Cooperation with Goodyear on new automotive applications | #Luxembourg #UniversityLuxembourg #STEM #Research #Europe | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

The University of Luxembourg and the Goodyear Innovation Center in Luxembourg have launched a new research project that studies the use of Near-Field Communication (NFC) in automotive safety systems.

The four-year research project has the potential to initiate major innovations in the automotive sector. It is funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) and Goodyear.

Near-Field Communication, a promising technology
Near-Field communication is poised to fundamentally change the automotive sector. “NFC is a form of short-range wireless communication that relies on electric and magnetic fields generated around a transmitting antenna. This communication technology is now being explored for automotive applications due to its unique characteristics,” explains Ahmad Rida Tawakuli, PhD student within the Security and Networking Laboratory (SECAN-Lab) at the University, who initiated the project.

Vom Barcode zum selbstfahrenden Auto | #AutomotiveDay2018 #Luxembourg #Europe | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Die Zukunft steht im Zeichen der Automatisierung
Die Digitalisierung der Mobilität, die Elektromobilität und die intelligente und autonome Kommunikation standen gestern im Mittelpunkt des „Automotive Day 2018“ in Luxemburg. „Die wichtigste jährliche Veranstaltung in der Großregion für Top-Profis in der Automobilbranche“, wie der Veranstalter, die Agentur Luxinnovation, mitteilte.

Tatsächlich trafen sich Experten der Automations- und Automobilbranche im Alvisse Parc Hotel, um Ideen und Fachwissen über Trends, Herausforderungen und Chancen in den Bereichen „Connected and Automated Driving“, Künstliche Intelligenz, virtuelle und erweiterte Realität sowie über Markttrends und -chancen auszutauschen.

 

Die Spannweite der vertretenen Unternehmen reichte vom Automobilzulieferer Cebi bis zum Roboterhersteller Fanuc oder Autopass, einem Unternehmen, das seit 2012 in Howald vertreten ist und Betreibern von Autoflotten wie Leasingunternehmen die Bereitstellung von Daten anbietet und zum Beispiel darüber informieren, wann welche Autos gewartet werden müssen, erklärt Stéphane Girten, „Responsable commercial“ der Autopass Group in Luxemburg.

Luxembourg’s Automotive sector facing new challenges for 2018 | #Europe

Luxembourg’s Automotive sector facing new challenges for 2018 | #Europe | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

02-03-2018


Luxembourg’s Automotive (Mobility) Sector is transforming rapidly to deal with the disruptive technological change and challenges that it is facing. Joost Ortjens, Head of Sector Development – Automotive at Luxinnovation, talks about the opportunities and challenges as well as the top priorities in his 2018 strategy roadmap.

In KPMG’s Global Automotive Executive Survey 2017, the results strongly emphasised that, “the car itself will continue to be a major revenue stream but it will not be the only one and auto companies will have to develop new service-and data-driven business models together in one digital ecosystem” ensuring that the all-important customer is kept at the centre. We spoke to Joost Ortjens about the Luxembourg Automotive Sector and how he is setting his sights to grow the sector with these challenges and opportunities in mind.

JOOST, HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY THE AUTOMOTIVE MARKET IN LUXEMBOURG?


Luxembourg is centrally located in the heart of the European automotive community. At the crossroads between Germany, France and Belgium, we offer excellent access to all European development locations of both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and TIER1 suppliers. It is an ideal location for component suppliers with a multi-customer base to develop and tailor products to a wide range of customer requirements.

What we “sell” is basically the most competitive entry-ticket to the European Automotive/Mobility market. The Luxembourg automotive industry contains companies supplying global OEMs headquartered in Europe. The internal Luxembourg market (business opportunities in Luxembourg), is not much in discussion. However, Luxembourg as starting point for business development in the European single market makes a lot of sense.

There are many suppliers in Luxembourg, whose products are unlikely to become obsolete, no matter which drive concept will dominate in the future, for example tyre manufacturers like Goodyear, car glass producers like Carlex or  companies like IEE,  developing and selling  occupant classification systems and driver-state recognition sensors.

Luxembourg owes its attractiveness in part to a business friendly taxation and investment climate (includes also R&D funding). There is more to the country though. Automotive players in particular value the capabilities of the highly-educated, very international, Luxembourg working force which is at ease in most of the European business cultures and switches effortlessly between languages.

Selon Eurostat, 2,2% de la population au Luxembourg n'aurait pas les moyens de s'acheter une voiture. Si ce pourcentage (qui a légèrement augmenté entre 2016 et 2017) est à prendre en compte, il est aussi à relativiser puisque le taux monte à 7% pour l'ensemble de la population de l'Union européenne. Le Luxembourg fait même partie des trois pays, avec Malte (1,7%) et Chypre (1,7%), les mieux lotis dans l'UE pour faire vivre le marché automobile.

Foyer s’allie au SnT sur la conduite autonome

Pour Foyer, avoir une expérience directe sur cette nouvelle technologie est crucial pour comprendre son fonctionnement, mais aussi obtenir les données qui lui permettront de calculer le risque et concevoir des contrats d’assurance sur mesure.

L’assureur luxembourgeois a signé un partenariat avec l’institut de recherche appliquée de l’Uni et son projet de conduite autonome, lors du SnT Partnership Day, ce mardi. Son objectif est d’anticiper l’impact qu’aura cette technologie sur le marché.

Le développement au Luxembourg d’un système de conduite autonome de niveau 4, sur une échelle de 5, est une aubaine que Foyer ne pouvait pas laisser passer. Comme ses concurrents, l’assureur cherche à mesurer l’impact des véhicules autonomes sur le marché des assurances.

Avoir une expérience directe sur cette nouvelle technologie est donc crucial pour comprendre son fonctionnement, mais aussi obtenir les données qui lui permettront de calculer le risque et concevoir des contrats d’assurance sur mesure.
