Future Of World Smart Transportation Market

The epoch of the smart transportation market has been remarkable so far. It gets more engaging as its vendors venture to experiment with deep learning.

The smart transportation market experience

Remember those long ticketing queues, and those hours of wait before you could get to know the availability status alone? A couple of decades ago, automatic fare collection and ticket vending machines was the future plan. That future, is now. We live in a generation, where embedded devices in machines enable automatic fare collection and simultaneous data entry. Travel authorities can keep a constant check on mode and route of travel at multiple nodes. In addition, the authorities ensure that passengers are kept informed through appropriate guidance through the course of travel. With enough knowledge of moving traffic over route, a general estimation is drawn for the design of parking. A driver can confidently drive-in at a facility be rest assured of ample parking space, whereas, the facility owner has a detailed profile of who and what is passing through. An integrated supervision system and traffic management system adds convenience in today’s fast-moving lives. Collectively, the standalone installations feed inputs to multiple back-end computers in a distributed or central network. Once, big data analytics and deep learning arrives in the picture, the smart transportation industry exhibits immense future scope for getting even smarter.

Smart transportation market: Need of the hour

An extraordinary degree of technological advancements has been incorporated in the transport segment over previous decade. Global smart transportation market has evolved significantly; from basic traffic and vehicular support to more complex integrated supervision systems. Advanced applications, rule the mindset of current population. An intelligent transport system (ITS) is what wins the trust of any consumer looking forward to logistic solutions. It is quite obvious, if one thinks of all extended support that accompanies an integrated traveling environment. It becomes a lot easier to know what is being transferred, in what amount, where all it has left its footprints, and the events that occur midway. Although, a vast amount of back support is required for developing these systems. The solution vendors range from small local players and mid-sized enterprises to huge corporate giants, which manage their services right across the face of the globe.

Right after the European Union (EU) declared its directives binding the European operations within a legal framework, entire global smart transportation market took the hint. It adapted accordingly, supporting the idea of a more efficient network that functions within a cleaner and safer environment. Objective of the EU directive match the requirements which led to the emergence of smart transportation market. A correct structure enhances the driving and traveling experience despite the booming increase in on-road vehicles. Regional administration offices are equipped with real-time data which helps them reduce the risks of traffic blocks. Automatic rerouting instructions are carried out, as soon as any sort of congestion is detected. Adherence to safety measures is easily monitored, effectively penalized or rewarded, and hence, consequently lower the numbers of accidents. The use of green fuels, as an alternative to the conventional, is encouraged under an intelligent transport system. Several concessions and privileges are provided to stimulate its adoption rates among the non-users.

Sensors in Consumer Electronics That Improve Security and Enhance Overall Interactive Experience

Consumer electronics are electronic equipment used in day-to-day life, such as flat screen TVs, smart phones, personal computers, laptops, and others. Sensors play a crucial role in efficient operation of these devices. Increasing demand of customers for superior quality, slim design, high energy efficiency, and other features have enforced manufacturers to incorporate sensors in consumer electronic devices. Various sensors, such as temperature sensor, speed sensor, electronic sensors, and others have been installed inside laptops, smartphones, game consoles, and other devices to provide enriching experience and convenience to users.

Various sensors in smartphones:

There are various sensors used in smartphones that provide ease-of-use and security to users. The most basic sensor used in smartphone is accelerometer, which determines the orientation of device among three axes and rotates screen in portrait or landscape mode. Gyroscope also provides information about orientation, but with more precision than accelerometer. Few high-end devices have barometer, a sensor that measures atmospheric pressure and determines the distance above sea level, which in turn, results in enhanced GPS accuracy. A light sensor measures the brightness of ambient light and adjusts the brightness of display. A proximity sensor, which is placed at the earpiece of a phone, sends information to system that user is attending a call and display screen is turned off by system to save energy.

Apple’s technology and acquisition of patents:

Touch ID on iPhone and iPad enables users to unlock devices with their fingerprints. A user places finger on Home Button and a sensor residing underneath that button determines whether fingerprint matches with stored data. Home Button is made up of sapphire crystal that protects sensor and acts as a lens. Sensor used in Touch ID scans the details of fingerprint with precision and creates a mathematical representation. Then, it compares this representation with stored data to identify the match and unlock the device. In this way, sensors can be used in consumer electronics for security purposes.

Apple has acquired 26 out of 31 original patents of Privaris, a biometric technology firm. These patents are related to fingerprint and touchscreen technology. The acquisition of patents aims to improve Touch ID on iPhone and iPad. Apple is planning to eliminate physical Home Button and introduce a virtual Home Button by creating a multi-touch display with the help of integrated fingerprint technology. As per the reports from CNN, one of the patents acquired from Privaris enable users to use fingerprint technology and touchscreen at the same time. A fingerprint scanner residing beneath the screen can scan the finger through phone’s display. In this way, Apple will be able to create an iPhone with an edge-to-edge screen. Furthermore, Apple uses biometric sensors for authentication to authorize credit card payments using its Apple Pay service.

'Smart' Devices At Home May Be Vulnerable To Hackers

Cyber security expert Etay Maor warns about the changing threats of cyber criminals.

SINGAPORE — When cyber-security expert Etay Maor tested a hacking tool in his home, he was surprised to discover 16 household appliances trying to connect to his Internet. Upon expanding the range to the nearby vicinity, it easily picked up more than 100 devices in the neighbourhood, from Bluetooth devices to fitness trackers, all connected to the Internet.

Innocuous as they may seem, these “smart” appliances could give cyber-criminals a playground to wreak havoc by taking control of your devices, or eventually provide a gateway into stealing personal information in your home system.

Mr Maor, 37, who is IBM Security’s executive adviser and who was in Singapore for a conference earlier this week, warned that with people being increasingly plugged in to smart devices, tech-savvy hackers could move beyond laptops and mobiles to infiltrate their networks.

“With companies offering more (services) like online banking, and with the Internet of Things, there’s going to be (greater) threats and attack vectors for criminals,” he told TODAY.

Earlier this month, the Cyber Security Agency here reported that Singapore was a “prime target” for cyber-criminals, with 16 waves of online attacks hitting the Republic’s shores since April last year. This comes even as there is an outcry over the move to disallow Internet surfing on civil servants’ work computers that are used to access the Government’s internal networks.

Attacks may come in many forms, ranging from “overlay attacks” which replicate applications such as banking apps, to malware that records videos of users’ screens, Mr Maor said.

While the malware used is still largely the same, what has changed is how readily tools are available online, and cyber-criminals may get them “for sale or rent within seconds”, he added.

Attacks are also increasingly being customised to local contexts, where criminals design malware using the local language, or conduct intelligence operations to suss out how companies work.

Now, even ordinary individuals without specialised skills may band together to form a “collaborative and supportive community” to create sophisticated attacks. Remaining anonymous, they exchange tips freely, seek advice in underground forums, and rate each other’s skills, said Mr Maor.

Increasingly, these shady figures are going beyond targeting financial institutes to stealing personal data or records from healthcare organisations and insurance firms, he added.

Teen Girls Getting The Coolest Wearable Out There

JEWELBOTS are bracelets with programmable plastic flowers made for middle-school girls. They’re also the most interesting wearable which is seen this year.

Their creators describe them as “friendships bracelets that teach girls to code.” Compared to a gleaming Apple Watch or even an entry-level Fitbit, the Jewelbot hardware is primitive: a semi-translucent plastic flower charm that slides onto a hair tie–like elastic bracelet. The functionality is basic, too. The charms talk to each other over Bluetooth, and using a Jewelbots smartphone app, youngsters can program their charms to vibrate or light up when their friends are nearby. But despite their apparent simplicity, Jewelbots exhibit some truly fresh thinking about wearable technology. And with a little imagination, they hint at devices far more interesting than today’s computer watches.

Jewelbots was co-founded by Sara Chipps, Brooke Moreland, and Maria Paula Saba. Chipps is a developer and co-founder of Girl Develop It, a nonprofit that teaches women to code. Moreland is an entrepreneur with experience in high-tech fashion products, and Saba is a graduate of NYU’s ITP program, now studying Bluetooth and Arduino as a post-doc fellow. But before Jewelbots was a product, it was a shared ambition. More than any particular feature or function, the group wanted to build something that would get teenage girls interested in programming.

The idea took shape over several years. The group started by looking at products like MySpace and Minecraft that had successfully enticed kids to dabble in code. “We kind of wanted to reverse engineer that,” Chipps says. These examples were reassuring. They proved that if kids are genuinely interested in an outcome or effect—building a unique Minecraft structure, say, or tricking out their Myspace profiles—they won’t shy away from code as a means to achieve it.
