Strong scientific contribution from SAFER partners in ESV

Mar, 31 2023

In the coming week, it is once again time for one of the world's largest road safety conferences, and many of SAFER’s partners are contributing with research findings on how to improve road safety.

The 27th International Technical Conference on Enhanced Safety of Vehicles (ESV) is being held in Yokohama, Japan, April 3-6, 2023. The event is sponsored by the United States Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in cooperation with participating ESV member countries. ESV conferences are unique and invaluable to the global community, providing opportunities to share innovative advances in motor vehicle safety and encourage international cooperation.

magnus“Several of the conference contributions are developed in close collaboration between two or more  of our partners, and we are proud of the scientific quality of the publications. ESV is a great platform for us to spread knowledge and results from our projects to other parts of the world, which is ultimately one of the keys to improved road safety”, says Magnus Granström, SAFER’s director.

Among the contributions where SAFER's partners have been active, are several including research on human modeling, e.g. “The SAFER HBM – A human body model for seamless integrated occupant analysis for all road users”. In addition, a paper from SAFER's working group on Safe System Principles led by Matteo Rizzi, the Swedish road administration, will be presented; "Proposed speed limits for the 2030 motor vehicles". The IGLAD consortium (Initiative for the GLobal harmonisation of Accident Data), coordinated by SAFER, is presenting a paper related to the creation and application of harmonized pre-crash scenarios from global traffic accident data. All in all, more than 20 of the presented studies have engaged SAFER’s partners.

We wish all our SAFER partners all the best during the conference!
