Safety CaUsation, Benefits and Efficiency (SafetyCube)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

The objective of SafetyCube is to develop an innovative road safety Decision Support System (DSS) that will enable policy-makers and stakeholders to select and implement the most appropriate strategies, measures and cost-effective approaches to reduce casualties of all road user types and all severities.At the core of the project will be a novel and comprehensive analysis of accident causation fac ...

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 ...

Position and Personalize Advanced Human Body Models for Injury Prediction (PIPER)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

"In passive safety, human variability is currently difficult to account for using crash test dummies and regulatory procedures. However, vulnerable populations such as children and elderly need to be considered in the design of safety systems in order to further reduce the fatalities by protecting all users and not only so called averages.Based on the finite element method, advanced Human Body Mod ...

Field Operational Test Networking and Data Sharing Support (FOT-Net Data)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

FOT-Net Data is a Support Action for international co-operation that targets efficient sharing and re-use of global data sets. It continues European and international networking activities in the domain of Field Operational Tests (FOT).During the lifetime of the different FOTs carried out both at national and European levels, there is a crucial need for a networking platform allowing individual FO ...

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 ...

Development of a Finite Element Model of the Human Thorax and Upper Extremities (THOMO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"In 2004, in the European Union, there were 42193 road fatalities and 1213300 accidents involving injuries. The socio-economic cost of road crashes to the EU 15 is twice the EU’s annual budget. The number of casualties is so important that it shall be reduced by all the available ways. Presently, the vehicle safety devices used as prevention tools shall be improved, since they were developed in an ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
