PMX Systems and AIMotroniX are joining forces to develop a digital twin for traffic and people counting. The project enables PMX Systems to set new standards in counting with radars. The idea for the collaboration came about over coffee in the Switzerland Innovation Park East.
The sophisticated sensors from PMX Systems are a step ahead of regular traffic counts. They are not only powered by solar power and can be used all over the world using satellite communication. What is particularly unique is their ability to not only count vehicles, but also categorize them. This means that more precise information can be provided about what type of vehicles are on the road.
Technology in focus
New technologies create the conditions for this innovative measuring method. However, comprehensive testing of the sensors would be unthinkable in the real world due to space, time and resource limitations. The digital twin developed by AIMotroniX, on the other hand, simulates real conditions for the sensor measurements, which allows a variety of vehicle types and traffic situations to be tested. In addition, the digital twin provides the basis for intelligent, model-based signal evaluation.
Rewarding collaboration
The cooperation enables PMX Systems to test its sensor systems more extensively than would ever have been possible in the real world. This not only leaves room for specific optimizations, it also creates validation of the product for interested parties. Through the project, AIMotroniX also acquires crucial skills and valuable experience that will help it successfully expand its portfolio into the area of smart sensing.
Milestones and future plans
From January 2024, PMX Systems AG will be officially founded and will bring a completely revised product line onto the market just weeks later. A market offensive is then planned, aimed at cities, municipalities, the tourism sector and companies with security-monitored zones. AIMotroniX is developing a comprehensive library of digital twin components that can be used to optimize, control and diagnose complex systems.
The collaboration between PMX Systems and AIMotroniX marks a significant step in the development of advanced technologies for traffic counting and digital simulation. The two companies are working together to pool their knowledge and develop innovative solutions for future challenges.
About PMX Systems AG :
PMX develops and markets smart IoT sensors for measuring outdoor mobility. The sensors, which are unique in the world, can count and categorize both vehicles and people. Using solar power and satellite communication, the systems can be operated autonomously practically anywhere. The development and production of the sensors takes place primarily at the St.Gallen location.
About AIMotroniX AG :
AIMotroniX specializes in the modeling and development of digital twins and their use in controls and sensors. By representing complex systems in the form of a digital twin, such systems can be optimized both in terms of design and operation. This results in significant savings in energy, working time and resources.
