Siemens’ PAVE360 Automotive Technology

Transport

Siemens has introduced PAVE360 Automotive, a sophisticated digital twin platform designed to streamline the creation of software-defined vehicles. By providing a pre-integrated virtual environment, the technology allows manufacturers to test complex systems like autonomous driving and infotainment without first building physical prototypes. This cloud-based solution significantly shortens production timelines, reducing certain setup phases from months to mere days. Developed in partnership with Arm, the software enables engineers to validate hardware and software configurations simultaneously using real-world simulations. The system is scheduled for a full public demonstration at CES 2026, highlighting a shift towards more agile and collaborative automotive engineering. Continue reading

Attention Sharing: AI Distraction Detection for Commercial Fleets

Transport, , , , ,

 Seeing Machines Limited, an Australian company specialising in computer vision technology for transport safety announced launch of its “attention sharing” feature for the Guardian Generation 3 safety solution, which is marketed to commercial vehicle fleets globally. This world-first feature tracks the cumulative time a driver spends with their eyes off the road, detecting repeated, short glances—a major contributor to crash risk—that other systems often miss. The AI-powered technology continuously monitors eye gaze direction in real time to provide accurate distraction detection and subsequent intervention before safety is compromised. The announcement highlights that the feature is being deployed over-the-air to existing Guardian Gen 3 systems and includes references to supporting scientific studies on driver inattention.

PntGuard: Safeguarding Maritime Navigation from GNSS Spoofing

Transport, , , , , , , , , ,

PntGuard™ is a new maritime security solution designed to combat Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing and jamming at sea. Developed through a collaboration between Tschudi Shipping Company, NAL Research, and SGM Technology AS, PntGuard provides vessels with authenticated, true position data even when other bridge systems are compromised by malicious electronic warfare. The source emphasises that the increasing threat of GNSS disruption poses significant risks to maritime safety and compliance, potentially leading to collisions, sanctions violations, and insurance disputes. PntGuard leverages the Iridium® low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network to deliver a highly resilient signal, offering a standalone navigational aid that instantly alerts crews to position falsification and provides the vessel’s true track in real-time.
