Free testing gets September green light

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:51:27 +0000

innovITS ADVANCE is offering the use of its privately connected and controlled urban driving environment for free in September. The site enjoys a comprehensive network of roads, intersections and road surfaces; along with fully controllable and private multi cell GSM and Wi-Fi networks, enabling new intelligent transport and telematics services to be given a proper road test.

Looking to explore the full range of functionality its customers want tested, innovITS are currently developing complex use-case scenarios which those using the site in September will be able to feed into.

“Not only does this offer unique opportunities for those developing intelligent transport solutions, it also helps us to understand the full capacity of our systems,” said Roger Wilson from innovITS.

Contact Roger directly if you’d like to know more about the ‘test for free’ days in September: +44 7872 308647 or roger.wilson@innovits.com

Opportunity to Supply and Install a GNSS Denial Facility

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:50:53 +0000

There is now an opportunity for interested parties to apply for details on submitting a proposal to undertake work to supply and install a GNSS Denial facility at innovITS's ADVANCE facilitiy.

Outline of GNSS Denial facility requirement

A system to attenuate the GNSS signal provided to vehicle on-board or nomadic devices for location based services. The denial system will simulate ‘urban canyons’, a key determinant of performance for location-based systems operating in modern city environments where satellite obscuration and multipath propagation can compromise signal availability.

This might form the basis for future work providing similar ‘denial’ for communications in addition to location.

The system will need to integrate with the control system for the whole ADVANCE facility.

More info

For details of the opportunity please contact us, giving your name and contact details and a brief statement of your capabilities relevant to the delivery of this system.

Key Dates:

6th Aug 2010: Expressions of interest must be received by this date.

13th Aug 2010: Proposals should be submitted by noon on this date

mid March 2011: All work is to be completed by this date
