Rabat – Morocco won two gold medals and dozens of prizes at the 47th International Exhibition Of Inventions in Geneva April 10-14.
Two laboratories from the Moroccan School of Engineering Science (EMSI), SMARTilab and LPRI, represented Morocco in the exhibition that brought together 800 innovators from 40 countries with more than 1,000 projects.
The engineering school also received dozens of prizes and distinctions from the federations of France, China, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Egypt, Russia, the Maldives, and Thailand.
EMSI received a gold medal for “SmarTraffic,” a decentralized system to intelligently manage road traffic by identifying emergency vehicles, such as police vehicles, ambulances, and firefighting trucks.
The students based the project on radio frequency identification and image processing. It can also control traffic lights dynamically.
EMSI’s second project, “Smarty Factory 4.0,” is a data acquisition device.
