The idea to found Bercman Technologies came from the real life need. We wanted to bring new fresh ideas and technologically capable products to the market. There are still too many traffic related accidents so we want to give our contribution. Our mission is to accelerate the progress towards self-driving vehicles in order to eliminate all traffic related fatalities.
The technologies are available if successfully implemented can save lives and avoiding accidents. We want to make the city a better place to live by modernizing old-school traffic technologies and provide connected infrastructure’s benefits to everyone.
The company's vision is to become a leading partner for clients in Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) market. C-ITS solutions enable increased traffic safety through automated communication between infrastructure and connected vehicles. We address the global intelligent transport system market, estimated to reach over €46 billion by 2025.

PROJECT PERIOD
04.09.2017 – 20.12.2017
PROJECT'S PURPOSE
The development unit project aims to confirm the technical feasibility and expected cost price of Bercman's Smart Pedestrian Crosswalk concept for serial production, physical prototyping and laboratory tests. Where necessary / possible, find ideas for refining the concept.
GRANT
2014-2020.4.4.2 The part of research and development activity
AMOUNT
3 920 €
PROJECT PERIOD
24.09.2018 – 15.01.2019
PROJECT'S PURPOSE
The aim of the project is to evaluate experimentally and theoretically the effectiveness of Bercman's Smart Crosswalk software and hardware object recognition algorithm and to make detailed suggestions for more accurate object identification. The project will create the basis for even more accurate identification of people and cars and brings increased road safety.
GRANT
2014-2020.4.2.3 Applied research in smart specialisation growth areas
AMOUNT
70 514 €
PROJECT PERIOD
01.04.2019 – 01.02.2020
PROJECT'S PURPOSE
The purpose of the applied research is to develop a highly accurate and advance level object recognition platform that would enable the Smart Pedestrian Crosswalk system to provide potentially life-saving situational awareness. A goal is a complex task that requires object recognition by combining a real-time database. Gathered knowledge can be applied to the development of other intelligent applications, including self-driving vehicles technology.
