AUTOMETA Consortium: Collaboration for Autonomous Mobility and Smart Cities

🌍 Empowering EMEA with Precise Positioning — Together with Swift Navigation I’m excited to share that Quectel is a proud partner in Swift Navigation’s Partner Program, now the largest hardware ecosystem for centimeter-accurate GNSS/GPS. This partnership is especially impactful for our EMEA customers by enabling: ✅ Seamless integration with Swift’s Skylark correction service ✅ Faster deployment of high-precision GNSS solutions ✅ Reduced development costs and time-to-market ✅ Freedom to choose from various Quectel high-precision modules Whether you're building solutions in robotics, automotive, asset tracking or fleet management, Quectel and Swift Navigation together offer a robust, scalable path to precision. 📩 If you're in EMEA and want to explore how this partnership can benefit your business, feel free to reach out to me directly! 🔗 Read more about the program https://lnkd.in/dYSyii_8 #GNSS #PrecisionPositioning #Quectel #SwiftNavigation #EMEA #Partnership #Skylark #FleetManagement #Robotics #Automotive #AssetTracking #GPS

IRT SystemX releases the 𝐂𝐂𝐀𝐌 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥, a user-friendly platform that allows mobility operators and local authorities to extensively configure CCAM services: demand-responsive transport, automated shuttles, autonomous fleets.  The platform features thorough impact assessment in study areas and provides a wide range of KPIs relevant to end-users, operators and investors. Under the hood, the tool leverages highly detailed agent-based simulations using open-source software and a replicable and extensible methodology. This solution was developed as part of the SINFONICA Project and presented in Brussels on August 28 to a large panel of experts. The challenges associated with inclusivity and the development of large-scale CCAM solutions were at the heart of the discussions.  The CCAM Designer tool is publicly accessible at https://lnkd.in/eZwBf4gZ Feel free to reach out to learn more and discuss how this work can be extended to other types of CCAM services, KPIs and study areas.

We’re kicking off September with a new milestone in the NeMo.bil project! During the first automated demonstration drives of an INYO Cab at Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport, the transition from the development phase to the testing phase was successfully completed – a significant step towards individualized, resource-efficient public transport in rural areas. Congratulations to the entire NeMo.bil project team! A special highlight: as part of the demo drives, the membership certificate was presented to CP Tech – a strong sign of the collaborative partnership within the project. With small, electric cabs that pick up passengers right at their doorstep, and the concept of having them pulled over longer distances in a convoy by a larger Pro vehicle, NeMo.bil demonstrates a unique efficiency concept. CP Tech contributes its expertise in interface management, system integration, and the prototypical build-up of the Pro vehicle – central to the development of the digital ecosystem and the vehicle-side implementation. Stay tuned – we’ll keep you updated on our role in the NeMo.bil project! Quick tip: the CP calendar with the current design can be downloaded at https://lnkd.in/dJpXPMgd. #CPTech #performancemindset #calendar #futuremobility #NeueMobilität

🚗 In July, Elaphe hosted two EU project General Assemblies and a high-energy track demo day at AMZS Vransko! We were proud to welcome development partners from across Europe—part of the SmartCorners, HighScape, and EM-TECH project —and showcase how in-wheel motors and high-speed control unlock a whole new level of driving experience. From sharper cornering to smoother torque control and silent power—this is the kind of fun, responsive, and safe electric mobility we believe in. International journalists joined us on the test track to feel the difference for themselves. Big thanks to everyone who joined and keeps pushing the limits of what electric vehicles can feel like. #InWheelMotors #Elaphe #SmartCorners #HighScape #EMTECH #EUProjects #MobilityInnovation #FutureOfMobility #ElectricVehicles #DrivingInnovation #VehicleDynamics #FunToDrive #NextGenEVs

🌊 Cambridge Pixel is contributing to a software solution to help the National Physical Laboratory improve the safety and reliability of autonomous surface vessel navigation by providing multi-thread sensor recording. The system is being employed by the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to capture and analyse multiple radar and sensor datasets from sea trials at Plymouth and an inland testing capability at Wraysbury Reservoir. Cambridge Pixel's products enable NPL researchers to capture calibrated traffic within Plymouth Sound with the purpose of comparing what an autonomous vessel “observes” in real-world conditions and assuring their decision-making in complex maritime environments.

At #FICC2025, Leonardo Vezzani shared how a simple lab visit in Turin with Reply Cluster—testing augmented reality applications—evolved into something much bigger. A casual exchange about driving simulators sparked a six-month collaboration, resulting in a ROS-backed Carla simulator designed to advance their ecosystem. From applications to entirely new branches of innovation, his story shows how unexpected conversations can shape the future of mobility.
