ART, Advanced Recognition Technologies, exhibited its smARTcar proprietary technology
at the Paris INCARtech conference held at the CNIT, Paris La Defense, December
5-6. Synthesising both voice and writing recognition, ART’s fully integrated solution
provides smARTcar drivers with new and safer ways to naturally control many of
their vehicles’ electronic systems.
Voice dialling has already proven its superior safety for hands-free operation
of mobile cellular phones. Now smARTcar deploys the same voice interface to
activate and control embedded automotive systems — lights, wipers, windows,
a/c and heating — and accessories like the car radio-cassette/CD player.

While voice activation may be the perfect solution for most situations, for
some extreme-noise environments in-car natural handwriting recognisers can be
more effective.
For particular systems handwriting may simply be preferable – like sending
short text messages (SMS) over the cellular network or selecting a new destination
for the car navigation system without taking your eyes from the road. Activated
through fingertip writing onto a touchpad embedded in the steering wheel or
console, this is as safe and accurate as voice control. Handwriting recognition
also works for ignition security-lock control activated by a personal signature.
SmARTcar has fingertip handwriting recognition accurate to 93% on a bumpy road,
while its voice recognition gives a 95% accuracy rate in a noisy car environment.
