PYroelectric Conformable SEnsor matrix for Large area applications in security and safety (PYCSEL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

From government to consumer applications, personal identification is an ever increasing concern and demand. Fingerprints are the oldest and the most reliable features to be used because of their singularity and inalterability. The main goal of the PYCSEL project is to develop a low cost thin and large area fingerprint sensing surface enabling the personal identification via the development of a TO ...

aDverse wEather eNvironmental Sensing systEm (DENSE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,

Current driver assistance systems are not all-weather capable. They offer comfort and safety in sound environmental conditions. However, in adverse weather conditions where the accident risks are highest they malfunction or even fail. Now that we are progressing towards automated cars and work machines, the requirements of fully reliable environment perception are only accentuated. The project is ...

Safety-ENhancing Innovations for Older Road userS (SENIORS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,

European countries face great challenges because the demographic structure in the EU is changing rapidly, due to reducing birth rates and increasing life expectancies. In 2012, 17% of Europeans were aged 65 and older and in 2020 this will rise to 28%. Meanwhile, the mobility needs of the elderly are also changing. Maintaining a driver's licence is an important issue of independence today, both for ...

small Electric Passenger vehicle with maximized Safety and Integrating a Lightweight Oriented Novel body architecture (EPSILON)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

As the global population gravitates towards increasingly large urban agglomerates, the density of movements and the sheer numbers of people displacements is growing so fast that existing vehicles for personal transport increasingly seem insufficient: consuming too much energy (present day cars), or exposing their drivers to larger-than-needed accident risks (motorcycles or bicycles). As especially ...

Modelling And Testing for Improved Safety of key composite StructurEs in alternatively powered vehicles (MATISSE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"MATISSE aims to make a significant step forward in the capability of the automotive industry to model, predict and optimise the crash behaviour of mass produced Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures, which will be extensively used in Alternatively Powered Vehicles. The ability to investigate crashworthiness of FRP vehicle structures by numerical simulation is crucial for these light ...

Optimised storage integration for the electric car (OSTLER)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Present-day electric vehicles are typically designed by starting from an existing vehicle platform and designing a storage device (battery pack) to fit the constraints of the existing vehicle. OSTLER is based on the concept of modular storage devices around which an electric vehicle (EV) can be designed. The vehicle designer can select storage capacity to give range in EV mode (e.g. 20 km, 50 km, ...

Priorities for Road Safety Research in Europe (PROS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

In spite of all improvements in European road safety, almost 100 people are killed and about 40,000 get injured on European roads each day. The progress made so far is to a large extent based on intensive, publicly funded road safety research activities. While many “low-hanging fruits” in road safety have already been picked, a multitude of more specific research issues remains. With ICT opening u ...

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 ...

Infrared Imaging Components for Use in Automotive Safety Applications (ICU)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

The objective of ICU is to develop the core photonic components for a Far Infrared (FIR) camera module aimed at high volume automotive Night Vision Enhancement Systems (NVE) of the future. FIR imaging provides a high-contrast signal for warm (living) objects. This makes FIR systems very attractive for the detection of living objects and thereby helping to reduce fatalities and injuries. However, t ...

Dynamic Interactive Perception-action LEarning in Cognitive Systems (DIPLECS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

The DIPLECS project aims at designing an Artificial Cognitive System architecture that allows for learning and adapting hierarchical perception-action cycles in dynamic and interactive real-world scenarios. The architectural progress will be evaluated within the scenario of a driver assistance system that continuously improves its capabilities by observing the human driver, the car data, and the e ...

Fusing Far-Infrared and Near-Infrared Imaging for Pedestrian Injury Mitigation (FNIR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2010,

Road accidents involving pedestrians are far more frequent at night than during the day. More than 12 000 pedestrians and cyclists are killed and almost 300 000 are seriously injured in the EU every year. The most important factor is the driver's dramatically reduced range of vision. Fewer pedestrians will be killed or seriously injured through improved driver warning strategies enabled by Night V ...
