contribution will accelerate the development of the United States' first niobium oxide production in over 30 years. Niobium oxide is a precursor to high-purity superalloys in advanced aircraft, rocket systems, and various other defense platforms. GAM's public-private partnership forms a key component of the DOD's ongoing efforts to solidify the U.S. aerospace and defense industrial base."GAM is proud to contribute to strengthening U.S. and allied capability by mitigating supply vulnerabilities previously exploitable by our adversaries," said GAM's CEO, Andrew O'Donovan. "Every opportunity to decrease adversarial influence over defense supply chains should be taken, and we are delighted that the DOD chose to support GAM in this endeavor.""Pennsylvania has built and powered our Nation for generations, so it's no surprise that workers in Berks County will soon produce critical minerals to make the aircraft, rocket systems, and other equipment our military needs to ensure our national security," said U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA). "I advocated for our Commonwealth to tackle this critical mineral risk so that we can continue the proud tradition of supporting our warfighters and the Department of Defense as a whole.""As a former chemistry teacher and Air Force officer, I've been championing efforts on critical mineral supply chains and the importance of bringing related manufacturing back to the U.S. since I first arrived in Congress," said U.S. Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). "So when I visited Global Advanced Metals (GAM) in Berks County last year, I was in awe of their state-of-the-art operations - I knew GAM and companies like them have the blueprint we need to reduce reliance on countries like China for critical minerals. I'm so thrilled to hear GAM is receiving a $26.4 million award for niobium processing and manufacturing of defense-critical materials! With this federal investment, more jobs in our community will be created and our national security will be strengthened."About GAMA leading conflict-free tantalum producer, GAM has exclusive rights to the world's largest industrial resources of tantalum ore located in Western Australia.GAM produces conflict-free tantalum powders and metallurgical products at its Pennsylvania, USA and Aizu, Japan plants for a range of industries including electronics, aerospace, automotive, medical and chemical processing.GAM's smelting facilities in Japan and the USA were first declared "Conflict-Free" in 2010 under the former EICC/GeSI Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI) audit program and continue to maintain their conformance to the current Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) standard.Contact InformationKurt HabeckerSr. Marketing Managerkhabecker@globaladvancedmetals.com1 610-369-8220SOURCE: Global Advanced Metals Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HKTDC Export Confidence Index 3Q24: Positive exporter confidence amid solid sales

HKTDC Export Confidence Index 3Q24: Positive exporter confidence amid solid sales

HONG KONG, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong traders remain optimistic about their prospects with a sustained period of moderate growth believed to be underway. This was the key finding of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) Export Confidence Index for the third quarter of 2024 as released today.The Index – a quarterly review of the views and expectations of Hong Kong-based traders across a broad cross-section of industry sectors – showed that, despite a slight decline compared to the second quarter, underlying sentiment remains broadly positive. In another welcome outcome, the majority of the sub-indices remained in expansionary territory, a clear indication of widespread anticipation of continued growth.Putting the overall findings into context, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “Hong Kong exporters remain resilient, despite the uncertainty stemming from lingering trade tensions. Indeed, the majority of respondents reported no – or only minimal – impact from the recent round of trade restrictions and higher tariffs.”Strong sales and new ordersLooking at the findings in greater detail, the overall Current Performance Index rose by 1 point to 52.6, a development seen as reflecting strong sales and new orders, rising unit prices and expanding procurement activities. This was underlined by concurrent rises in the relevant Sub-Indices – the Trade Value Sub-Index (56.2, +2.5) and Procurement Sub-Index (57.3, +3.3). Although the Sales & New Orders Sub-Index recorded a moderate 1.8-point drop, it stayed resolutely in expansionary territory at 55.7.The Expectation Index also remained in expansionary territory at 51.4 even after a 2.9-point dip. This decrease was driven mainly by the 8.5-point decline in the Trade Value Expectation Sub-Index (down to 51.7), with traders expecting unit prices to increase only moderately.The same traders, however, remained optimistic about the outlook for sales and new orders (with a Sales & New Orders Expectation Sub-Index reading of 54.6); and look set to continue to expand their procurement activities (Procurement Expectation Sub-Index: 55.4).Overall, the findings suggest that the immediate future will be characterised by moderate, sustained export growth.Cost pressures lessen, but remain major concernIt was also apparent that costs remained the major drag on exporter confidence in the third quarter. While both the Current and Expectation Cost Sub-Index showed some improvement, scores remained at about the 35 level, an indication that exporters are still facing strong cost pressures.In terms of Current Performance, exporters have seen increased Sales and New Orders across all their key markets. With regard to outlook (Expectation), exporters were most upbeat about the ASEAN bloc (59.7) and mainland China (58.4).By industry, the third quarter saw an improvement in Current Performance across all sectors. In terms of prospects for the near-term, Clothing exporters are the most optimistic at 61.2, followed by Toys (58.7) and Jewellery (56.4).Looking to the immediate future, Nicholas Fu, Senior Economist with HKTDC Research, said: “Exporters from five out of the six key sectors expect the current positive business momentum to continue. Overall, Clothing exporters were the most upbeat, followed by those in the Toys and Jewellery sectors. While it is noteworthy that cost pressures are expected to stay high across all sectors, there is some possibility of a slight improvement further down the line.”In addition to addressing the standard index criteria, the latest survey also focused on several specific thematic questions with regard to the primary challenges facing exporters and the favoured forward strategies of participants. Responses here showed that:- High and rising costs (transport, labour, production and capital) were seen as the most significant challenges.- In order to mitigate any related risks, Hong Kong exporters intend to adopt more cautionary business strategies.- Regarding the impact of recent trade restrictions and higher tariffs on certain China-origin exports, 60% of respondents reported no impact on their business to date, while 39% expect only a moderate downside.- On the sustainability front, however, fewer than 20% of respondents were familiar with the EU's newly enacted Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulations (ESPR), which is expected to have a broad impact across many industry sectors.Notes for EditorsThe HKTDC Export Confidence Index was introduced in the first quarter of 2024. It is a composite of five sub-indices – Sales and New Orders, Trade Value, Cost, Procurement and Inventory – and seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of Hong Kong exporter sentiment.There are two primary / overall indices, one of which gauges the Current Performance in the present quarter, while the other considers the Expectation for the upcoming quarter via a weighted average of the following five sub-indices:- Sales and New Orders: This is an indication of overall export performance as well as the level of new export orders received by respondents. This index is compiled based on respondents' feedback regarding the prospects of each of their major export markets.- Trade Value: This focuses on tracking the movement of unit export prices.- Cost: This tracks cost pressures as they relate to day-to-day operations, including raw material prices / labour and other operational costs/ financing requirements. Compared with the other indices, it is an inverted index, with an index reading above 50 indicating a downward trend for costs, while a reading below 50 indicates an upward trend for costs.- Procurement: This is a measure of the input-buying activity of Hong Kong traders.- Inventory: This tracks the overall inventory levels held by respondents for present use and the upcoming quarter. An index reading above 50 indicates a lower-than-normal inventory level, while a reading below 50 indicates a higher-than-normal inventory level.To view this press release in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcReferences- HKTDC Research website: http://research.hktdc.com/- HKTDC Export Confidence Index 3Q24: Sustained Optimism Underpinned by Strong Sales and New Orders https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTgwNDk1NTM5OQPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4deCzLZHKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and Senior Economist Nicholas Fu (right) announced the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for the third quarter of 2024 at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Senior Economist Nicholas FuMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Autobrains Unveils Air2Road: Cutting-Edge Localization Technology for Automated Driving

Autobrains Unveils Air2Road: Cutting-Edge Localization Technology for Automated Driving

MUNICH, GERMANY & TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Autobrains, a global leader in AI-powered automotive solutions, is pleased to unveil its latest innovation: Air2Road, a breakthrough localization technology developed to enhance the capabilities of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving solutions. Powered by Autobrains' Liquid AI Technology, Air2Road delivers precise, real-time vehicle localization for safe and efficient navigation, even in challenging conditions such as occlusions, adverse weather, and complex urban environments.Autobrains' Air2Road Localization TechnologyFusing aerial images with ground images for highly precise and reliable localization.As the automotive industry accelerates toward fully autonomous vehicles, reliable and accurate localization is crucial for determining both vehicle position and the driving environment. Traditional localization systems, heavily reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or crowd-sourced maps, face significant challenges such as limited coverage, high costs, and susceptibility to interference. Additionally, these systems rely on a single source of sensor-based information, leading to frequent errors and over-reliance on one type of input during driving."Air2Road is a game-changer for autonomous driving technology," said Igal Raichelgauz, CEO and Founder of Autobrains. "By providing multimodal redundancy and unmatched precision, Air2Road pushes the boundaries of what's achievable in vehicle navigation and safety, ensuring autonomous systems operate reliably under even in the most challenging conditions."Air2Road sets a new standard for vehicle localization by combining Signatures derived from two independent modalities - aerial imagery and ground-based perception - ensuring multimodal redundancy and accuracy. These Signatures are sparse binary hyperdimensional representations of both the driving environment and objects within it. This innovative approach overcomes many of the limitations inherent in traditional systems. These include:Multimodal Redundancy: By creating a joint representation of Signatures from two independent modalities (aerial images and ground-based data), Air2Road enables an unprecedented advantage of multimodal redundancy. Other existing systems use a fleet of vehicles with similar ground-based data sources, which increases repetitive mistakes and dependency on a single source of information.Full coverage: Unlike GNSS-based systems, Air2Road, with its Signature-based technology, continues to function effectively even under trees, bridges, between buildings, and in any other scenario with bad reception of the GNSS signal.Aerial Perception: Aerial images generate additional data layers-such as road markings, traffic signs, and obstacles-enabling safer and more efficient driving decisions and a redundancy to real-time perception.Scalable and Efficient: Traditional localization systems, such as crowd-sourced maps, require a fleet of vehicles to repeatedly traverse roads for data harvesting and building the map before the localization service becomes available for any vehicle. In contrast, Air2Road, enables the first vehicle on the road to achieve precise localization instantly, ensuring scalable deployment across various regions without compromising accuracy.Cost-Effective: Air2Road is compatible with affordable aerial imagery from multiple vendors, and its compressed Signatures technology enables large areas to be stored directly on the vehicle. This allows for a low-memory, low-bandwidth system, eliminating the need for constant cloud connectivity.Environment-Aware Path Planning: By leveraging real-time data on road conditions, traffic flow, and parking areas, Air2Road supports safer, more optimized navigation.Inspired by the human brain's ability to process multisensory information, Air2Road replicates mechanisms such as situational awareness and attention focus to ensure accurate decision-making. By filtering out irrelevant data and focusing on critical elements like road edges and buildings, the system significantly improves localization precision.With its data-driven approach and revolutionary dual-modality technology, Air2Road is poised to redefine the future of localization, facilitating safer and more reliable autonomous driving solutions.For more information about Autobrains and its cutting-edge Liquid AI and ADAS solutions, please visit autobrains.ai.Contact InformationSophia EichlerDirector of Marketingmedia@autobrains.ai+49 15167066494SOURCE: Autobrains Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Q2 Metals Drills 188.6 M Interval of Continuous Spodumene-Pegmatite and Concludes the 2024 Summer Drill Campaign at its Cisco Lithium Property, James Bay Quebec Canada

Highlights:An additional two (2) drill holes for approximately 1,188.1 metres (m) were completed during the Summer 2024 Drill Campaign and reported herein.Drill hole CS24-022 encountered 14 spodumene-pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 52.3 m.Drill hole CS24-023 encountered 15 spodumene-pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 188.6 m.Vancouver, BC, Sept 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Summer 2024 Drill Program at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada.The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property has concluded with a total of five (5) drill holes for approximately 2,609.9 m completed. Since May 2024, the Company has drilled a total of 6,359.7 m over 17 holes. All drill holes intercepted pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."To say it's been a very productive first drill season for Q2 Metals at our Cisco Lithium Property is an understatement," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. "The property continues to deliver, and we are pleased with what we're seeing and are eagerly awaiting the results from the now 13 drills holes that are yet to be reported.""We have been incredibly fortunate to be able to have built as much value in an early-stage project in four months. We have just started on the Cisco Project and look forward to receiving the assays on the holes drilled as we continue to move forward with Cisco," said Q2 Metals VP of Exploration Neil McCallum.The Summer 2024 Drill Campaign was focused on exploring the connection of the wide, continuous pegmatite zones that were encountered in holes CS24-010, CS24-018 and CS24-021. The last two holes of the season continued to confirm and expand the understanding of the main pegmatite zone.The geological team has completed the core cutting and logging of the last two (2) drill holes (CS24-022 to 023) of the Summer 2024 Campaign and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d'Or, QC for mineral analysis to confirm the presence of lithium. The visual results of drill holes CS24-022 and CS24-023 are herein reported.Summer 2024 Drilling UpdateFigure 1. Map of Drilling area, Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS24-022 was drilled on the same line as hole CS24-018 and collared 200 metres behind it, encountering 14 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals. Nine (9) intervals were greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 52.3 m.CS24-023 was drilled at the same collar location as hole CS24-020 in order to test the southern strike direction of the main large continuous pegmatite zone. Drill hole CS24-023 encountered 15 individual spodumene pegmatite intervals of which eight (8) intervals were greater than 10 m wide, with the widest individual interval measuring 188.6 m.Table 1. Summary of Spodumene-Pegmatite intervals, Cisco PropertyFigure 2. Visual photo mapping the distance between hole CS24-023 and the CO1 outcrop measuring; 850 mTable 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco Property (CS24-022 to 023)The mineralized intervals in all the holes are not necessarily representative of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Cautionary Statement: The presence of pegmatites does not confirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or other lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks commonly associated with lithium mineralization; however, many pegmatites do not contain mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can only be confirmed with assaying.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 km east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples are shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li2O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.

Autobrains推出Air2Road:自动驾驶的尖端定位技术

Autobrains推出Air2Road:自动驾驶的尖端定位技术

德国慕尼黑和以色列特拉维夫, 2024年9月24日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Autobrains, 全球领先的人工智能汽车解决方案提供商,欣然推出其最新创新:Air2Road,这是一项突破性的定位技术,旨在增强先进驾驶辅助系统(ADAS)和自动驾驶解决方案的能力。基于Autobrains的液态人工智能技术,Air2Road提供精准的实时车辆定位,确保安全高效的导航,甚至在遮挡、恶劣天气和复杂城市环境等挑战性条件下也能表现出色。Autobrains的Air2Road定位技术 将空中图像与地面图像融合,实现高精度和可靠的定位。随着汽车行业加速向完全自动驾驶汽车迈进,可靠和准确的定位对于确定车辆位置和驾驶环境至关重要。传统定位系统主要依赖全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)或众包地图,面临覆盖范围有限、成本高和易受干扰等重大挑战。此外,这些系统依赖单一来源的传感器信息,导致频繁出现错误,并在驾驶过程中过度依赖一种输入类型。“Air2Road是自动驾驶技术的变革者,”Autobrains的首席执行官兼创始人Igal Raichelgauz表示。“通过提供多模态冗余和无与伦比的精度,Air2Road推动了车辆导航和安全领域的极限,确保自主系统在最具挑战性的条件下也能可靠运行。”Air2Road通过结合来自两种独立模式(空中图像和地面感知)的特征,设定了车辆定位的新标准,确保了多模态冗余和准确性。这些特征是对驾驶环境及其中物体的稀疏二进制高维表示。这种创新的方法克服了传统系统固有的许多限制,包括:多模态冗余:通过创建来自两种独立模式(空中图像和地面数据)的特征的联合表示,Air2Road实现了前所未有的多模态冗余优势。其他现有系统通常依赖于一车队使用相似的地面数据源,这增加了重复错误的可能性,并使其过度依赖单一信息来源。全面覆盖:与基于GNSS的系统不同,Air2Road凭借其基于特征的技术,即使在树木、桥梁、建筑物之间或任何GNSS信号接收不良的情况下,仍能有效运作。空中感知:空中图像生成额外的数据层,例如道路标线、交通标志和障碍物,从而支持更安全和更高效的驾驶决策,并为实时感知提供冗余。可扩展和高效:传统定位系统(如众包地图)需要一车队车辆反复行驶在道路上收集数据并构建地图,才能为任何车辆提供定位服务。而Air2Road使得首辆上路的车辆能即时实现精准定位,确保在各个地区可扩展部署且不妥协于准确性。成本效益:Air2Road兼容来自多个供应商的经济实惠的空中图像,其压缩的特征技术使得大面积数据能够直接存储在车辆上。这使得系统具备低内存和低带宽的优势,消除了对持续云连接的需求。环境感知路径规划:通过利用道路状况、交通流量和停车区域的实时数据,Air2Road支持更安全、更优化的导航。受到人脑处理多感官信息能力的启发,Air2Road复制了情境意识和注意力集中等机制,以确保准确的决策。通过过滤无关数据并关注关键元素,如道路边缘和建筑物,该系统显著提高了定位精度。凭借其数据驱动的方法和革命性的双模态技术,Air2Road将重新定义定位的未来,促进更安全、更可靠的自动驾驶解决方案。有关Autobrains及其尖端液态人工智能和ADAS解决方案的更多信息,请访问 autobrains.ai。联系信息Sophia EichlerDirector of Marketingmedia@autobrains.ai+49 15167066494来源: Autobrains Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
