SAFER continues to grow as a neutral platform for world-leading traffic safety research. We are excited to welcome Amparo solutions, Innobrain, IPG Automotive, Mittlogik and Terranet, as new partners.

Magnus Granström, Director of SAFER, comments:
"We are very happy to welcome these new partners and to leverage their expertise. To meet national road safety tagets, it is crucial that more organisations and knowledgeable companies join forces to develop new solutions and drive progress."

Meet our new partners and their contributions to road safety:

Amparo Solutions
Amparo Solutions has a strong vision of creating safer and more efficient environments through data analysis and monitoring, Amparo will bring valuable expertise in autonomous driving, radar, 6G, image processing, and safe software development. 

Amparo Solutions provides municipalities, property owners, and authorities with better decision-making tools by collecting and analysing traffic data. Their focus on people in motion, rather than just vehicles, offers key insights for future mobility solutions. 

As a SAFER partner, Amparo aims to contribute to architectures and methods for continuous safety assurance and offers access to an in-house EMC lab, a measuring chamber, and advanced 4-D radar technology.

IPG Automotive 
IPG Automotive develops advanced simulation solutions, including both software and hardware, for virtual vehicle development. Supporting the entire mobility industry, from OEMs to suppliers, the company plays a key role in digitalizing development processes. With expertise built since 1984, IPG Automotive pioneers virtual test driving and provides tools for designing, developing, verifying, and validating AD/ADAS systems.

Key research questions:

• Advancing regulatory frameworks for virtual testing and certification, including EuroNCAP 2026 and 2029.
• Enhancing the use of simulations for OEM reporting in crash avoidance assessments.
• Improving the correlation between simulations and physical tests in vehicle dynamics and control.
• Developing systematic credibility assessment methods for AD/ADAS verification and validation.

Mittlogik
Mittlogik is a technology-driven company with a passion for delivering innovative IT solutions. Established in 2013 ‘out of the garage’ in Malmö, Mittlogik has grown into a global consulting and solutions provider, with operations in six locations across three continents. Today, the company has evolved from two freelance consultants into a 60+ strong community specializing in advanced IT solutions across various industries.

Mittlogik is focusing on traffic safety automation research, aiming to develop intelligent roadside infrastructure that enhances protection for vulnerable road users. They seek collaboration with automotive industry leaders, municipalities, and funding programs to accelerate innovation and bring impactful solutions to society.

Key research areas:

• Developing intelligent roadside safety systems for improved protection.
• Exploring automation and AI-driven solutions to enhance traffic monitoring.
• Partnering with key stakeholders to create a scalable traffic safety infrastructure.

Innobrain Solutions
InnoBrain™ is a NeuroTech company specializing in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology. By combining neuroscience and artificial intelligence, InnoBrain has developed a real-time cognitive and emotional state monitoring platform, enabling advanced driver safety solutions. Their technology provides an objective way to analyze human cognitive functions and emotional responses, making it a powerful tool for road safety applications.

InnoBrain’s research is focused on real-time cognitive state monitoring to improve driver safety and performance. By applying AI-driven EEG analytics, they aim to better understand fatigue, drowsiness, stress, and attention levels in drivers, helping prevent accidents caused by impaired cognitive states.

Key research areas:

• Investigating real-time monitoring to assess driver cognitive performance.
• Exploring AI-driven EEG analytics for integration into vehicle safety systems.
• Developing methods to predict risky behaviors and cognitive impairments.

Terranet
Terranet is developing next-generation ADAS and AD solutions to save lives in complex urban environments. With its advanced anti-collision system, BlincVision, the company is setting a new standard for road safety by scanning the road pixel by pixel—providing a faster and more precise method for detecting traffic hazards ahead of the vehicle. Their work aims to address performance gaps in current ADAS systems and meet the real-world need for end-to-end Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Autonomous Emergency Steering (AES) systems.

Key research areas:

 Terranet seeks to:

• Understand the expected performance and metrics for sensors in ADAS and AD scenarios, such as latency and accuracy.
• Explore sensor fusion, identifying which sensors should be included to enhance safety in urban environments and how to achieve the most effective fusion.
• Identify key urban traffic scenarios where safety can be improved and define verification methods to quantify system performance.
