ITS World Congress 2021: the innovation in mobility industry

Posted on by parifex@dmin

ITS World Congress spotlights innovation for mobility and transport

ITS professionals were thrilled to gather together after several months with no exhibitions for the ITS World Congress in Hamburg that focused on innovation and technology.

Some weeks ago, Hamburg welcomed thousands of transport and mobility professionals from around the world who finally gathered together since the pandemic began. This pending time has led to ambitious research and developments. According to Claire Legrand, Project Manager at PARIFEX, “Excitement was felt during this very first exhibition post pandemic. All the visitors, exhibitors, speakers, companies… were so pleased to meet again and see what their partners have become.” With more than 13,000 visitors, the ITS community has reasserted the major issues to improve mobility for every user: pedestrian, cars, trucks, bus, bikes…

Innovation

The congress has reveladed the latest technological progress: drones, no-contact ticketing systems, data collection systems…, attracting visitors’ curiosity. Marie-Pierre Aguirregabiria, Project Manager says “The ITS industry is rich in innovation through its dynamic players and numerous solutions and services. The sector is moving fast even if it is still looking for answers about the evolution of mobility. We are talking about many things, but there is still a lot to do to spread them worldwide.” The future is really building up by players who aim at offer a safer and eco-friendlier world to every user.

“The profession builds up today the world of tomorrow and tomorrow’s infrastructure to improve urban flows where every user could travel safely.”

Safety

Once again, road safety was the main topic of many debates. As speed has been identified by the World Health Organization as a key risk factor, it contributes to about 30% to 50% of deaths on the road. Auma Obama, Sauti Kuu Foundation Chairwoman that aims to give children all over the world an opportunity to realise their potential, pointed this plague during the Opening Ceremony. “I have espacially liked the Auma Obama’s speech that highlighted different transport issues, like in Africa.”, says Claire Legrand. Indeed, she rightly reminds that road accidents are still the major cause of death on the Kenyan roads. A substantive work will be necessary to change people’s behaviour and reduce speed violation, pedestrian injuries, etc. Cutting-edge solutions allow to strengthen safety on roads and in city centers such as speed enforcement, control of priority, traffic light, etc. According to Marie-Pierre Aguirregabiria, other global players are affected by road safety issues “We met developing markets in mobility such as countries in Eastern Europe, like Romania and Estonia. Countries worldwide are involved in improving road safety even if it is at different scales.”

Core challenges faced by the public transport industry

Posted on by parifex@dmin

Claire Legrand, Project Manager in Parifex, talks about core challenges faced by the public transport industry.

What are the core challenges faced by the public transport industry in relation to traffic management?

The greatest challenge nowadays is to improve road safety for all users. Speed has been identified by the World Health Organization as a key risk factor, influencing both the risk of a road crash as well as the severity of the injuries. Speed contributes to about 30% to 50% of deaths on the road. This relationship between speed and injury severity is particularly critical for vulnerable road users as pedestrians or cyclists. Therefore, an effective speed enforcement system is the most efficient way of reducing road mortality. It is even more effective when you can adapt speed levels to the conditions meaning when the risk is higher (with rain, congestion, category of vehicle..). Once the safety of the users is guaranteed, the more important thing is to improve the user experience for all users and inhabitants.

We are also convinced that we are facing a deep ecological challenge for the future. According to the UN, 68% of the world population will live in a city by 2050 including an increase in the number of vehicles, traffic flows and inevitably congestions. The challenge will be to be able to reduce congestions and noise pollution, improving traffic flows and assisting drivers.

We are very aware of these challenges and we want to be involved in this evolution by helping local communities and governments to build a safer and more eco-friendly transport offer.

What solutions can PARIFEX offer the industry to overcome these challenges?

PARIFEX offers multifunctional systems that can address all the challenges at once : primarily developed for speed and red light enforcement, they are also great tools to deliver essential data to help traffic management : origin-destination matrix, very precise counting and statistics.

It provides a complete mapping of urban traffic flows in order to reduce congestion, manage flows and then reduce carbon emissions. Obviously, it also enables to improve users’ comfort who benefit from a fluid and pleasant journey.

Regarding our solutions, we have decided to combine 3D-LiDAR technology with a camera which provides a really innovative system that can : work with all wheather conditions, analysis data in real time thanks to quick processing, see colors etc. Our sensor is very precise, we got French certification, and adaptable since you can adjust the speed limit according to the category of vehicle detected and the lane of the vehicle, and to other parameters such as weather or congestion. Our solutions are adapted for urban areas and for highways. It’s the Swiss army knife making the operators’ use easier through the compact and light system and its user-friendly interface.

What are PARIFEX’s long-term goals for the public transport industry?

As every company, PARIFEX plays a role in protecting the environment. And the company is already involved in an eco-responsible approach through an environmental policy for its products, partners, and customers, the measure of its carbon footprint, the promotion of everyday responsible habits, to name but a few. And our products are included in this policy we have engaged for several years now. We would like to help the public transport industry to offer a safer and a better world, where every one has a safe and respected spot: pedestrian, cyclist, scooter, light vehicle, truck, bus… Make sure that everyone can travel according to its needs and constraints in harmony with the environment.

Local renewable energies: what if we become our own energy producer?

Posted on by parifex@dmin

As renewable energies must be at least 23% in 2020 and at least 32% in 2030 of the French final energy consumption¹, territories must play a major role in the current context of ecological transition. Local renewable energies and diversified power sources are a great asset for territories and consumers who benefit from lower cost green energy. Geothermal, wind, biomass…, energies are produced according to local needs and depending on the specific features and resources of each territory. The production of clean energy is an issue for companies as well that could benefit from the local production advantages.

Production depends on local people’s needs

There are different kinds of renewable energy such as hydraulic, wind, solar, and bio energy. Each community must consider its specific features in order to produce appropriate power to the local use in a good legal frame. There are three major ways to produce renewable energy:

  1. Electricity (as solar and wind energy) ;
  2. Heat (as wood and solar) ;
  3. Gas (methanisation).

An analysis of the territory is necessary to map a global view of the local economic players, the existing local channels and the different power sources. The cooperative clean energy production enables to improve the local governance, encourage the co-construction, and make citizens understand the issues. 

Nowadays producing energy suffers high costs of production, delivery, etc., and requires huge area of land. What if territories create small power stations as closely as possible to users? Everyone could produce its own energy. Close to Paris, people are encouraged to find local renewable energy stations. Some neighborhoods have bet on geothermic production and solar panels generate needed heat. It is also an attractive solution for energy providers since the unused power is redirected to traditional channels.

Involving companies in the process of local renewable energies

More and more companies tend to initiate a reflection on their consumption and produce their own renewable energy. This new way of production seems to be one the major solutions to achieve regulated carbon neutrality and then reduce their impact on climate change. Reducing the carbon balance is the very first step to control the company impact on climate change². The French Ecological Transition Agency has created funds to support companies with an energy program³.  Some of them already produce their own energy such as the Algerian LR1 pipeline equipped with solar panels that produce only the necessary power. PARIFEX helps companies to search generating equipment and, supply, and install generating equipments wordwide.

NEWSLETTER #3 – Editorial by Franck Peyré, CEO OF PARIFEX

Posted on by parifex@dmin

Dear partner,

The first half of 2021 has been as dynamic as expected. More than a year after the pandemic began, we are pleased to be able to provide the same quality of service while teleworking. Actually, we are working with staff representatives on an agreement in order to keep on using telework and offer better work conditions to our employees.

In March, Iran inaugurated the gorgeous Persian Gulf Bid Boland gas refinery. Bid Boland will have an annual production capacity of, inter alia, 10.4 million tons of methane and 1.5 million tons of ethane. We are proud to have taken part in this ambitious project as main automation contractor providing integrated control and safety systems with our partner Sazeh Consultants. This project opens a new chapter for the future of the gas market, its challenges and opportunities.

Regarding the mobility market, we are pleased to see/note that the major mobility events are held in 2021. Some weeks ago, the last Autonomy Digital edition was a success and highlighted the high expectations from the digitalization of mobility. This 2.0 edition gathered together professionals of transport from all over the world who share a common goal to draw with citizens the outlines of new mobility. And the year is not over since we will meet soon at the ITS World Congress in Hamburg.

To conclude, we are proud to announce our partnership with Ouster, providing high-resolution lidar sensors, to offer superior imaging of the environment. The French Ministry of the Economy and Finance has allowed PARIFEX to use the 3D-Lidar technology in its speed control and data collection systems.

I wish you a wonderful summer and look forward to meeting you in September in a serene context.

Shared mobility, citizens and mobility, sustainable issues… the key topics of Autonomy Digital

Posted on by parifex@dmin

Autonomy Digital 2021, the international show dedicated to sustainable mobility, is now over. Mobility professionals met virtually to think about the future of mobility and share the growing policies and good practices. Citizens and mobility, green energy, shared mobility… transport digitalization has really begun.

Adina Vălean, EU Commissioner for Transport at European Commission, and the EU strategy

Transports are essential to society. This was how Adina Vălean launched Autonomy Digital 2021. Regarding the mobility digitalization, she highlighted the necessity to be more ambitious and to adopt a strong strategy. According to the Romanian politician, the pandemic has actually changed travel behaviors and encouraged the use of electric cars and e-bikes on which it is necessary to focus on. Transport digitalization is speeding up and travelers tend to use more and more shared mobility solutions. Mobility is one of the EU priorities for the next ten years with the ambition to provide reliable, automated, flexible, and safe services. The environment is at the heart of the strategy as well in order to increase sustainable transports. And there is plethora of solutions to decongest cities and reduce traffic jams responsible for climate change. The Commissioner reminds that mobility is everyone’s matter and must be accessible to anyone, regardless the local strategy.

Leuven bets on citizens and mobility

Leuven, in East Belgium, is the well known European capital of innovation where the community seems to have found the winning recipe by involving citizens in its mobility politics. According to the Alderman mobility David Dessers, citizens are the key for such successful change. The Leuven 2030 society has been created to make people decide on the future of the city.

They are often asked in order to define the modes of transports they really need. For Leuven, involving citizens in the mobility evolution is the best way to make them accept the city changes in the following years. Leuven aims to double the number of bike user as well. Actually, the number has already increased by 44% between 2016 and 2019 while the car use has decreased. Moreover, local authorities are pursuing both mobility and climate policies together in order to reduce the consumption of CO2. The Belgian city bets also on a deep changing in behaviors through a larger pedestrian zone.

The Milan electrical challenge

Milan has a large transport network including metro, bus, trams, and trolley lines. Faced with the environmental challenge, the Italian city has decided to generalize electric shared vehicles. That is why 70% of the vehicles is now powered by green energy produced by photovoltaic panels in the city town. Milan plans to deploy full electric solutions such as 1,200 electric bus, renew bus depots and provide charging infrastructures.

Road Safety Can Now Rely on 3D-LiDAR Technology

Posted on by parifex@dmin

Technology has already been getting into the mobility market for several years. Regarding road safety, PARIFEX chose the 3D-LiDAR technology to strengthen its speed control systems.

3D-LiDAR, the outsider in speed control systems

The 3D-LiDAR sensor creates a 3D map through point clouds and makes it accurate to the centimeter. “PARIFEX has decided to include the 3D-LiDAR in its existing solutions to meet French Ministry of Interior needs. Indeed, the French Ministry needed a fixed sensor including a wide field of vision. That is why PARIFEX chose this technology including a 360 degree vision unlike the traditional speed cameras able to scan a limited field of view.”, says Désiré Codo, PARIFEX’s R&D Director. Even though most of 3D-LiDAR sensors have been designed for a mobile use, principally for autonomous vehicle management, PARIFEX decided to distort it and add  it in its fixed road sensors including NANO and NANO-CAM sensors. 

A 360-Degree view

Set up overhead, the 3D-LiDAR sensor enables a 360- Degree view and then a better space detection than other sensors. “Unlike an usual speed control system that needs a specific orientation, the small and light 3D-LiDAR sensor is easy to set up in any orientation and requires little processing power to offer reliable and accurate control.” precises Codo.

3D-LiDAR vs camera

According to him “The 3D-LiDAR offers better capabilities than the camera. Even though the camera detects the reality with two-dimensional images whose quality depends on daylight, the 3D-LiDAR gets a 3D point cloud with a constant quality whether in daylight as well as at night, even if in humidity conditions. The point clouds are lighter than an HD image and that makes 3D LiDAR a strong solution for onboard real time solutions.” Through the quick image processing time, it enables an increased reactivity and real time data collection. Moreover, the reliable reality modelling allows a better vehicle classification.

A unique sensor

While various sensors were necessary to classify different kinds of vehicles such as cars, trucks, motobikes…, only one 3D sensor is enough for a multiple detection. “With a unique sensor, the risk of desynchronization between sensors disappears since all the data came from the same device in real time.” adds Codo.

Cities and the road safety challenges

Posted on by parifex@dmin

Speed is one of the cities’ road safety challenges and it is not the only risk on the roads and throughout the city streets. The increase in modes of transport like bikes and scooters has brought an increase in dangerous behavior. While roads and streets cannot be stretched, local authorities have to find solutions to get all the users to live together.

Speed control

Reducing speed in urban areas is often the first step to reduce accidents, that is why vehicle speed is already limited to 30km per hour in many city centers. Local authorities are struggling to be able to accurately detect speed infringement, and especially including criteria such as the multi lane detection, the vehicle classification, two-wheeled vehicles… Some cutting-edge speed control systems allow to get more than the precise vehicle speed measurement and offer the distance detection, the vehicle tracking through the 3D LiDAR technology, etc.

But not only

Given the increase in vehicles and individual means of transport, especially since the beginning of the COVID crisis, infringement go on even more increasing. The capability to manage the circulation flows and to get them to live together remains one of the man issues for local authorities. The diversified users have brought many infringement possibilities such as running red lights, circulating on bus or cycle lanes, right-of-way violations… Cities need to count and identify all the users using roads and streets, every type of vehicle and pedestrian, in order to be able to detect every possible infringement.

A better traffic flow management through appropriate infrastructures

Traffic issues include environmental issues because of the direct impact of the increase in circulation on the environment and health. While more than 50% of the global population live in the town, the UN forecasts that they will be 60% by 2030. Road safety challenges have become one of the major issues regarding urban infrastructure and the increase in modes of transport involves the appropriate management of all the traffic flows. Some solutions allow to accurately identify and classify the different road users, count them and then collect data necessary to adapt the urban infrastructure.
