Ecosystem News
KPMG report: The Future Mobility Ecosystem
Mobility transformation is fueled by three key technology‑driven disruptive trends: electrifcation of vehicles (EVs) and alternative powertrains, connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and Mobility‑as‑a‑Service (MaaS). Taken independently, each would signifcantly disrupt the ecosystem; but in combination, they should drive unprecedented change. These advances are set to replace our current vehicle‑centric system with ess ecosystem – with amlessly transition between of transport, with dynamic a radically more effcient, data‑enabled and driverl consumers at its heart. Users would be able to se public, private, on‑demand and scheduled modes travel information enabling mid‑journey changes. As the mobility ecosystem evolves, its global valu than US$1 trillion by 2030.1 e is forecast to grow to more

Quantum\partners visits
This month we visited our partners at VDL Energy for two days workshop together with an Israeli Energy startup that is working on a collaboration with VDL.
This format aims to jointly characterize and build an energy storage solution for a VDL client who also took part in the workshop.
The workshop format is a 'sprint process' that allows agile and accurate solutions to be produced around one table in tight schedules.
Many thanks to our partners from VDL Energy for the warm welcome and hospitality!

Following the fruitful collaboration created by Quantum Hub between the VDL Mast Solutions & Infratec cluster, and the Israeli company ACiiST, the VDL team came for a face-to-face meeting and a visit at Quantum Hub by the General Manager-Eric Janssen and VDL Group Business Manager-Raoul Rosendaal.
The visit included introductory sessions with a number of companies in the field of Infratech and smart cities in order to examine potential collaborations.
Thank you for your visit!
Quantum @ Ecosystem Conferences
MOVE is one of the biggest conferences in the world’s of mobility event, where disruptive technology and innovation drive change. Automotive OEMs, transport operators, tech companies, fleet, energy companies, fast-growing startups and policymakers gather every year to discover next-generation technologies being brought into the marketplace.
The MOVE 2022 conference is a premium event that gives access to over 400 speakers from across the mobility spectrum and networking opportunities with more than thousands of global leaders in mobility. It was interesting to hear Marcus Welz, VP Smart Mobility Hyundai Motor Europe talk about creating true value using new data to solved problems, the next mobility revolution of autonomous robtaxi and the launch of AI-powered-responsive transport system will enable new business model innovations
#3 chort of Quantum Champ program
This month, we launched the third chorot of 'Quantum champ'- our internal innovation program.
During the program, we provide internal leaders of our groups subsidiaries with practical innovation tools, know-how and mindset, enabling them to become innovation champions within their organisations.
Throughout the program, the participants work on an innovation project they choose to promote, while addressing pain points and relevant technological solutions.
Quantum Hub PoC Use-Case
The Situation
Alcohol is a substance that reduces the function of the brain, impairing thinking, reasoning and muscle coordination. All these abilities are essential to operating a vehicle safely.
As alcohol levels rise in a person’s system, the negative effects on the central nervous system increase.
What we did
The chosen usecase is to test driver cognition, with an emphasis on DUI detection.
Initial stage was be based on steering wheel position/motion sensors as a simulation.
The second stages was tested in the vehicle in real driving conditions.
Results
○ Simulator Test -
91% of the DUI subjects were detected.
○ Real Driving Test -
95% of the DUI subjects were detected
Corractions
CorrActions developed a patented AI software-based technology solution which tracks the activity of driver’s brain control mechanisms in real time and is able to detect activity deterioration. Corractions' software solution reads brain activity without contact with the head. The information is obtained from sensors found in every vehicle, able to detect drunkenness, drowsiness, intoxication, exhaustion and others.
Spotlight of the month
Multiple EV Charging Station
Jupiter-EV is the developer of proprietary multiple electric vehicles charging stations. The company’s solution enables 8 to 16 fast DC charging stations to be created in an area less than 50 square meters, or the equivalent of three parking spaces. The solution is based on a robotic parking tower with a proprietary interface to standard OCPP fast DC charging stations.
Jupiter-EV has teamed up with charging companies, municipalities, and real-estate companies to deliver fast public charging solutions in limited areas.
