Innovative chain for energy recovery from waste in natural parks (RELS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

Background The environmental and health impacts of improperly managed waste are key concerns for our society. If not properly managed, waste can cause a variety of impacts, especially on human health and climate change. Improperly managed waste produces carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases (GHGs), which when emitted will enhance the natural ...

Integrated system for safe transportation of children to school (SAFEWAY2SCHOOL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Between 1994 and 2001, 361 children were injured or killed during transportation to/from their school in Sweden, whereas 455 were killed or injured in Austria only in 2007 and 97 were killed in Italy in 2005. In a single school bus accident in Greece in 2003, 20 children lost their lives. Different as the above numbers may be, they all tell us one thing: Crashes involving school buses and crashes ...

2-WHEELER BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY (2-BE-SAFE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Powered Two Wheeler (PTW) users are greatly over-involved in serious and fatal crashes. They have between 5 and 25 times the risk of having a fatal crash compared to car drivers, depending on the country. The number of PTWs on European roads has more than doubled over the last two decades. The recent MAIDS (Motorcycle Accident In-Depth Study) study of PTW crashes in Europe found that behavioural ...
