EUCAR’s annual conference and Advisory Board meeting of PROSPECT project in Brussels
The welcome speech was given by Stefan Deix, EUCAR Director, and the event moderator Désirée Duray. The event continued with Mr Urban Wass, Senior Vice President Research & Innovation Policy, Volvo Group and EUCAR Chairman, who talked about the current scene of innovating mobility. The day continued with dissemination talks, poster presentations and networking opportunities - all in all a very comprehensive and productive event. From the PROSPECT project, we had the opportunity and pleasure of presenting PROSPECT project achievements on Proactive Safety for Pedestrian and Cyclists. Moreover, the PROSPECT Advisory Board (including Richard Schramm, Euro NCAP Technical Manager) assisted the event to assess and guide the current development. We have presented the following project exhibitions: • Audi Driving Simulator with PROSPECT experiments where we investigate the interaction of the driver, system and VRUs in critical situations in a real car environment; • Daimler demo-car that addresses detection and tracking of VRUs, intention-related feature extraction and extended warning concepts. Also, some posters were presented by the PROSPECT team: • An overview poster and a video clip with experimental results explaining Bosch innovations - high-resolution automotive radar for VRU detection and classification in complex environments. • PROSPECT general presentation with main objectives, innovations and current results. From the PROSPECT team, we see the EUCAR Reception and conference as a great success and an exciting experience. We would also like to express our gratitude to the EUCAR organisers for the excellent preparation and the support shown for dissemination of our project results.
