• Researchers Suggest Using Blockchain to Boost Self-Driving Cars’ Security

  Scientists from ITMO’s Faculty of Secure Information Technologies have suggested applying blockchain technology to monitoring road traffic. Their algorithm will make it possible for driverless cars to create unalterable activity logs to document any road accident they detect. The accidents will be kept in databases to identify potential “black spots”. The project was showcased at the International Conference on Information Networking 2020 (ICOIN 2020) in Barcelona and is published in the SCOPUS-indexed proceedings of the Conference.

• Creators of Road Accident Solver on How Their Project Saves Lives

  Road Accident Solver is a project developed as part of ITMO University’s Future Technologies acceleration program and focuses on automated road accident analysis and automated filling out of European Accident Statement forms. The project also includes a map of road accidents based on user data. Those involved in such incidents can provide information on their cars, the conditions of each accident and its location. Such a system saves time and identifies problematic areas. The system also helps fight insurance fraud. The project’s founder Evgeny Tyulkin spoke to ITMO.NEWS about his team’s work and the goals that motivated them over the past five years of development.

• ITMO Scientists Working on New Generation of Aircraft Fire Safety

  ITMO University’s International Laboratory Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Systems is developing a fire safety system for modern aircraft. The project is planned to include the creation of a multispectral security system that will vastly improve the accuracy of smoke particle detection and reduce the percentage of false alarms. The designers say that the system may also be used in industrial environments to keep track of harmful substances in the air.
