Field Trials 2007/2008

In the field trial this season we have 100 cars in the fleet. 90 of these in the Gothemburg area and 10 in Stockholm. 50 of the cars have GPRS-communication and 50 communicate with SMS.

New software for the telematics module in the cars have been developed. This new module is based on the experiences drawn during the first field test in the winter 2006/2007.

Along with this module a friction algorithm have been installed in the texting-design, to deliver friction values of the actual friction of the road as a complement to the original signals used during the first field test.

During this next stage of the development the SRIS model will be improved in many areas. The Car data Model and the Weather Model will automatically be integrated in the SRIS Model which will generate a user-friendly map over the current slipperiness in the area.
