The business requirement for lower costs and the environmental need for lower emissions offer a daunting challenge to transportation. Take traffic congestion, for instance. INTRIX estimates that London drivers lost 156 hours sitting in congestion in 2022.1 Together with poorly planned fleet journeys, this causes productivity loss and additional CO2 emissions our planet can ill afford.
Intelligent transportation
Apart from moving away from fossil fuels, several technologies — on-board-computing artificial intelligence (AI) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications — must improve traffic flow, road safety, and emissions. For instance, machine vision can capture traffic changes, and AI predicts peak and off-peak periods to help regulate traffic lights and flow and reduce idling and emissions.
SINTRONES in-vehicle computers provide the hardware platform to enable such intelligent transportation. Its driving system alerts the driver of high energy consumption and advises them to avoid excessive acceleration when real-time consumption is greater than the average. The system controls the range of change offered by the accelerator pedal considering real-time road conditions. By delivering synchronous control of acceleration and braking, the SINTRONES system decreases energy consumption, increases driving range, and expands the vehicle’s recharging capacity.
SINTRONES in-vehicle smarts
The company’s VBOX-3630 fanless in-vehicle computer is the latest platform that utilizes the Intel 11th Gen Core i7-1185G7E CPU, clocking up to 4.4 GHz in an ultra-compact 250 x 165 x 55 mm chassis. Its modular design allows customization through industry-standard M.2 modules that allow the selection of up to 2 TB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, CAN Bus, and 5G/LTE connectivity. Other features include:
- OS: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Ubuntu, or Linux
- Memory: Up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM
- Input: 9 – 60 VDC with ignition control for EV installations
- Network: 1 x 2.5 GbE + 3 x GbE LAN port with M12X connectors
