The whole method is embedded into an smartphone App. The method considers two options: Computing the total cost independently of the entry point and computing the total cost depending of the entry point. The method allows user authentification into a certification authority. Pre-paid cards can be used to buy credit.

Summary of the technology
The whole method is embedded into an smartphone App. The method considers two options: Computing the total cost independently of the entry point and computing the total cost depending of the entry point. The method allows user authentification into a certification authority. Pre-paid cards can be used to buy credit.
Description of the technology
We have developed a new toll collection method to be used in SMART cities and tollroad scenarios. The method can be used as a contacless payment method in High Ocuppancy Vehicles (HOV) lanes in cities and highways. The method preserves privacy of passengers and can be implemented and used without need of additional tools in the vehicle.
Specifications
Our method combines a new cipher primitive based in identity-based dynamic threshold signature with a new technique of key distribution to automatize the payment. NFC as well as Bluetooth are used as a communication technology.

Researchers at the University of Alicante have devised a system to partially absorb the energy generated in a crash involving at least one motor vehicle traveling at a high or medium speed. It is a passive protection system for vehicles which absorbs the maximum amount of mechanical energy in a crash with minimal added weight and volume. Assumes additional protection that enhances the vehicle's passive safety, minimizing the consequences of a collision for the passengers. The system has an innovative design that allows placing it in different positions inside the vehicle or making structural parts and is manufactured with advanced materials. Innovative aspects The system is designed to provide protection that goes beyond the current regulations for passenger cars, as it is able to absorb a larger proportion of the mechanical energy generated in a collision. Also improve the passive safety of vehicles (vans, trucks) or special vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks, armored vehicles) in circulation. It also provides substantial improvements for heavy duty vehicles, contrary to what is happening now should be able to absorb themselves much of the energy produced in a collision with a vehicle lighter, thereby minimizing the potential damage that may occur in people who travel light vehicle. The system consists in several stages which act consecutively on impact, absorbing energy in a gradual and proportional to the energy generated in the collision, which is a lower acceleration on passengers, thereby reducing the potential injuries. Less weight, volume and system size compared to traditional structural systems, through the use of advanced materials: tensile filaments that act in case of collision, thermosets broken links which act by absorbing the impact energy generated in the fiber and combined with high strength composite metal / polymer composite micro / nanostructures

In the context of transportation, innovative aspects come from the use of new sensors that provide richer information than current sensor technologies, as well as the novelty of the proposed applications. On the other hand, the automatic creation of thermal efficiency digital maps has not been proposed up to now. These maps will be very useful for local authorities to improve the energy efficiency of their local communities.

The passive safety systems are elements incorporated to the vehicles in order to minimize the consequences of an accident that implies the collision of the vehicle. The use of standard technologies in motor vehicles does not avoid completely the consequences of the accidents and thus a high number of them are mortals. Moreover, thousands of persons including children and elderly are gravely wounded or died each year in traffic accidents. This technology developed lets the production of new advanced safety devices with an internal structure and an innovator design (fractal structure) that improves the absorption of the mechanical energy generated in a collision of a vehicle. This system is complementary to the standard safety systems as the belt or airbags. The advanced materials used and the design of the internal structure of parts and components let to develop new systems with light weight and a high efficiency rate compared to the standard devices: metallic tubes, standard bumpers, program of structural deformation, etc. Redesigning the internal structure of standard components or by means of the development of new devices specifically designed for this use, this technology could be incorporated in any type of vehicle. The technology could be incorporated to the standard industrial production methods and does not affect to the standard safety systems of the vehicles. Parts, components and specific devices with the same external shape than the standard ones but with a higher performance could be developed. In cars and other vehicles, the chassis, bumpers, the engine supports and the perimeter of the passengers’ box could incorporate this technology. The tests with prototypes based on the technology reach a high capacity of absorption energy up to 1 MJ/m3 with a gradual absorption. The most important innovative aspects are: • The technology can be incorporated to any vehicle or component: heavy and light vehicles, industrial vehicles, cars, trucks, body car, bumpers, passenger box, etc. • Innovator design with a high performance in absorption of mechanical energy. • Advanced materials let a high performance and low weight: composites with an advanced nicro/nano structure, fiber/metal materials combination. • New devices with high capacity of mechanical energy absorption could be developed. The energy is absorbed in a gradual manner. • The absorption of standard components could be improved by means of the redesigning their internal structure with this technology. • Quick design of parts and components with high performance and lightweight. • Easy implementation on a large scale production. • The standard safety systems of the vehicle are not affected by the use of this technology.
