Road User Safety

Task: Reduce danger on the roads for all types of users in towns and on the open road

1- Technological road safety innovations

The aim of this area is to encourage technological innovation to improve road safety

• Road traffic system safety
- People/vehicles/infrastructure
- Integrated: primary, secondary and tertiary
• New mobiles: quadricycles, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles
• Communicating cooperative systems
• Protection of vulnerable users
• Design of public spaces and road networks
• Delegated and automatic driving

2 - Increase knowledge of human behaviour

The aim of this area is to create knowledge building bricks for understanding road user behaviour

• Road user behaviour study
- Naturalistic studies
- Instrumented vehicles and sites
• Driver monitoring
• Driving strategies modeling
• Human-system interaction
• Impacts of new technologies and systems
• Transition from normal driving to automatic driving
• Training and awareness

3 - Simulation and assessment

The aim of this area is to develop simulation and assessment methods and tools related to road safety

• Digital approach
- Numeric models driver/vehicle/traffic/infrastructure
- Driving simulator üVirtual reality
• Experimental approach
- « Software &hardware in the loop» tests
- Test benches
- Sensors and instrumentation
- Experimental loops/circuits
- Open road
• Impact studies
