The Mobility Crossway solution is designed to meet the challenge of ensuring the safety of light rail, metro, railway, and even autonomous vehicle transport systems, without reducing their performance. Automation is increasingly used in private and public transport systems, including autonomous vehicles, driverless metros, and smart infrastructure. The benefits are measurable in terms of safety […]
As part of an initiative to bring electricity to communities living on islands created by the Tucuruí dam in Brazil, Omexom has installed mini photovoltaic power plants. This agile solution was encouraged by the public authorities. It is a cruel paradox that in the state of Pará in the Amazon rainforest, the workers who built […]
An article by our partner site Le Monde de l’Énergie What if, in future, we could recharge the car while driving? The limited range and the price of the electric vehicle are an obstacle to its widespread adoption, as are the limited availability and low power of charging stations. The dynamic recharging concept could facilitate […]
To help drivers avoid tailbacks on a nearby motorway, the Waze navigation app is rerouting them in large numbers through the municipality of Lieusaint, in the Seine-et-Marne department, some 40 km to the south of Paris (France). This “smart” diversion is causing major inconvenience for locals. In an effort to trick the Waze algorithm and send […]
In recent years, drones and robots have fitted themselves into the wide range of technologies used to support maintenance teams. They detect leaks, repair roads, monitor electricity grids, and measure building energy performance – in short, they have taken over tasks that were previously performed by flesh-and-blood technicians. Will maintenance jobs be among the first […]
In a move that will benefit city-dwellers, the Connected Worlds company in the Netherlands has worked with Axians to roll out a network of sensors that enable cities to fine-tune management of such things as traffic and pollution. A cloud of dust marks the place in a Dutch neighbourhood undergoing urban renewal where an old […]
The impending end of the “all-automobile” era is prompting cities to re-examine the future of car parks and consider ways to re-purpose them. We look at ten innovative uses, including housing, offices, and logistics hubs. The dual energy and digital transition currently under way is causing disruption in cities built to accommodate the car, and […]
Next-generation buildings feature more and more digital applications, but struggle to make them communicate with each other. That’s where BOS (Building Operating System) comes in – a solution linked to BIM (Building Information Modelling). If the place it actually occupies in the urban landscape was to be measured against the media coverage it receives, then […]
Students at the University of Twente made a breakthrough in electric mobility by equipping the boat they entered in the 2018/2019 Solar & Energy Boat Challenge with a powerful submerged motor and state-of-the-art photovoltaic cells. Omexom supported the adventure. Every year, a new team at the University of Twente in the Netherlands takes part in […]
