It is supported by ordinary PCs running CAD and Multimedia presentation software. The system will be utilized for testing applications and as demonstrator in product development, process planning at the participating companies. It will also be tested for training and education purposes. The feedback received in these tests and demonstrations will be implemented into the supporting software platform in order to fit it to the industrial needs. In the first phase of the project the research will focus on the development of an efficient manufacturing technique for the fundamental optical element of the display table – the high quality full colour holographic element. With that goal achieved, the research will concentrate on development, adaption and evaluation of the multi view display in practical tests with industry and research partners. Two systems will also be developed for a virtually co-located meeting environment utilizing high speed internet. The concept of this project has already been demonstrated as a monochrome (black – red) display and it has created a paradigm shift by bringing virtual models out to reality instead of having people going into virtual world. People can sit around the table and without glasses see the presented model in 3D on the table. They can discuss and interact and at the same time have eye contact and see mimics and gestures of each other, see Figure 1. At the same time they can make changes to the model, interrogate it for more detailed information and get related information from the data base. > Please explain briefly your expertise Optics and holography, Software design and application development for design and manufacturing, information and activity modelling, solid modelling. > Explain what kind of partner/expertise you are looking for Partners that can contribute application feedback and testing of new principles for interaction in design, production and process planning. Partners from cognitive and perception science for contributing 3D table design requirements and evaluation.

The Traffilog solution focuses on assisting organizations and managers significantly reduce fleet running costs. In this ‘information rich’ era which we live in, the question is not how much we know, but rather what we do with the knowledge. The Traffilog solution has the advanced ability to filter relevant and important data out of the mass of information it receives, thereby providing answers to relevant questions and allowing for cost reduction and improved efficiency of working processes. Traffilog goes ahead of other LBS solutions and offer a product that add value beyond the regular Location‐Based Real‐Time Fleet Management and Track & Trace solutions offered by other companies on the market today. We have developed a unique solution that responds to mobile asset management requirements at all corporate levels. Our solution includes: A) Advance fleet management ‐ vehicle tracking with geo‐fencing for both vehicles and personnel – with routing, replays, maps, interface for SVR and more. B) Risk and Mechanical Driver Profiling – Profiling of driver behaviour and driver mechanical skills, based on G‐sensor (accelerometer) data and CANBUS/OBDII diagnostics data, analyzed by advanced algorithms developed together with the leading Israeli technical university Technion. C) Real‐Time Remote CAN/OBD diagnostics, full reading of all CAN data, management of fuel theft and consumption, load temperature and additional features. > Explain what kind of partner/expertise you are looking for With a vision to become an integral part of all vehicles, the Traffilog solution is well on its way to becoming a standard safety feature; (just like airbags and ABS brakes – can easily be removed), installed by the manufacturer, in all vehicles. Moreover, as they act as an additional safeguard for both the driver and vehicle the Traffilog products have come to justify a reduction in insurance costs. Traffilog is looking for partners who has a local market reach and are interested in the development of a system that is suitable, not only for the Heavy Vehicle market which is 6 Traffilog’s main market today, but rather for the large consumer/personal vehicle market. Relevant partners could be within: OEMs Insurance Companies Vehicle Emergency Service Providers Tier 1/2/3 AVL/SVR Providers National Traffic/Road Safety Projects National Infrastructures Large Fleet Companies Integrators and Distributors with reach of Large Fleets And any other interested company...
