First price in the CVIS Application Innovation Contest

In an earlier post I mentioned that we were entering the CVIS Application Innovation Contest. It turned out that we made it through all the way to the finals at the ITS World Congress in Stockholm 21-25 September.

At the congress we displayed and explained our contribution, a cooperative pedestrian warning application, together with the three other finalists. It was up to the visitors to vote for the application they favored the most. And we ended up winning!

In addition to the honor of being voted as the winner by colleagues from the ITS community a cash price of €25.000 was also at stake. Read more about the competition at the CVIS website, a Swedish press-release is available here, Swedish radio have also covered it.
