Unipart Logistics wins major safety award for 10th consecutive year

OXFORD, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Unipart Logistics, a division of the Unipart Group of companies, has won the prestigious Sword of Honour award for world-class safety for the 10th consecutive year. The award, which is presented by the British Safety Council, is recognised as the pinnacle of achievement in the world of health and safety management.

<a…

Unipart Rail, the company’s rail division, was also awarded a Sword of Honour, taking Unipart Group’s combined total ‘Swords’ to nearly 60 since 2011, more than any other organisation in its sector.

The British Safety Council recognised Unipart Logistics once again after an impressive 98.24% score in an extensive audit across sites.

The auditor commented: «Unipart Logistics is a progressive organisation who work with their staff to develop inspirational and visionary leaders.»

Andy Pyne, Unipart Logistics Operations Director, said: «To achieve this year’s Sword of Honour, Unipart Logistics demonstrated senior level leadership and sponsorship in influencing behaviours both within the organisation and with our stakeholders and supply chain.

«This was particularly important in 2020 as we implemented extensive risk management programmes to manage the pandemic, utilising digital technologies to enable us to ensure implementation and monitor the effectiveness of our Covid-Secure programme, which was implemented well ahead of government requirements.

«The use of digital technologies for auditing and trend analysis had been expanding before the pandemic and has strengthened the whole health and safety management system. This enabled us to improve processes, reduce risk, and increase behavioural compliance.

«As we have many sites internationally, it is vital that we give each site general manager a roadmap to grow his or her site’s behavioural safety culture. This ensures continuous improvement and enables us to share best practice very quickly using tools like the Digital Communication Cells.

«These powerful information portals provide teams with up-to-the minute business data vital for day-to-day activity. They make it possible for teams to meet virtually anywhere across the globe, and review performance data in real time, working together to solve problems and access important news and information. An important addition to the Digital Communication Cell was the Covid-S application which recorded and measured employee safety concerns in real time for every team.

«The enhanced communication stemming from Unipart’s WorkWell employee wellbeing programme has also been particularly important this year, raising awareness of mental, physical, financial and emotional health.»

Projection units use cathode ray tubes, LEDs, or liquid crystal displays to project the image. Projection units can be adjusted either below or above combiners. Projector projects image through the laser beam. Projector units are expected to lead the overall head-up display market.

Market for AR-based head-up displays projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period

Technological advancements, as well as increasing consumer demand for advanced safety functions, are expected to drive the AR-based HUD market. Monitoring multiple in-vehicle displays while driving can trigger mishaps on the road. To reduce cognitive workload while driving, AR-based HUD systems can reduce distraction and make driving safer.

Travelers Are Checking In To Spontaneous Trips In 2021

DALLAS, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Spontaneity will be the word of the year for 2021 travelers as a new global study reveals 89% of U.S. travelers intend to be more impulsive than ever, following 2020’s cancelled trips, boredom and all round ‘year of nothing’. The new report from Hotels.com^®, ‘The 2021 Upgrade’, has uncovered how this new lust for spontaneity will have a ripple effect on the hotel and travel industries, as travelers say ‘yes’ to more.

…

Take me away…and quick! The global study showed that 32% are dubbing 2020 the ‘lost year’ for travel prompting more than a third (35%) to be more likely to drop everything to vacay if they can in 2021. Hotels.com’s booking data supports this, with almost half of bookings in June 2020 (when lockdown rules eased for the first time for many) being made three or fewer days from the time of search.

It’s all about being spontaneous AF these days with over a quarter revealing they would say yes to more last-minute trips (28%). All rules are out the window with one in five (26%) saying they would take off on a long-haul trip for just a few days or make no plans for the trip in favor of being spontaneous when they arrive (25%). A further 17% are ready to live their best luxury #HotelLife and will be booking a five-star hotel for their 2021 getaways.

Experts at Hotels.com also predict this extravagant attitude will have a dramatic impact on hotel booking behavior, with 2021 being the year to really ‘treat yo self’. Compared to pre-pandemic times over a quarter (26%) would now book a better hotel room, and nearly a quarter would spontaneously say yes to a room upgrade if offered when booking (24%).

«2020 was the year of staying home, postponing trips and posting old vacation pictures on social media. This year, travelers are ready to ‘seize the stay’ when travel returns and they feel comfortable to take the trips they missed out on» shared Josh Belkin, Vice President, Global brand Hotels.com. «We saw that when travel restrictions eased for many in July and August 2020, over half of bookings were made three days or less ahead of their stay, compared to 40% in 2019. People are ready to channel their inner spontaneous self, dropping everything at the last minute to get away and enjoy the best that hotel life has to offer.»

Dear hotel, we miss you

Travelers are ready to get in that robe and raid the mini bar again with a quarter of people saying the thing they miss most about traveling is being able to stay in an awesome hotel. They have been craving that sweet #HotelLife, missing relaxing in a plush robe (13%), the peace and quiet (30%) breakfast buffets (23%), hotel restaurants and bars (29%), rooms with a view (26%), ordering room service (18%), visiting the hotel pool (20%), treating themselves to the hotel spa (17%) and of course the incredible hotel bed (18%).

This craving means travelers will take a different approach to hotel bookings in 2021 – it will be all about upgrading the experience. When asked what new experiences they would say ‘yes’ to, around one in five (20%) would splurge on a spa treatment, uber-luxe hotel restaurant (20%), or a fancy cocktail in the hotel’s bar (24%).

Travelers will also be finding ways to ‘seize the stay’ as much as they can, with nearly one in five stating they would spontaneously book a fancy hotel for a staycation for the weekend (24%) or take advantage of a mid-week deal in their local trendy hotel (23%).

The rise in spontaneous travel

To plan or not to plan? Travelers want to be carefree and relaxed by making spontaneous decisions (32%), not having to plan and just doing what they wanted (28%) and saying ‘yes’ to new experiences (24%). Time to turn on the ‘out of office’ and switch off for that vacation.

The research also revealed the lengths that many will go to for a vacation and a hotel stay in 2021, with travelers admitting do all the cleaning in their house (29%), give up sweets (24%), not leave their house (23%), social media apps (17%) and even sex (16%) for a month. 2020, you have pushed us to our limits!

Same day travel driven by need to be spontaneous

Travel-hungry hotel-lovers are ready to commit to spontaneity, with 29% claiming they’d be ready to drop it all and leave the same day if given the opportunity.

With spontaneity comes packing pressure. Most would go nowhere without their digital lifelines, with over half (55%) prioritising their phone, laptop and charger – beating out a change of clothes (46%), a swimsuit (29%) and sleepwear (30%).

Aptiv Leverages Unique Brain and Nervous System Portfolio to Optimize Vehicle Architecture with New Zone Controllers

DUBLIN, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global technology company enabling the future of mobility, today announced zone controllers that distribute high-speed data and power between sensors and peripherals, while separating input / output (I/O) from compute in the vehicle.

As part of Smart Vehicle Architecture, Aptiv’s approach to enabling the software-defined vehicle, the zone controllers allow OEMs to break apart the vehicle’s physical complexity into more manageable zones and further drive up-integration of distributed ECUs, reducing the weight and lowering total system costs in the vehicle.

«Thanks to our unique position with both the brain and the nervous system of the vehicle, Aptiv is perfectly positioned to help our customers optimize the performance and cost of their vehicles,» said Kevin Clark, president and CEO. «Aptiv’s powerful zone controllers sit at the intersection of these capabilities, helping them reduce complexity, weight and cost, while putting customers one step closer to the software-defined, electric vehicles of the future.»

As a high-speed data and power hub, Aptiv zone controllers simplify complexity by separating I/O from compute, while supporting standardized interfaces and enabling «plug and play» devices. For example, instead of connecting directly to a dedicated ECU, devices connect to an Aptiv zone controller, which then connects to a domain controller over a single common interface. This reduces complexity and improves scalability by allowing domain controllers to focus on higher-level software while maintaining a separate development cycle from the I/O. It also simplifies wiring harnesses to allow more automated assembly and reduces costs.

Aptiv’s deep expertise in advanced vehicle software and hardware architecture, including the insights from over a decade of automated driving experience, informed the development of Aptiv’s zone controllers. This has resulted in several key benefits for next-generation vehicles:

Reduced Complexity: Breaking apart the physical complexity of the vehicle simplifies manufacturing while enabling automation to ensure quality and lower cost, while up-integration of distributed ECUs provides compute functionality inside the zones that can be used for feature consolidation.
Intelligent Power Management: The zone controllers manage power distribution throughout a vehicle centrally. In the past, wires needed to allow enough tolerance for peak load without having a melting fuse blow. With the benefits of smart fusing, wires can be specified to the physical limit of the load over a specified period of time. This also allows Aptiv’s zone controllers to be flexibly located, which simplifies packaging and reduces cost.
Predictive Maintenance: Aptiv’s software can detect when wires attached to the zone controller are close to failing and pass that information back to predictive maintenance systems, helping drivers and fleet operators address potential problems before they affect vehicle operation.
