Connect, record and compare all types of sensors and actuators
Any device suitable for connection with a computer, can be dealt with by RTMaps. Information from the sensors is acquired; processed data is sent to the actuators; inbetween, a working space is dedicated to the user.
Connections between various elements
are achieved graphically without any difficulty. The substitution of a sensor by another
is thus done quickly. Comparison of
information obtained according to various types of sensors or technologies is straightforward: video cameras, analogical ways, numerical, CANbus, GPS, radars, laser...
A "Recorder" allows the simultaneous recording of various tracks of information. Information is stored in "STDB", Synchronized Timestamped Databases. When replayed, the sequence is reproduced identically thanks to the data timestamps. It is possible to play information at the desired speed:
accelerated, slowed down, step by step...
Data Fusion in real time and prototype effectively
Data Fusion of information from various sensors, different or not, increase the reliability and robustness of the results. It also allows the use of less expensive sensors. Thanks to a precise timecode management, RTMaps allows to "synchronize" data and events. This dataflow control makes it possible to get, quickly and simply, reliable and reusable measurements. RTMaps can also send orders to various types of actuators or
start actions on events (see for example the lanekeeping application). During acquisition, the data can be posted, recorded and processed
in real time. The parameter setting of the components authorizes in
particular a precise management of the data flows. Several assumptions can be easily tested in order to satisfy
the most complex needs.
RTMaps brings a methodologie and a link between reality and simulation. It is easier to perform more tests in
simulated situation with real data, to identify problems
and to correct them progressively, before engaging the product in
real conditions of experimentation or production. RTMaps takes part naturally in the quality of the
developments. |
Preserve and share knowledge and data
It is always difficult to collect data corresponding to the real situations. With RTMaps, such sequences can be preserved and easily exchanged thanks to the "STDB". They are reusable at will.
The data bases, as well as the implemented
algorithms, are independent of the operating system. The "STDB" format is open and documented.
Any information can be shared and duplicated without technical
difficulty. RTMaps allows the users to build
important data banks in order to capitalize and share all the experiments.
Team work and project management are really simplified.
New releases and updates
Intempora permanently improves RTMaps. Updates are regularly posted on the Internet site and accessible to all the users under maintenance contract.
Such updates can stemm from the answear to the customer's needs or from Intempora's initiative. Major release are the results of
important technological,
functional and/or ergonomic improvements. The migration towards each higher
version is easy. The investments of each user are thus preserved; data bases and diagrams remain valid and can benefit of the
new tools and available evolutions. The third version of RTMaps is installed and used by our clients since june 2005.
A controled
investment
The graphical interface allows a fast installation and an easy evolution of the different applications. Functional bricks (in the form of components) and data (STDB) are
exchangeable and reusable. The test and experimention phases are simple and fast to implement. While allowing to save a considerable amount of time, RTMaps' use reduces the development costs and the « time to market ».
In perfomance and efficiency, RTMaps' potential warranties a fast and convincing return on investment.
