Ericsson has been pushing its connected car platform the past couple of years<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Swedish infrastructure giant\u00a0Ericsson<\/a>\u00a0has announced a new partnership with Eindhoven University of Technology focused on advancing the intelligent capabilities of automotive vehicles, starting with a solar-powered connected car, reports Telecoms.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The car, which will compete in a 3,000km race from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia as part of Solar Team Eindhoven, will be fully solar-powered, and\u00a0Ericsson<\/a>\u00a0will be looking to drive intelligence in the vehicle based on the Connected Traffic Cloud platform it announced at\u00a0Mobile World Congress<\/a>\u00a0in March.<\/p>\n

Connected Traffic Cloud is a managed service capable of sharing two-way data between\u00a0connected cars<\/a>\u00a0and road traffic authorities. In the context of the World Solar Challenge,\u00a0Ericsson<\/a>\u00a0will be looking to aggregate car, traffic and weather data, conduct in-depth analytics and maximise the energy and power consumption efficiency of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Announced at\u00a0Mobile World Congress<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year,\u00a0Ericsson<\/a>\u00a0at the time said\u00a0connected cars<\/a>\u00a0and road authorities utilising the platform will benefit from enhanced road safety, improved traffic flow and vehicle performance. The company has previously partnered<\/a> on similar initiatives with Volvo,\u00a0the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens Vegvesen).<\/p>\n

Orvar Hurtig, head of industry and society at\u00a0Ericsson<\/a>\u00a0said real-time data analysis is the key to driving more intelligent road networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile connectivity is increasingly a must-have feature in cars, thanks to both consumer demand for infotainment and a wide range of regulatory initiatives that aim to increase road safety,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a result, vehicles are becoming a major source of data that could be used to improve road traffic authorities\u2019 ability to manage traffic and prevent avoidable accidents. Connected Traffic Cloud is the means by which that data could be shared.\u201d<\/p>\n
