C H A P T E R   N ° 23 Space Weather and Autonomous Vehicles

Dear reader,

SR Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.

In today’s post, we will look closer at the relation between space weather and fully autonomous vehicles. Moreover, we will explore how space weather interferes with the process between satellites and ground receivers, and how this can increase safety risks and reduce proper driving capabilities for autonomous vehicles. SR Hoplon will provide an overview and discuss the connection between the implemented advanced technologies within autonomous vehicles, and their dependency on critical space infrastructure.

SR Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!

C H A P T E R   N ° 22 Space Weather and The Road Transport Sector

Dear reader,

SR Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.

In today’s post we will look closer at the relation between space weather, the road transport sector, and ground transportation systems. Moreover, we will discuss the effects from this natural hazard on the energy sector and satellite industry, and the consequential cascading effects on ground transportation systems like roads, traffic signals, and ground-based communication networks.

Additionally, SR Hoplon will present and discuss the relation between space weather and today’s electrical vehicles (EVs) and vehicles of the future, that is; artificially intelligent (AI) 5G vehicles (i.e., autonomous/self-driven cars). Lastly, mitigation measures will be presented and discussed.

C H A P T E R   N ° 19 Space Weather, The Rail Transport Sector, and Mitigation Measures

 

 

Dear reader,

 

SR Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.

 

In today’s post, we will furtherly explore the relation between space weather and the railway transport sector. We will look closer at the creation of Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) and its relation to the Earth’s atmosphere. Additionally, we will discuss the interdependencies within critical infrastructure with a focus on the railway transport sector and the risks and vulnerabilities created from such dependencies. Lastly, a set of mitigation measures will be presented.
