The future demands sustainable mobility solutions for people as well as goods. Sustainability solutions demands no or low emissions, safety and affordability. In November 2008, the two Centres of Excellence SAFER and the Swedish Hybrid Vehicle Centre (SHC) hosted a very inspiring seminar on these issues, which resulted in a joint application to FFI, Fordonsforskning och Innovation. With an approval

Download presentations >> Sensor systems that observe what happens in the traffic outside the vehicle are key components in various active safety systems for supporting the driver to systems for accident avoidance and accident (crash) severity mitigation. Passive restraint systems can also be pre-crash activated. Earlier SAFER seminars have covered C2X communication, microwave radars and far infra-red sensors (Night Vision)
