The new system that the students from Halmstad have developed is called Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). As the name suggests, it is a system where vehicles communicate with each other to thereby adapt the vehicle's own speed, acceleration and braking. The system has positive effects on traffic even if not all vehicles are equipped with CACC.
\n\u201cEven with a relatively small number of cars equipped with CACC, the system will have positive effects on traffic,\u201d explains Johan Nordin, chairman of the jury for the Swedish Embedded Award. Given the constantly increasing traffic, high speed and demands for lower consumption, the system is very interesting for the future. It is great to see student grants with such good commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n
This year's winner in the Enterprise category, best corporate innovation, also went to Halmstad. Comfort Audio AB is awarded the prize for a digital mini receiver for hearing aids. It is the first of its kind in the world and significantly improves both sound quality and the hearing experience. The small receiver weighs only one gram and is supposed to provide a cleaner and clearer sound.
\n\u201cImpaired hearing is a major problem for those affected, and solutions like Comfort Audio's new digital receiver can contribute to a better quality of life for many people in society,\u201d says Johan Nordin. Embedded Technology has a lot to offer the medical field.<\/p>\n
Finally, the Swedish Embedded Award was also presented in the micro\/nano category. Here, the company Gloi AB from M\u00f6lndal was the winner for a product that measures the small angles that vehicle wheels require to minimize tire wear.
\n\u2013 Normally, large and expensive measuring equipment is used for this, says Johan Nordin. With this innovative solution, a regular iPad or even an iPhone is sufficient. The equipment is simple and shows that embedded technology can provide significantly simpler and more user-friendly solutions in the future. This year's three award winners all come from the west coast and clearly show how established the development of embedded technology has become in this part of the country. We hope that more regions see the opportunities that the technology offers and follow suit.<\/p>\n
The Swedish Embedded Award is awarded by the Swedish Electronics Industry Association \u2013 the Embedded Technology section, the Knowledge Foundation with the consortia teknIQ \u2013 expert competence intelligent products and minST \u2013 expert competence micro\/nano system technology, in collaboration with the magazine Elektronik i Norden and Tekniska M\u00e4ssan.<\/p>\n
