Project description
eSafety Co-operative systems for road transport
HIGHWAY is a research project that will result in an innovative cooperative driving platform which will ubiquitously monitor and recognize the road environment and the driver¿s state in real time using data obtained from three types of sources: i) the in-vehicle sensing system, ii) the road infrastructure and iii) neighboring cars. It supports both road-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication in order to enhance drivers¿ perception on road environment and improve their responses in critical traffic scenarios. HIGHWAY will develop new and efficient methods for processing multi-sensorial signals based on sensor management and data fusion techniques. The Situation Assessment Module will combine data from the external sources (the roadside equipment and other vehicles) along with the features extracted from the various on-board sensors and with the aid of various intelligent classification techniques will detect hazards and risky situations on the road. Through advanced mobile interfaces, drivers will provide significant input to the HIGHWAY system (driver reports) and at the same time they will be endowed with a large amount of information and will be supported with warnings and alerts for weather conditions, traffic jams, accidents, presence of obstacles, lane deviation, as well as warnings for drivers¿ fatigue and drowsiness of cars travelling in the vicinity.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
