Aimsun Ltd
Aimsun is an international team of technologists, scientists, and transportation engineers focused on solving the world’s most complex mobility problems. The team brings its experience to projects as diverse as testing the impact of connected and autonomous vehicles, training artificial intelligence and machine learning to forecast and manage traffic, modeling the interaction of public and private vehicles, or offering insights into smarter multi-modal transportation choices.

Baro Vehicles LTD

BARO Vehicles design connected & autonomous compact vehicles. We are aiming to bridge the gap between standars cars and autonomous vehicles. The autonomous car platform BARO CAV-P is the best solution to develop software for the next generation of vehicles and to use as a base to manufacture low-speed autonomous vehicles. Our product BARO One is a high technology, fully electric self driving car with Level 3 autonomy and is suitable for use on private land e.g. airports, business parks, university campus sites, holiday resorts and golf courses and offers unprecedented levels of technology, design and comfort.

Optimisation of vehicle fleets

We have developed the ConOP product that enables a wider, systems of systems approach where we optimise transport fleets at campus locations using a wide range of input parameters. We have taken this approach as we understand that high traffic  destinations have a wide range of priorities that need consideration, whether it be energy use, costs, labour or customer satisfaction. For each client site we can vary  preferences according to customer needs using a heuristic, multiobjective  optimisation algorithm.

For instance, at a budget airport we may prioritise cost and labour, whereas at a large Hub airport we might prioritise added value services and passenger services. Each scenario can model priorities for different parameters so client sites can determine whether there is a most effective solution for their needs or consider the impact of  different trade-offs. This algorithm is based on one that is successfully used in the airline industry to optimise aircraft movements and is the first time that it has been applied for surface transport.

Project Alloyed - An end to end Platform for CAV

Epitomical led Project Alloyed which set out to play a role in the build up of one of the four key areas identified in the UK’s Industrial Strategy , the Future of Mobility. The project has taken a usecase driven approach to identify and prioritise areas of research  and development together with 17 partners within the project consortium. The key technical objectives of the project were to study and where possible develop  prototype systems which: 
1. Allow vehicles and infrastructure to connect seamlessly independent of technology or location
2. Tightly integrates to existing and future in-vehicles technologies
3. Enable a services layer allowing the creation of both open and secure services

Executed over 15 months from August, 2017 this project is an initial foray towards delivering a broader vision. A number of work packages were identified to deliver project objectives with each work package assigned a leader supported by one or more project partners. The project culminates with a number of demonstrations of the systems and concepts developed over the course of the project.

Talon: Tools for autonomous logistics and mangement

Project Aim:To develop software to optimise the operations for connected autonomous vehicle fleets at city scale, to support both strategic and operational decision making and enhanced fleet management that meet the needs of our cities and people.

Primary Challenges; assimilating a variety of different data sources including traffic, infrastructure and weather, simulation scaling for city operations and real-time deployment of decision support system for fleets and cities

Key Successes: Delivered a new category of scalable fleet management tools, created a platform which can simulate anywhere in the world, developed an accessible, customisable user interface, integrated simulation engine with third party modules including SpatialOS, Unity and delivered user-focused trials in the UK’s world-leading CAV testbed environments

Imont

delivers highly scalable, distributed IoT software for the smart industry. Our software connects devices from different manufacturers, using many protocols and allows these to be coordinated locally and remotely without reliance on expensive cloud services. The software allows companies to bring custom solutions to market rapidly and at significant scale. Security is key to the Imont proposition and built in resilience and low latency response makes it ideally suited to applications where reliability is desired. Our cloud-less, hub-less solution removes cost barriers to entry in the market, and delivers a truly distributed edge-compute framework for IoT. 

Specialisms: Imont is a complete smart home platform that doesn’t need a central cloud or dedicated hub to operate. Imont’s SDK can sit on any connected device and allows remote access and voice control.

Meridian technology in LG soundbars and speakers

Combining our unrivalled sound quality and pioneering approach to audio with LG’s reputation for producing award winning, innovative consumer electronics, our unique collaboration delivers a range of solutions for the ultimate listening experience.

By applying our in-depth understanding of psychoacoustics and our world leading in-house expertise of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) we have developed key technologies such as Bass & Space and Image Elevation. These Meridian Audio technologies enhance the authenticity of the overall sound, removing the physical boundaries of the product.

Sensio Air

Sensio AIR is a smart air quality device that detects and identifies allergens, pollutants and harmful gases. The device identifies in realtime airborne particles like pollen, dust mites, mould spores and pet dander all while tracking harmful gas levels along with temperature, humidity and light intensity. The device is linked to a user-friendly app
that allows people to log their symptoms and returns tailored advice to improve the air and prevent further outbreaks.

Specialisms: Asthma and Allergy Prevention.
