Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Arcane Technologies Inc. is a Quebec-based information and communications technology company. In order to improve road traffic safety, Arcane is currently working on the development of a proprietary vehicle-pedestrian predictive collision avoidance system based on GPS and LTE geolocation data generated by phones and mobile devices connected to cellular networks. This requires the development of a proprietary augmented reality application, downloadable to cellular devices and allowing, via the use of GPS and LTE geolocation data for vehicles and pedestrians, as well as an algorithm for predictive crossings of position-velocity vectors, to alert in the event of a probable collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian. To do this, Arcane is seeking C2T3's expertise in wireless telecommunications to determine the spatial resolution, latency and urban coverage levels of GPS and LTE technologies to refine the predictive model for this innovative anti-collision product. This project is part of an effort to innovate and improve anti-collision systems for motor vehicles and represents a real opportunity for Arcane Technologies Inc. to position itself competitively in a competitive market that is in need of modernization.
