Advanced technologies for bomb-proof cargo containers and blast containment units for the retrofitting of passenger airplanes (FLY-BAG2)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
The threat of attacks to passenger airplanes with explosives hidden in luggage loaded in the cargo holds or taken onboard is dramatically evident from terrorist events in the last years.FLY-BAG2 aim is to develop innovative solutions based on novel lightweight materials and structural concepts for the mitigation of the effects of an onboard blast and improve aircraft survivability.Direct strengthe ...

Innovative advanced Wood-based Composite Materials and Components (WOODY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Currently the world of polymeric composite materials is almost exclusively based on fossil derived components. This fact represents a strong issue, as the non-renewable global oil resources are being exploited year after year, also as a consequence of the ever growing demand for plastics engineering materials. WOODY Project goal is to develop new composite panels and laminates from wood derived re ...

Clean Energy Production through Roadway Surface Power Harvesting Systems for Increased Safety in the Transportation Sector (POWERAMP)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,
"POWERAMP will design, manufacture, prototype, and validate through real world pilots energy harvesting speed bumps that capture energy from vehicles that pass over the ramps. Emplaced in areas where speed must be controlled, safety must be increased, or where vehicles must come to a stop, such systems leverage gravity and the kinetic energy of thousands of kilograms moving at high rates of speed ...

Blastworthy textile-based luggage containers for aviation safety (FLY-BAG)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"The rise in worldwide terrorism has required measures be taken to harden aircraft against catastrophic in-flight failure due to concealed explosives. Commercial aviation can be protected from the threat of explosives by : 1. preventing explosives from reaching the aircraft 2. mitigating the effects of an explosive protecting the aircraft from an onboard explosion. The risk that a small quantity ...
