Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the paradigm V2X

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the paradigm V2X

 

The advent of the new millennium has brought with it a technological maturation that has given rise to a predominant trend in the automotive market: the “in-vehicle” connection.

 

The complexity of devices embedded in cars has transformed them from simple autonomous systems into “systems of systems” (SoS). This includes the integrated central unit, displays, processors and the operating system that supports the connectivity of the various devices, from sensors to connectivity modules and protocols for interconnecting the various components.

 

The automobile has become a complex, connected entity geared to its integration into the V2X (Vehicle to Everything) paradigm. This equipping of wireless communication systems allows the car to connect with other vehicles (Vehicle-to-Vehicle, V2V), with the road infrastructure (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure, V2I) and with the network (Vehicle-to-Network, V2N).

 

The current scenario is characterized by a persistent duality: on the one hand, we have the complex evolution of in-vehicle architectures, and on the other hand, the integration of connection technologies outside the vehicle. This is happening through the introduction of long- and short-range wireless networks, which are fundamental to the development of the V2X paradigm and all its applications. In this context, the role of the development of 5G communication protocols and 802.11P is crucial. The former aims to become a benchmark in the automotive world by introducing “quality of service” features that support the development of applications that are highly dependent on message latency time. The second, on the other hand, refers to the IEEE 802.11 family of protocols, which includes WiFi. In particular, 802.11P is a specialization for the vehicle environment of this well-known short-range technology, and thus introduces support for so-called Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).

 

Intelligent Transport Systems help mitigate the shortfall of accurate and timely information, as well as overcoming insufficient cooperation between actors in the transport and infrastructure sector. This is done by providing sectoral coordination and ensuring proper data transmission. ITS affects virtually all mobility functions: from real-time traffic and weather data acquisition to access control and parking management; from variable message signs to integrated supervision and control centers; from systems for collective transport management to those for modal integration; from freight and passenger payment and sorting systems to platforms for logistics, parking and fleet management; from solutions for advanced vehicle control to platforms for transport safety and security; from satellite navigation systems to traffic light control systems to integrated speed detectors with CCTV cameras.

 

V2X communication is a key component of ITS, as it facilitates communication between vehicles on the road and enables vehicles to gather information about surrounding infrastructure facilities. The primary function of V2X communication systems is to improve road safety, save energy, and manage traffic efficiently. As a result, one of the main benefits of using ITS is the promotion of public safety. Other key benefits of adopting ITS include:

 

● Increasing Safety: The main reason for using ITS is to guarantee public safety on roads. In the past few years the trends of driving have changed, thereby increasing the number of road accidents. So, to avoid or get guidance before any accident has happened the ITS plays a vital role. ITS will guide the user using voice as well as giving alerts about traffic or congestion ahead, so that the user may act accordingly. With this the ratio of accidents will be decreased to some extent.

 

● Delivering environmental benefits: the major benefit of ITS is to deliver environment alerts if any are needed. The sensors are being placed along the road side so that they can record the temperature, humidity and other environmental factors. Calculating all the factors, the values will be sent to the central server where the values are stored in the database. If any user is subscribed to this activity he or she may get an alert about the environment. The forecast weather report will also be sent to the user.

 

● Capacity / Throughput: ITS also keeps a track of congestion even before it happens. Everything is done by obtaining the number of vehicles on each and every lane. If the number of vehicles is high on a single lane, then ITS takes the decision to route the traffic onto another lane or route. Thus, decreasing the risk of congestion of the particular lane/road. It also keeps tracks of the capacity of the vehicles running on the road at a particular time on any particular lane. It will also send an alert to users that at some particular time the congestion may well be high on some particular lanes/routes.

 

● Information Dissemination: There are many ways to deliver road congestion reports to users such as using Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), Variable Message Signs (VMS) and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR)

 

● Enhancing mobility and convenience: Intelligent transportation systems can be enhanced in satellite based vehicle navigation and various other applications which can deliver real time traffic information to the user. Users can check the status of traffic and other information about where they are heading before departing from their homes.

 

The vehicle, therefore, is no longer the sole focus of the mobility experience, but becomes a key element of an inter-connected ecosystem that includes smart road infrastructures, distributed sensors, public and private control centers, and uses modern technologies to create a connected mobility ecosystem.
The strong impact of the V2X paradigm in the current and future scenario is manifested in the technologies adopted that enable vehicles to collect large volumes of data produced by on-board systems and share it in real time through the network. This improves the “perception” of the surrounding environment and enhances driving safety, especially in view of autonomous driving. A moving vehicle generates data that can be exchanged punctually and synergistically with other users and infrastructure managers, or transmitted through the network to feed Big Data systems.

 

This process helps to gradually ensure the safety of the system – from a structural, digital, and routine maintenance point of view-by making traffic and transportation monitoring more efficient for safer mobility.

SITUM and ART: A marriage of skills and training for professional success.

SITUM and ART: A marriage of skills and training for professional success.

 

On Saturday, May 20, ART attended the graduation ceremony for the 49 participants of the 2nd Season of the School of Technological, Humanistic, Managerial Innovation (SITUM), as well as previews of the 3rd Season of SITUM.

 

The project has the ambition of creating a link between the demand for skills and personnel from the business world and economic and social operators and the educational programs of universities. This initiative has been made possible thanks to the collaboration between the Marche Polytechnic University, the University of Perugia and the University of L’Aquila, the Chambers of Commerce of Marche and Umbria and BPER Banca with the important contribution of companies, such as ART, which have opened their doors to the young participants of the two interuniversity courses.

 

The key words of the courses are: interdisciplinarity, entrepreneurship, openness, innovation, sustainability, territory.

 

At ART we have had the opportunity to organize two meetings under the banner of a synergistic exchange of skills and knowledge among faculty, managers and students. For both the Human Centric Engineering course and the Sustainability Management course, we tried to provide the most up-to-date view possible of present and future job prospects in ART, the skills required and possible development paths. In addition, we stimulated students’ reflection on the interaction between humans, technology and the territory.

 

Not only that, by hosting both courses and addressing the themes that are close to our hearts, such as the enhancement of resources and the long-term growth of the well-being of communities, we discussed and compared the different perspectives on soft skills: soft skills, which have become today, real key competencies to independently manage work and relate effectively in the work context.

OpenART 2023: An inclusive experience of sharing and enhancement

OpenART 2023: An inclusive experience of sharing and enhancement

 

ART continues its journey of inclusion! The OpenART 2023 event was a unique opportunity to share not only the magical location of Pischiello, but also its important historical background and our unique values. During this day, more than 600 people, including staff, family and friends, participated in an unforgettable experience. It was the perfect opportunity to breathe in the ART atmosphere and appreciate our daily commitment dedicated to an inclusive, sustainable and people-friendly process of growth.

 

An experiential journey:

OpenART was conceived as an experiential journey that both engaged and excited all participants.
The adventure began at the company parking area, where a fun little shuttle train took visitors to the charming Borgo del Pischiello.
For those who had never had the opportunity to visit ART’s offices, laboratories and production environments before there was the opportunity to take organized tours, in which even the employees themselves were more than happy to participate. The tour was even more magical since our headquarters is not usually open to external visitors.

 

Activities for all ages:

During the afternoon, a series of activities and workshops suitable for all ages were organized.
For younger children, games and entertainment were set up that had been designed to bring them closer to the world of scientific research. An area dedicated to robots made it possible to promote the development of computational thinking and coding while providing a fun experience. An original and fun science raffle was a “must”, as well as a creative-laboratory space where participants could build unusual flying objects and test their in-flight performance for daredevils of all ages.
For adults, the goal was to explore into the amazing combination of past and future that the wonderful ART location ensures. A unique show was organized, involving 10 cartoonists whose task was to portray the fantastic history of ART through their artistic talents.

 

Food and Entertainment:

As per tradition, street food carts delighted participants with high-quality products from with the surrounding area. A traveling band energized the atmosphere with its lively music.
The highlight of the entertainment was the setting of the Pischiello itself, a location surrounded by green woods and countryside with a centuries-old history and breathtaking views, which all contributed to the day by giving guests an unforgettable spectacle of nature.

 

OpenART 2023 was a true triumph, once again demonstrating our commitment to inclusion, sharing and excellence.
We will continue on our path, maintaining the unique values that set us apart and make each event a memorable experience for all participants.
Special thanks to all of our employees and their loved ones for making this day so unforgettable!

The miniaturisation of electronics

The miniaturisation of electronics

 

Ever smaller, faster, lighter and thinner: these are the requirements that electronic products have to fulfil. In recent years, the small form factor and system-on-chip integration have come to the fore in the technological offerings of both component manufacturers and system integrators, with the now clear objective of achieving ever smaller, ever more wearable, ever more interconnectable, ever more locally intelligent systems.

 

The strategies for pursuing these goals are varied, while the results are essentially the same: a reduction in size and power consumption at the same time as a corresponding increase in functionality.

 

Change is constant in the electronics industry. Since the birth of the transistor in the late 1940s, researchers have embarked on an evolutionary path focusing on miniaturization. A decade later, the first integrated circuit (IC) containing four transistors was developed by Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor.

 

We have seen how, in the 1960s, the automotive industry was mature enough to introduce the new transistor technology into the nascent car radios, which allowed for a further step of progressive reduction in size of the device.
Coming to the present day, we can now find tens of billions of transistors in the most advanced processors and semiconductors, all guarantee a drastic reduction in volume with an exponential increase in computational capacity.

 

Thanks to the process of component miniaturization, the industrial sector, in particular, has seen the degree of automation used in production increase significantly over the last decade.

 

Initiatives to improve industrial efficiency, such as Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), are responsible for the increasing deployment of electronics-based sensor and control equipment as well as machine learning systems based on artificial intelligence applications. This increase in automation equipment is set against the backdrop of extremely limited available space in factories, driving the demand for compact, energy-efficient technologies and state-of-the-art components.

 

The drive for component miniaturization is not limited to electronic components. Manufacturers of automation equipment and sub-assemblies have also innovated. Advances in 3D printing, materials technology research and a deeper understanding of finite element analysis in mechanical design are helping to reduce weight, size and cost.

 

Advances in the design and production of miniaturized components have benefited the automotive industry immeasurably. Specifically, in our market, they have given a boost to the development of infotainment, which has become the car’s main control centre. The trend towards miniaturization has allowed designers and manufacturers to incorporate more advanced features into their end products while reducing their impact, giving them the ability to increase the features and functionality of new products without increasing their physical dimensions in the car.

 

These important developments in electronics have heralded the advent of on-board control units that are significantly more powerful and efficient than in the past, both in terms of calculation capacity and in terms of the energy efficiency of the component within the increasingly complex ecosystem of the modern car.

The gradual compacting of internal components – also driven by the adoption of modular platforms on which the mechanics of the car are assembled together with increasingly optimised procedures and innovative machinery – has allowed a reduction in the number of control units installed on board the car, centralizing more and more functions in increasingly powerful hardware.

 

Today, more than ever before, the car is a complex system where many devices can connect, interact and exchange data and, more concretely, where the travel experience – enjoyed by drivers and passengers – are often defined and characterized by software ecosystems, which are constantly being updated and developed. In this perspective, the miniaturization of electronics enables and also drives an increasingly user-centred design of interfaces and experiences.

FUTURE FEMALE: An achievement that makes us proud but also prompts us to pause for thought.

FUTURE FEMALE: An achievement that makes us proud but also prompts us to pause for thought.

 

At the 2nd edition of the call for proposals “Future Female. Welfare and sustainability of women’s work”, instituted by the Regional Councillor for Equality, Rosita Garzi, in collaboration with the Social and Cultural Promotion Association “Sovrapensiero”, ART Spa won first place, jointly with the company SINTAGMA.

 

The award aims to promote and highlight virtuous cases of corporate welfare dedicated to women, and ART has shown that it devotes attention to this specific issue. Our participation in this call has also given us the opportunity to reflect on what we have accomplished in recent months.

 

ART Spa, founded in the early 2000s and located in the picturesque Villa del Pischiello in Passignano sul Trasimeno, is today one of Italy’s leading suppliers of connected infotainment systems and digital cockpits for luxury sports cars. A world that is considered predominantly male, but which ART has instead sought to open up to female skills, enhancing women’s abilities and guaranteeing fair access to positions of responsibility within its organization. Suffice to say that ART now has 20% women in its workforce, a figure that is growing steadily if one compares it to the years 2020 and 2021 when women were 12% and 15% respectively.

 

The year 2022 saw the creation of a new body, Organizational Development, which in collaboration with HR created a new program: “Oxygen”. This project, run by a predominantly female team, aims to increase the engagement of people in ART by helping them to develop the tools they need to best meet the challenges that await us in the future as a company, a group and as citizens.

 

Various initiatives have thus been activated, including:

 

– ART Academy aimed at developing soft skills, transversal skills and emotional intelligence to increase the versatility of each individual

– ART FOOD REVOLUTION, a sustainability project for and in the surrounding area that foresees the certification of the canteen service by the CCPB organization with the involvement of many local producers, thereby setting in motion a virtuous process for our territory with ethical and social repercussions.

 

ART is a young and innovative company, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that is so strong in its DNA that it has always been a strongly digitized company. This is why it has been so successful in immediately activating flexible work policies that today allow it to be closer to the needs of women in order to help them better combine private life (especially post-maternity) and work, also through other contractual flexibility tools (e.g. part-time).

 

ART is not stopping: there are many initiatives planned for 2023. Let’s keep going like this!

ART FOOD REVOLUTION: Sustainability and care for the territory

Nowadays, there is an ever-growing attention paid to the concepts of environmental sustainability, the proper use of resources and the reduction of pollutant emissions. Responsible interaction with the environment is essential in order to continue producing goods and services and at the same time safeguard the Planet, thus ensuring it is preserved for future generations.

This concept is also frequently associated with the world of catering, both in terms of the quality of products as well as in the way in which products are prepared and consumed.

 

In this short interview with Francesco Ortix, Chief Executive Officer of ART SpA, we explore the ART FOOD REVOLUTION project connected with our company canteen.

 

1. What is the ART FOOD REVOLUTION project?

 

Here at ART we are used to talking about pathways rather than projects, and the one we are following in our company cafeteria is an example of this!
Through close collaboration with the company that runs the cafeteria – Consorzio il Bove 2 soc. cooperativa sociale together with all of their staff – we are implementing a series of strategies aimed at ensuring quality both in terms of the raw materials used in the preparation of the meals we serve and in the preparation methods and the general management as well.

 

2. How are you carrying out this project?

 

The first objective we set ourselves was achieved a few days ago when we obtained the “Conosci il Tuo Pasto” (Know Your Meal) certification created by the CCPB, a certification and control body for food and “non food” products obtained in the organic and eco-friendly and eco-sustainable production sector.

Sustainability and, specifically, sustainable development concern the environmental, economic and social spheres in an interconnected way. Together, these three dimensions contribute to the definition of well-being and progress, and it is starting from this principle that we have initiated the development and growth of our project.

 

3. What is the “Know Your Meal” certification and how does it work?

 

“Know Your Meal” identifies a set of requirements for organizations that serve food and beverages, emphasizing raw materials and ingredients, non-food consumables, ethical and environmentally sustainable behaviour.
This certification has spurred us to adopt a series of virtuous behaviours in the 5 qualifying areas: Quality Products, Territory & Traditions, Ethics, Sustainability and Veg.

 

4. How have you fulfilled the requirements of the 5 areas?

 

The first area led us to choose quality products such as those from organic farming and then in conversion to organic and slow food presidia with recognized, highly appreciated and certified characteristics. Then in a second phase, this led to the gradual discovery of our territory and its traditions. The most demanding but also the most rewarding work is the continuous search for new small producers who allow us, once a week, through the distinctive nature of their products, to discover villages, territories, new recipes and culinary traditions.
The service is also performed in an ethical and sustainable way thanks to the use of disposable, compostable material and biodegradable detergents.

Introduction to the Functional Safety, ISO 26262.

One of the common questions we always ask ourselves is why the industry safety standard ISO 26262 so important?

 

The automotive sector is undergoing profound transformation, new concepts and new technologies are developing. ADAS systems, electrification, V2V architectures are only some examples of new generation of challenges for the mobility sector.

 

Functional safety is a common aspect of all new challenges and is increasingly an element of competition to but the best products on the market.

In ART, in recent years we have indeed invested a lot of energy in developing expertise and, therefore, products that comply with the ISO 26262 standard. This path has led us to acquire a high level of know-how that allows us to provide consulting services that help companies design, develop and produce systems compatible with functional safety standards.

 

ART Germany is member of Drivery that is not only the most innovative coworking space in the center of Berlin, but also a hub for innovation and mobility.

In this innovative and proactive collaborative environmental, today we hold our first masterclass, where we introduced the functional safety for the automotive industry (ISO 26262).

 

We explained how to calculate the level of automotive safety integrity (ASIL) of a function and its impact on the architecture, HW and SW of the electronic subsystems and the HW/SW lifecycle.

After a first overview of functional safety, we tried to describe it properly. Moving on to the differences and commonalities between FuSa standards in automotive sector (ISO 26262) and other sectors (e.g. agriculture, earth moving machines). Finally, the phases of the Functional Safety lifecycle were analyzed.

ART SKILL ACADEMY: A space where corporate culture flourishes.

ART is a fast-growing company, and in the last three years alone it has seen a doubling of its workforce. This has highlighted the need to adopt a new approach towards the continuous development of People.

In this brief interview with Emanuela Bernardini Head of Organization Development and
Andrea Narciso Head of Innovation Department, let’s explore the project ART SKILL ACADEMY.

 

 

1- What is the project ART Skill Academy?

 

Rather than a project, we will call it a journey: a journey that has lead us a long way from its beginnings and that is now beginning to bear fruit. In the last three years our company has seen an exponential increase in personnel, which, combined with the changing environment in which we live, is making it necessary to develop certain best-practices including the need for lifelong learning. Today more than ever, it is not only professional qualifications that are important, but increasingly, the human qualities that make us act as a cohesive and united team.

ART SKILL ACADEMY has as its primary objective to train People to deal with uncertainty and complexity. ART is experiencing a moment of development and transformation, which will also affect the work organization model. In order to make this growth sustainable for everyone, ART is providing its People with a space and a place where they can meet and grow also through the exchange and integration of diversity.

 

 

2- Who is the initiative aimed at?

 

All of us ART employees, the particularity of this initiative is precisely that it seeks to involve as many people as possible. We have always believed in the need to create a space where people can meet and grow, and this initiative is relevant to ART but above all to the people who populate it. We seek to provide those tools that allow the individual to grow

and then make our orga

nization stronger and more adaptive to the changes that are our constant.

 

 

3- What courses are planned?

 

Academy has two souls, the technical soul (Tech ART) and the human soul (Human ART). The technical experience is aimed at sharing not only what we do and how we do it, but also why we do it: the essence of doing in ART. The human experience is aimed at the Person, it is designed to make the culture that binds us as a team flourish. The Human catalogue is already structured, it includes 11 courses, one of which has been chosen by the company for everyone: “Proactive Mindset – Training for uncertainty and complexity”.

 

 

4- What are the benefits a person can gain from participating in the various courses?

 

This, we believe, is the question we feel happiest to answer. We hope and, we firmly believe, that participation in these initiatives is a first step towards the cultural changes that needs to be promoted in ART and that can be fostered by internalizing the concept of shared responsibility and the culture of error. Strengthening the workforce to consolidate the company’s solidity, a path that has people at its heart and, first and foremost, the quality of their lives. A company is neither better nor worse than those who work in it, it is an act of responsibility towards our community.

MATE: GUARANTEED QUALITY WITH ISO/IEC 17025:2017 COMPLIANCE

Last June, MATE was recognised for having achieved compliance with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for vibration and shock testing.

Mate, a company of ART group, has grown very much in the past four years. Stefano Marchetti, the company’s managing director, knows this well and has made fundamental contributions towards the company affirming itself as a “small but big” rising star born between Umbria and Tuscany; a company and a team which distinguish themselves not only for technical
know how but also for problem solving ability, as well as organisational skills and order, which are all fundamental aspects in the field of testing and technical trials.

As a crowning moment for the growth of the company, Accredia – the Italian entity for accreditation- accredited Mate as an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliant laboratory for vibration and shock testing. This enables the company to offer clients an extremely high level of quality both
during the testing process as well as in the accuracy of the values that result from testing, guaranteeing maximum reliability even at the international level. Specifically, compliance with the standard indicates that the measurement of uncertainty specific to a laboratory for a certain test be contained within the values required by the method of testing. In MATE’s case, for instance, 10% on the value of acceleration.

As we all know, however, exams never end in life! In six months Accredia will evaluate MATE again. Meanwhile, the company is assessing how to reinforce the structure dedicated to this kind of activity, while the number of certified tests will be enhanced, as next year accreditation for Climate testing is expected.

MATE therefore becomes a complementary asset towards the verticalization of ART, an accredited testing laboratory at the service of clients from two markets especially: automotive and aerospace, where certifications of this kind are fundamental towards the recognition of high
quality work.

EIGHTY IS NOT ENOUGH

SAVE THE DATE 17 & 18 June

EIGHTY IS NOT ENOUGH

 

Eighty years hasn’t been enough to realise all of my dreams, but I will give everything to do so in the coming years, because “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” and I certainly don’t intend to fly away.

For the location of this meeting I have chosen Il Pischiello, which is the headquarters of our company, ART, and the cradle and home of my project, in the heart of my Umbria, a link between history and the future.

I would like to invite you to celebrate this milestone with me on 17^th and 18^th June, and to share details of future projects.

Kind regards,

Giancarlo Luigetti
Passignano sul Trasimeno, 18 maggio 2018

The evening was hosted by television presenter and producer Marco Cerbella, who announced a project of his that will involve us directly, a kind of diary of our sporting story.

Luca BERNARDI, the 16 year old from San Marino, will defend his Italian championship in the CIV category and will head our team in the World Championship alongside Holland’s Joep OVERBAKE, who was unable to attend and was the evening’s only absentee.
