SpotlightA Step Towards Advanced AutonomousDriving System

www.infoholicresearch.com

Edition 3 April 2018

An Autonomous driving technology helps in realizingthe various operations and decision-making functionsthat are carried out by the driver. These functions arecarried out using sensors and multiple camerasmounted on the car to help control accelerator andbraking systems.

A secured advance technology is a must to make self-drivingvehicles full proof. Toshiba has developed a circuit technologywith an automotive LiDAR (light detection and ranging) toenable long-range distance measurement that can capture highquality 3D images in real time of the vehicle surroundings.

The advanced LiDAR sensors can detect surrounding vehiclesand pedestrians with precision compared to other sensors and itsanalog-to-digital converter along with signal processer helps tomeasure, reduce and suppress noise generated under the sunlight.

The solution helps to enhance the performance using newly developed smart averaging technique which utilizes two hybrid circuits, an ADC circuit for measuring long distance and the other to measure short distances. It has the capacity to overcome conventional signal processes and can automatically differentiate if the reflected signals generated from the multiple lasers are from the different or same object. It further sharpens the image and significantly improves LiDAR image resolution and can measure the distance, covering up to 200m with a high accuracy and resolution. The unique structure of the advanced ADC circuit helps to realize a small circuit size and lowers circuit power consumption. This further makes way for building a compact and high-performance automotive LiDAR system which can accelerate in realizing a secure and sophisticated autonomous driving system.

Technology Highlights

Tech TalkThe constant surge of data from a manufacturing unit or a financial institute needs to be analyzed in order to react to events in real time and take decisions during crisis. Fog computing facilitates transfer of data from its origin to multiple locations where ever they are required. This concept is ideal for applications that require real-time interactions within its network extending from where the data is created to the eventual storage point either within customer’s data center or in the cloud.

Robots are making way into human lives and are taking a centre step. The most popular among them are arguably agricultural robots which allow farmers to produce more food at low cost. One of the key advancement in robotic implements are its ability to self-learn using its highly intelligent features like advanced vision technology along with machine learning features. The intelligent implements have the ability to distinguish between crops and weeds as the implement are run along the field, paving the way for a customized farm oriented weeding action. The agricultural robots market will generate more than 13.0 Billion by 2023 with a CAGR of more than 20% between 2017 and 2023.

Fog computing provides enterprises with multiple options for processing data where it is most required. In many cases they may have to be processed as quickly as possible to be able to respond to an incident.

Its ability to create pathway for low-latency network connection between devices and analytical end-points makes this technology very useful.

It can also be used in cases where there is no bandwidth connection to send data, making it man-datory to process the data from the closed point from where it is created.

Since internet and smartphones are ubiquitous now, e-wallets like Paytm, and MobiKwik are also being used by a large percentage of the population for financial transactions, both personal and commercial. This has brought transparency and enabled entry of more people in the formal economy. Furthermore, online payment of Goods and Service tax, EPFO, ESIC, among others, have made the tax collection mechanism more efficient and transparent.

IT has enabled global integration and has become a key component of global business strategy. It has equipped businesses with communication and analytical power to trade and manage business at a global level with much ease. Broadly, IT has made it possible to store, study, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data with limited manual intervention. Businesses can coordinate their worldwide network of suppliers, distributors and consumers through a global information system and operate business round the clock.



IT is aiding sharp improvements in various sectoral performance, making it a vital component to improve overall economic growth. For instance, manufacturing units leverage on ERP software to provide means of operational improvement for their company. The software allows for collection, storage and management of data for planning various business activities (inventory planning etc.). With regards to agriculture, IT, by way of price determination and awareness, databases can empower farmers to take informed and quality decisions. This will positively impact the way agriculture and allied activities are conducted.

IT has also transformed the governance system in the country. India has transitioned from a manual and cumber-some system to a strong IT-based governance moving towards the motto of Prime Minister, “Minimum Govern-ment, Maximum Governance”.

Provisions like digital platform (Single Window System) for filing applications and obtaining approvals to start a business, computerized selection of inspectors to inspect business premises and online filing of labour returns have eliminated physical interface with the government officials and eliminated corrupt practices like inspector raj etc. This has reduced costs (both time and money) of the business and made doing business simpler and easier.

Linking Aadhaar number with PAN card, mobile phones and bank account, which is helping direct transfer of benefits like Education, Healthcare etc. to the beneficiaries has been possible due the expanding coverage of IT.

IT has the potential to make India become a super-power, however, this facility is limited to a small section of the society. The government is working towards fostering inclusive growth and IT can play a major role in helping India experience this growth.

Efforts towards creating wireless technology 5G, revamping the United Payment Interface (UPI) and launch of DTH channel DigiShala, to help people understand digital payments, are few, among other initiatives undertaken by the government in this direction.
