eUropean naturalistic Driving and Riding for Infrastructure & Vehicle safety and Environment (UDRIVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Road transport is indispensable for the exchange of goods and persons, but at the same time has severe negative consequences, among others related to road safety and environment. In order to meet EU targets, both the number of road crashes and vehicle emission levels need to be reduced substantially. For identifying the next generation of measures that will enable us to actually reach these target ...

Life Cycle Engineering approach to develop a novel EU-harmonized sustainability certification system for cost-effective, safer and greener road infrastructures (LCE4ROADS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The EU Ecolabel identifies products and services that contribute to sustainability because they have demonstrated a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle. There are already more than 17,000 EU Ecolabelled products on the market, but there are no references for road products and infrastructuresThe concept of the LCE4ROADS project arises from the necessity of a new, green, holisti ...

Assessment methodologies for forward looking Integrated Pedestrian and further extension to Cyclists Safety Systems (AsPeCSS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

According to the World Health Organisation Global status report on road safety 2009, pedestrians account for more than 19% of road fatalities in the EU-27. It is well known that most accidents with pedestrians are caused by the driver being in alert or misinterpretation of the situation. For that reason advanced forward looking integration safety systems have a high potential to improve safety for ...

interactIVe

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

The interactIVe project addresses the development and evaluation of next-generation safety systems for Intelligent Vehicles, based on active intervention. Safety technologies have shown outstanding capabilities for supporting the driver in hazardous situations. Despite their effectiveness, currently available systems are typically implemented as independent functions. This results in multiple expe ...

Thoracic injury assessment for improved vehicle safety (THORAX)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"About 41,600 people were killed and more than 1.7 million injured in European road accidents in 2005. Although the number of road fatalities has declined by more than 17% since 2001, more efforts will have to be made if the EC's targets on reduction of road fatalities and injuries are to be met. The THORAX Project will focus on reduction and prevention of thoracic injuries, one of the dominant ca ...

Coordination of Vehicle and Road Safety Initiatives (COVER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"In 2005, around 41,600 people were killed and more than 1.7 million injured in European road accidents. Although the number of road fatalities has declined by more than 17% since 2001, greater efforts will have to be made if the European Commission’s target of halving the number of deaths on the roads by 2010 is to be met. To realise the targets for road safety in the future, stakeholders indicat ...

Assessment of Integrated Vehicle Safety Systems for improved vehicle safety (ASSESS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"ASSESS mobilises the European research community and car industry to develop a relevant set of test and assessment methods applicable to a wide range of integrated vehicle safety systems. Methods will be developed for driver behavioural aspects, pre crash sensing performance and crash performance under conditions influenced by pre crash driver and vehicle actions. The gained know-how will be impl ...

Frontal Impact and Compatibility Assessment Research (FIMCAR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"For the real life assessment of vehicle’s safety in frontal collision the compatibility (described by the self protection level and the structural interaction) between the opponents is crucial. Although compatibility has been analysed worldwide for years, no final assessment approach was defined. Taking into account the EEVC WG15 and the FP5 VC-COMPAT project activities, two test approaches are t ...

euroFOT (European Field Operational Test on Active Safety Functions in vehicles) (euroFOT)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

The Intelligent Car Initiative has identified road safety, energy efficiency, and traffic congestion as the main challenges currently being faced by European transportation. Despite their severity, these issues may be improved with the use of new in-vehicle technologies currently not available in the market. However, implementing new technologies implies a risk to manufacturers. Factors such as di ...

Implementation of Virtual Testing in Safety Regulations (IMVITER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"Computer aided engineering is a routinely used technology for the design and testing of road vehicles, including the simulation of their response to an impact and the prediction of the risk of injuries sustained by the potential victims. But, so far, the release of a vehicle on the market still depends on the verification of the product compliance with safety standards through a series of type ap ...

Child Advanced Safety Project for European Roads (CASPER)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

"The objectives of CASPER are to reduce fatalities and injuries of children in traffic accidents. A badly injured child or a dead child is everything nobody can tolerate. Children are more and more often involved in all modes of transportations; they have no choice; they are bind to the adult careers, taking for granted that the adults will take good care of them. CASPER will address two main as ...

TYre and Road surface Optimisation for Skid resistance And Further Effects (TYROSAFE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

"The contribution that the road surface makes to road safety is often underestimated. Whilst first advances have already been made in the technology of tyres and braking systems, at the time of an accident or near-accident one of the major underlying factors is the condition of the road. The awareness of such issues varies widely across the EU. In the United Kingdom, which has one of the best road ...
