Trams in Florence, Italy, equipped with traffic data sensors with AV functionality

It has been announced that three smart trams, running in Florence, Italy, have been equipped with multiple sensors, including cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs), radar and lidar, while three tram stops are being equipped with sensing, computation and communication capabilities, paving the way to a next-generation intelligent transport environment. Data gathered from the trams is to be fused with the data gathered from the tram stops using AI, to create real-time traffic information for city managers, revealing the movement of not only trams, but also citizens and vehicles. And in the future the sensors could help to enable autonomous operation of the trams.') } // --> ') } else { console.log ('nompuad'); document.write('') } // -->') } else { console.log ('nompuad'); document.write(' ') } // --> ') } else if (width >= 425) { console.log ('largescreen'); document.write('') } else { console.log ('nompuad'); document.write('') } // -->The initiative is part of the innovative computing infrastructure developed by the EU-funded project ELASTIC. “This lays the basis for our next step: that of an active interaction between the vehicles and the city.”
