In January this year, SAP released the second version of the Travel Accelerator. This article aims to acquaint the reader with the concept of Travel Accelerator 2.0, its capabilities, and limitations.

I believe there are few companies with hundreds of specialists worldwide who can build custom solutions using the Travel Accelerator.

Understanding this topic should expand the circle of knowledgeable hybris experts.

Some documentation comes with the installation package, however, the documentation from version 2 only explains the updates in 2.0.

For some reason, the majority of the documentation written for the first version has not been included in the second version.

I hope this comprehensive article will help you to see the big picture and understand how the Travel Accelerator works.

A well-known joke comes to mind (slightly updated):

“Trump:

– We have real democracy! Anyone can step onto the lawn in front of the White House and shout: “Trump is a goat!”

Putin:

– In our country, anyone can also go to Red Square and shout: “Trump is a goat!”

Today, a massive demonstration about Trump [and Putin 🙂 – check out the photos] took place. The demonstrations occurred in a multitude of cities across the USA, but we specifically came across the one in the capital. There were a lot of people: the procession moved past us for no less than forty minutes. Police cars were bringing up the rear of the march.

Russia is mentioned almost every half hour on the radio in various contexts.

This is us at the Museum of Fine Arts.

— Daddy, there’s no need to buy a band-aid, you can just ask for one!

I explain to her that it’s not nice to do that, and besides, the waiters don’t have any.

— They definitely have them! You’ll see!

Returns a minute later with a band-aid.

I just didn’t notice, and caught Masha in the museum with a band-aid she got from the reception. She also had a sore foot and was suffering.

In New York, a restaurant gave me a band-aid for a cut finger in literally a second.

I think it must be part of some essential kit almost everywhere in public places. I don’t know what else, but in case of blisters, like Masha and I had, it can help.)

Liza woke up and looked out the window. And there, for the second time this year, spring had arrived! Just yesterday there were no such flowers

This boring intersection is the most dangerous in our town. I know of five to seven major accidents that have occurred here, with burning trees and cars on the pedestrian paths. The collisions are always the same: a car coming from the right doesn’t see another approaching from the hill. The problem is that there’s a pit beyond the hill, completely hiding the car.

Stopped by North Bethesda Public School

In the states, they economize heavily on people if they can be replaced by smart systems. I came up with the idea of a vehicle access control system for secured sites, I’ll leave it here so I don’t forget.

Entry/exit. Two barriers, a button, the driver approaches, presses the button. At that moment: the vehicle is weighed, the driver’s face is captured (attempt), the vehicle’s number is recorded (attempt), the make of the vehicle is identified (attempt), attempts are made to connect with the driver’s card, if he has one. All this information is checked in a database, and then either the left barrier opens, or – the right one. The right leads to a check/document issuance/registration etc., if something goes wrong. For instance, if the weight doesn’t match the recorded weight, or the driver is not the one photographed, or the vehicle is too dirty to read the number. A similar check is conducted upon exit. A database is formed based on successful entries, influencing the success of subsequent checks.

I came up with a rather educational little task with an impressive result: install a video camera and 2 laser distance sensors at the front of a car. With the help of these simple devices, the car “hooks onto” the one in front and keeps pace. It’s simple. Furthermore, when the car ahead turns, one edge becomes slightly closer than the other, which signals the following car to plan a turn at the same place in the same way. If the system is well-tuned, you can create a train of cars that increases in speed;) why hasn’t anyone done this yet?!
