Driving simulator to perform different tests related to car driving.
Professor Julia Salom is the person in charge of the Laboratory of GIS and Remote Sensing located at the Faculty of Geography and History of the UV. Its aim is to provide the necessary infrastructure for making cartography associated with its research projects, as well as for researching in the field of Geographic Information Systems. It has a server and several networked computers, in which different specialised programmes are installed along with the corresponding peripherals for data input and output.
It is a high-performance mass storage computer system, with a set of redundant disks that allows a 24-hour service to be offered. The technical characteristics of the equipment are as follows:
- 19-inch rack format.
- 4 x 10 GbE iSCSI iSCSI host channels / ports with SFP+ connector.
- 2 SAS expansion ports.
- Support for RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, 60.
- Redundant controller and hot swap.
- 2 GB cache memory per controller.
- Hot swap cache battery per controller.
- Dynamic capacity expansion.
- LUN Mapping.
- Possibility of hot spare and hot swap disks.
- Redundant power supply and fan modules.
- Backplane for 16 SAS 6 Gbit disks.
- 16 Hitachi 600 Gbytes 15,000 rpm 6 Gbit SAS disks.
- Capacity to support up to 112 SAS 6 Gbit disks.
- SES/SMART.
- Management via LCD with keypad, telnet over Ethernet and web browser with GUI.
- Remote alarm notification.
Consolidated group with proven experience in epidemiology and environmental health research. Bibliographic database with more than 6000 references.
Its aim is to provide the IIDL researchers with the infrastructure necessary for the mapping associated with their research projects using Geographic Information Systems (SIG)
Software for statistical data analysis.
The UCG has, among other scientific instrumentation, two satellite image reception antennas corresponding to the MSG (Meteosat Second Generation) and NOAA satellites, as well as a reception station for obtaining images from the TERRA, AQUA and NPP satellites (www.uv.es/iplsat/).
Test room with driving simulator.
A unique and versatile place for training in research and excellence in the field of social sciences. Equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructures and equipment, this laboratory is divided into three rooms, dedicated to the application of quantitative and qualitative social research techniques in all phases of the research process (collection, registration and data and information analysis)
The UCG has software licences for satellite image processing.
The UV Statistics Unit works with experts in the use of computer equipment and specific software. The main software used for data analysis is the free R Software.
A steel gantry with a span of 18 m and a gauge of 550 m, located on the CV 35 road, is available for the evaluation of traffic monitoring systems in real conditions of luminosity and traffic. The gantry consists of 3 mobile CCTV cameras of different quality, an infrared spotlight, an electronic toll sensor and a magnetic sensor located under the gantry. The information from the systems is sent to an ERU and from there to the laboratory from where images are received in real time and the installed equipment can be controlled.
The UCG has thermal cameras working in the 8-14 micrometre band for in situ measurement of the earth’s surface temperature.
The UCG has numerous thermal radiometers working in the 8-14 micrometre band for in situ measurement of the earth’s surface temperature.
