The Mobile World Congress<\/a> is not only a cell phone show where brands such as Xiaomi or Samsung<\/a> show off their best innovations. It is also, as we are seeing with Hyperloop<\/a> or virtual and augmented reality glasses, a place to show the latest technological trends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most outstanding innovations has been presented by Erum Vial, a company that is developing “intelligent cones” traffic<\/strong>, officialized by the Directorate General for Traffic<\/a> (DGT), to help signaling the works and works being carried out on the road, as well as accidents and incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n

Erum Vial is not the only company working on this technology, as others such as Netum are also working on such inventions. However, the DGT<\/a> is clear that it will soon integrate these devices<\/strong> to make driving on the road even safer for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is PF Cone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The PF Cone<\/strong>, as it has been named by Erum Vial, works like a classic cone. Its purpose is, therefore, to signal both construction sites and accidents occurring in the middle of the road<\/strong>. But it has some very interesting additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of its improvements is an overhead light for improved visibility. This is the integration of a high-intensity 360-degree yellow LED light<\/strong>. Its range reaches up to one kilometer away, so it can greatly help visibility in case of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the great advantage of the PF Cone is that it is connected thanks to an integrated SIM<\/strong>. This allows it to communicate instantly with infrastructures and other vehicles, both emergency and regular. The SIM has already been tested through a Vodafone<\/a> NB-IoT network, which is the operator that has the connectivity services of the DGT 3.0, but it can also be connected through other operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PF Cone sends a signal every 1.6 minutes to all connected devices<\/strong>. It thus signals the location of the place where it is placed, as well as its function: to signal a construction site or an accident. Digital cars that are connected and pass by the site will also receive a signal, thus knowing immediately what is happening in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best features of the PF Cone is that they can be manipulated remotely<\/strong>, so that the DGT<\/a> operators are able to control them without moving from the site. In addition, they are waterproof, have a great autonomy thanks to their own batteries and are homologated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, thanks to the PF Cone connection, there are many more functions that can be accessed from the DGT<\/strong>. These tools can measure speed, traffic and emissions, and Erum Vial is working on other new functions. In this way, they could become great allies of the DGT.<\/p>\n\n\n

There is still some time to optimize all the technical issues that will allow PF Cone to be of great help<\/strong>. But, for the time being, the first tests have been carried out and have been seen at the MWC<\/a>, and it promises to be a revolutionary invention for road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
