JETEX MAKES FLYING WITH A REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT POSSIBLE

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jetex customers are now able to choose to fly with a reduced carbon footprint from six key global locations following an agreement with Shell. This demonstrates how general aviation service providers can support the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and its commitment to reducing the industry's carbon emissions by 50% by 2050.

Jetex, an award–winning global leader in executive aviation, is fully aware of its responsibility towards the natural environment and to future generations, and pursues a comprehensive environmental strategy.

In today's world, private aviation is a vital global catalyst for growth, providing access to markets, supporting jobs and promoting travel recovery. In addition to its many positive economic effects, though, air transport contributes to the production of carbon emissions. In response, Jetex is working with Shell to offer customers an option to offset the carbon emissions of their air travel. Offsets represent an immediate measure that can be deployed at scale by compensating for CO2 emissions.

Every day, more than 200 aircraft fueled by Jetex take to the sky across the world. Being at the forefront of aviation fuel efficiency, Jetex is determined to reduce carbon emissions to continue developing without devaluing the environment. The new tool allows Jetex customers to calculate their flight emissions associated with the use of jet fuel and reduce them by choosing to invest in environment conservation programs. The programs are certified by international organizations such as the Verified Carbon Standard as well as Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Standard, and include protection or redevelopment of natural ecosystems "" such as forests, grasslands and wetlands "" to lower concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. To recognize customers' input, Jetex will be issuing certificates acknowledging individual contributions.

Adel Mardini, Founder & CEO of Jetex, commented: "With private aviation growing, we are even more aware that our future has to be sustainable. Solving the complex issue of climate protection requires a multifaceted response, and offsetting emissions on flights is just one step that we are adopting to reduce our environmental impact. By working with Shell, we have carefully chosen environmental programs to ensure they are proven and deliver CO2 emissions reductions as well as benefits to the communities and local biodiversity."

"We look forward to working with Jetex to help enable their customers to compensate for flight emissions by choosing Shell's high–quality nature–based carbon offsets," said Anna Mascolo, President of Global Aviation at Shell. "Until sustainable aviation fuels and technology are developed at scale, carbon offsets will play a key role in helping the aviation sector achieve net–zero emissions."

The new service is initially offered at Dubai, Paris, Singapore, Dublin, Dusseldorf and Salalah airports, with more locations being added as more of our customers want to lead the way to fly with reduced carbon footprint.

With energy and resource conservation being at the heart of its operations, Jetex is always looking to deliver the best value to its customers globally while helping them to reduce their carbon footprint. The new carbon offset program will provide a sound foundation for further globally orchestrated and genuinely effective environmental protection measures within the private aviation sector.

LeddarTech Launches PixSet, the Industry’s First Full-Waveform Flash LiDAR Dataset

QUEBEC CITY, Feb. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LeddarTech , a global leader in Level 1–5 ADAS and AD sensing technology, announces its first publicly available sensor dataset for advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving research and development called the Leddar PixSet. This dataset is the first of its kind in the industry to include full–waveform data from LeddarTech's Leddar Pixell, a 3D solid–state flash LiDAR sensor. LeddarTech will offer these datasets free of charge for academic and research purposes.

Sensor fusion techniques are widely used to improve the performance and robustness of computer vision algorithms. Datasets such as the Leddar PixSet allow academic and engineering research teams specializing in ADAS and AD technology to use existing sets of sensor data to test and develop advanced software and to run simulations without having to assemble new sensor suites and collect their own dataset.

An instrumented vehicle was utilized in the development of the dataset. The various scenes were recorded in high–density urban and suburban environments as well as on the highway. The data was further augmented through exposure to various weather, lighting (e.g., sunny, cloudy, rainy), and illumination (e.g., day, night, twilight) conditions. The Leddar PixSet provides information from a wide variety of situations, creating real–world data for advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving.

Dataset key features:

  • Data from an autonomous vehicle's comprehensive sensor suite
  • Includes full–waveform data from 3D solid–state flash LiDARs
  • 29k frames in 97 sequences, with more than 1.3M 3D boxes annotated
  • Various environments, weather conditions, and times of day
  • Open–source API and dataset viewer

The Leddar PixSet was developed with the collaboration of Silicon Valley–based Deepen AI, which provided comprehensive object annotations. These new datasets provide an opportunity for 3D computer vision to go beyond LiDAR point clouds with a full–waveform LiDAR dataset and are now available on the LeddarTech website.

"LeddarTech is now and has always been committed to the advancement of autonomous driving. With the release of the Leddar PixSet, we are taking one step closer to making this dream a reality. By providing these datasets free of charge to scientific and academic communities, LeddarTech is supporting and encouraging the growth and success of autonomous driving and other applications requiring LiDAR technology," stated Pierre Olivier, Chief Technology Officer of LeddarTech.

"Precisely annotated data is key in the technology development of autonomous vehicles and an important step towards achieving safer roads. Integrating Deepen's AI–powered annotation capabilities and LeddarTech environmental sensing platforms for autonomous vehicles, Leddar PixSet provides a diverse set of high–quality datasets to move the community forward," stated Mohammad Musa, Founder & CEO at Deepen AI.
