Трёхмерная реконструкция аварий на трассе А-7: Патерна, Пикассент и Торрент

The operation "Exit" in Valencia province led to three simultaneous accidents on the A-7 highway, causing over six kilometers of traffic congestion. Accident analysts utilize three-dimensional documentation, including digital photogrammetry and laser scanning (LiDAR), to accurately capture collision points and vehicle trajectories. This data helps determine liability and structural deficiencies. The 3D models created allow for the calculation of impact speeds and simulation of vehicle interactions. Additionally, these technologies enable predictive simulations to test modifications for traffic management and improve safety measures, ultimately aiming to reduce accident rates on busy corridors.

2K Games confirms layoffs at Project Ethos shooter studio and hints at new design direction: ‘It’s become clear that changes need to be made’

31st Union, a studio under 2K Games, has confirmed layoffs affecting an undisclosed number of employees as it continues development on Project Ethos, a free-to-play hero shooter unveiled in 2024. Studio head Ben Brinkman indicated that changes were necessary to achieve the studio's goals. Project Ethos was initially described as a "roguelike hero shooter," but it allows players to choose randomized buffs during matches and features gameplay similar to Fortnite. The studio's previous head, Michael Condrey, was dismissed shortly after the game's announcement, and updates on Project Ethos have been limited since then. The layoffs at 31st Union follow similar cuts at 2K Games' Cloud Chamber in 2025. Take-Two Interactive's CEO has expressed disappointment over the lengthy development timelines for new titles, including the BioShock installment. Despite these challenges, Brinkman remains optimistic about the future of Project Ethos and the team's direction.
