11.fabric

Fabric

The vision of FABRIC is the large-scale adoption of pure Electric Vehicles (EVs) in future transportation systems. This wide deployment requires mature EV technology and advanced charging solutions that provide a user experience similar to today’s cars.
The main challenge that FABRIC is tackling is “range anxiety” that is caused by the limited range current EVs are suffering from. In the long term, electric vehicles might be able to collect energy from the road, in a conductive or contactless mode.
Compared to the current paradigms of larger installed storage capacity, fast charge or switchable batteries, advanced on-road charging solutions will improve the driving range and battery lifetime of the Full Electric Vehicles (FEV) as well as their energy efficiency and price, given the need for a smaller battery.

12.Minifaros

Minifaros

Project vision is accident-free traffic realized by means of effective environment perception systems. Laserscanners are the predominant generic environment sensing technology. 
Currently, there are developments underway to integrate different Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) functions in the same platform as was recently seen in research projects. A strong paradigm in that is sensor data fusion. Another trend is to develop cooperative driving systems aiming at providing drivers more time to respond to sudden changes in the travel environment. Both approaches assume extensive environment monitoring, data collection and a perceptual model of the environment to be further used for various safety functions.
The consortium stresses here that a boost of the market penetration of driver support systems can be realised by generic sensors that are affordable, durable and of compact size to be used in different locations in vehicles or in the infrastructure. Furthermore, these systems need to be based on fully reliable sensor data. All these requirements have not yet met by present day sensors.

telefot

TeleFOT

TeleFOT is a Large Scale Collaborative Project under the Seventh Framework Program, co-funded by the European Commission DG Information Society and Media within the strategic objective “ICT for Cooperative Systems”. TeleFOT aims to test the impacts of driver support functions on the driving task with large fleets of test drivers in real-life driving conditions. In particular, TeleFOT assesses via Field operational Tests the impacts of functions provided by aftermarket and nomadic devices, including future interactive traffic services that will become part of driving environment systems within the next five years.

ICCS is the leader of TeleFOT SP3 which is assigned with the actual execution of the trials in seven test sites across Europe and ensures the availability of the data for the later analysis. ICCS is involved in the formulation of the framework, manages the Greek test site and participates in the impact assessment work.

10-ECALL

eCALL

eCall is an initiative with the purpose to bring rapid assistance to motorists involved in a collision anywhere in the European Union.
In case of a crash, an eCall-equipped car automatically calls the nearest emergency centre. Even if no passenger is able to speak, e.g. due to injuries, a ‘Minimum Set of Data’ is sent, which includes the exact location of the crash site. Shortly after the accident, emergency services therefore know that there has been an accident, and where exactly.
eCall cuts emergency services response time. It goes down to 50% in the countryside and 60% in built-up areas. The quicker response will save hundreds of lives in the EU every year. The severity of injuries will be considerably reduced in tens of thousands of cases. You can also make an eCall by pushing a button inside the car. Witnessing an accident, you can thus report it and automatically give the precise location. As eCall normally ‘sleeps’, it does not allow vehicle tracking outside emergencies.

Navigating-a-Virtual-

Navigating a Virtual Enviroment using Eye Movements

This short video showcases version 1.0 of OpenBCI Labyrinth, a 3d virtual environment created as a showcase in the VR team on the use of electro-oculography for navigation in a 3d environment. It uses an EEG to record and transmit eye signals over the network for processing. A signal analyzer detects filters the transmitted signal and decomposes it into simple commands: “move left”, “move forward”, “move right” and “execute”. In case an EEG is not available, the EEG signal can be emulated via a typical computer mouse. The 3d environment is developed in pure C# and OpenGL 3.0 via OpenTK (http://www.opentk.com, the Open Toolkit library). The implementation is cross-platform and works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It is aimed for display on 1-wall CAVEs with dual back-projectors but can also be run on typical computers and video cards (with the loss of stereo 3d capabilities and incorrect gamma calibration).

For more technical details, please visit: http://www.opentk.com/project/labyrinth. A complete writeup will be made available through Artemis at: http://artemis.cslab.ntua.gr/search/. The source-code and binaries for the application will be made available once this is complete.

Vr hyper space

VR-Hyperspace

VR-Hyperspace is a 7th Framework Programme project running from October 2011 to September 2014.

VR‐HYPERSPACE will carry out fundamental research and development leading to a paradigm shift in relation to passenger comfort. The project adopts radical approaches using virtual and mixed reality technologies to change perception of space, and more profoundly, enable to change the very perception of oneself.

VR‐HYPERSPACE aims to utilize current state‐of‐the‐art virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) technology to prototype future possibilities, and especially to explore the specific idea that the exploitation of recent research on body representation can significantly improve passengers’ perception of comfort. VR can also be used to systematically investigate the relative contributions of several design aspects of interior spaces, such as physical shape of the cabin, lighting and the relationship between passengers and the services provided.

08-HAVE-IT

HAVE-IT

HAVEit aims at the realization of the long-term vision of highly automated driving for intelligent transport. The project will develop, validate and demonstrate important intermediate steps towards highly automated driving.
HAVEit will significantly contribute to higher traffic safety and efficiency usage for passenger cars, busses and trucks, thereby strongly promoting safe and intelligent mobility of both people and goods. The significant HAVEit safety, efficiency and comfort impact will be generated by three measures:

  1. Design of the task repartition between the driver and co-driving system (ADAS) in the joint system.
  2. Failure tolerant safe vehicle architecture including advanced redundancy management
  3. Development and validation of the next generation of ADAS directed towards higher level of automation as compared to the current state of the art.

  2. Develop the key enabling technologies: ad-hoc dynamic network, accurate relative localisation, dynamic local traffic maps.
  3. Develop and test scenario-based applications to evaluate the impacts on road safety.
  4. Define a sustainable deployment strategy for cooperative systems for road safety, evaluating also related liability, regulations and standardisation aspects.
06-GOODROUTE

GOODROUTE

GOOD ROUTE aims to develop a cooperative system for dangerous goods vehicles routing, monitoring, re-routing (in case of need), enforcement and driver support, based upon dynamic, real time date, in order to minimise the Societal Risks related to their movements, whereas still generating the most cost efficient solution for all actors involved in their logistic chain.
Several thousands of trucks carrying dangerous goods circulate within European roads on daily basis. They utilise urban roads, rural roads, highways, tunnels and long bridges and in some case they are not allowed in some of them. But the actual accident risk and impact when using secondary roads or other alternative ways is not calculated. In addition, when due to unforeseen events (traffic jams, accidents, etc.) they need to change route, they do not have any particular guidance on the safest alternative nor are consequences of road choice to the business chain and societal risk calculated.
