Report from Job Klijnhout
Apart from the multitude of technical gadgets like video camera’s and led signs there were some interesting things on show.
The MYb IRF card that was given to the attendants is more than a way to pay for public transport. This type is now used as such 15 million times per day. It could be used to pay at vending machines. The card now comes in all sorts of attractive shapes including watertight wristwatches. I can be used for toll payment, in shops, as student-ID at a campus, as ID with the Government, and even to pay the Salvation Army Christmas collection. When ordering a taxi one can track the assigned taxi on the web to see when it will arrive.
And this is just one of the four widespread IRF cards. In short its applications are just a niche in the IRF card use.
This time ports and railways were well represented.
The driving simulator development in Korea has come a long way with high quality pictures.
Safety camera’s in vehicles can now be equipped with pedestrian detection based on a stereo interpretation.
In-vehicle services were abundantly available. What strikes is that the providers offer a whole bundle of services, not just one or two traffic information services.
A novel detection system uses diagonally placed detectors alongside classical square loops for vehicle classification.
On street and in vehicle high quality Public Transport information is provided in a multitude of ways using all sorts of monitors and led screens.
