SPA2 – Towards a Centralised E/E Architecture at Volvo Cars
Speaker: Martin Hiller, Technical Leader - Logical Elements and Software Architecture at Volvo Car Group
The automotive industry is now at the brink of a profound transformation, a paradigm shift. The car evolved over the past few decades from a purely mechanical structure to a computerized mechanical structure containing upwards of 150 different more or less cooperating electronic modules, is now facing the final step: becoming a powerful computing platform with electro-mechanical peripherals situated in a mechanical housing – basically, a computer on wheels.
This presentation will introduce Volvo Cars next generation E/E architecture – SPA2 – which is our first major step in the direction towards centralisation.

The Handbook of Road Safety Measures – history and development
Speaker: Rune Elvik, Research leader, The Institute of Transport Economics (TØI)
Have you ever heard about the Handbook of Road safety measures? This is the ultimate guide for us working with traffic safety as it provides you with an overview of current knowledge on the effects of 142 road safety measures. Rune Elvik, one of the authors from the SAFER partner TØI, will present this very special book. It is an indispensable tool for anyone working with road safety, whether political, administrative or research. Rune will talk about how the Traffic Safety Handbook has come into being and how it has developed over more than 40 years.
