BME Department of Automotive Technologies is pleased to announce its participation in the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) 2024, which is be held from September 8-11 in Xiamen, China. This year’s event is particularly special for us as Hungary will be featured as the Guest of Honor, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

As a prominent representative of the Hungarian pavilion, our department was invited to showcase our latest research results, helping to highlight Hungary’s innovative presence on the global stage. We are proud to present our Intelligent Pedestrian Crossing solution, which is based on a real-time digital twin framework. This cutting-edge technology brings the future of transportation to life for visitors through an immersive AR experience. Our exhibit can be found at booth C312.

In collaboration with DriveByCloud Kft., a university spinoff company founded by our colleagues, we are demonstrating the synergy between academic research and industrial application. This partnership exemplifies the successful translation of research outcomes into real-world solutions with commercial potential.

Innovation and Research on the International Stage

For our department, CIFIT 2024 is not only an opportunity to showcase technological advancements but also a chance to deepen research collaborations and build new relationships within the international professional community.

Dr. Zsolt Szalay, Head of the Department of Automotive Technologies, commented on the event:
“CIFIT 2024 is an excellent platform for us to not only demonstrate our intelligent transportation solutions but also to establish new international partnerships that can help drive the technologies of the future. Innovations like the intelligent pedestrian crossing contribute to solving global transportation challenges and open up new avenues for research collaboration.”

By participating in this event, we aim to gather valuable feedback from industry leaders and further refine our solutions to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
