Smart-Loop: Design of multi-modal human-machine-interaction system for keeping the driver in-the-loop in automated driving systems

Purpose: Recent studies (Victor, T. et al, 2018) has suggested that the automation/automated driving systems should be either (i) clearly designed as assistance systems and the driver understands it is an assistance system (i.e. ADAS), (ii) robustly designed as fully-automated

External interfaces on automated vehicles: Validating results from online crowdsourcing at AstaZero

Project A-0049 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The goal of this study is to asses novel external interfaces for automated vehicles in a controlled experiment at AstaZero and then to compare these results with the results from the

MEDIATOR

Mediating between Driver and Intelligent Automated Transport system on our roads (MEDIATOR) proposes an intelligent ‘mediating’ support system for road transport, enabling safe, realtime switching between human driver and system. It will constantly evaluate driving context, driver state and vehicle

Drive2theFuture

Drive2theFuture aims to prepare “drivers”, travelers and vehicle operators of the future to accept and use connected, cooperative and automated transport modes and the industry of these technologies to understand and meet their needs and wants. To achieve this, it

Safe-ePMVs

Safety and ease-of-use assessment of new electric vehicles for personal mobility (e-PMVs) in urban environment (Safe-ePMVs) The move towards a future sustainable transport system requires new transport solutions that are at the same time easy-to-use and safe. Among the new

Scale-up

Scale-up: Crowdsourcing for scaling up evaluation of external interfaces on automated vehicles External interfaces are expected to facilitate safer interactions between automated vehicles (AVs) and other road users. These interfaces are in an early design stage and are, at the

Heterogeneous Traffic Groups Cooperative Driving Behaviours Research under Mixed Traffic Condition

This CTS project will develop new methods for evaluating the safety and traffic flow impact when autonomous vehicles mix withmanually driven vehicle. Comparisons between Swedish and Chinese road conditions will be studied, data is to be collected in China and

Virtual Evaluation Tools for Pedestrian Integrated Safety

This CTS project targets the need to develop tools to improve VRU protection in traffic that can support conditions in Europe an and Asian traffic conditions, including research in Sweden as well as China. The approach includes the aspects of

Truck drivers braking and glance behaviour during interaction with VRUs (TRUBADUR)

Project A-0038 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The improvement of road safety has been defined as a priority for the development of a sustainable society by the United Nations, the European Commission and the Swedish Transport Administration. However,

Active safety for bicycles using radar to prevent and reduce the impact in car-and-bicycle collisions

Project A-0037 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The purpose of the project is to help bring active safety to bicyclists by way of investigating how consequences of collisions between bicycles and other vehicles can be reduced using radar

Validation of optimal motion planning for automated urban driving

Project A-0035 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The goal of this project is to validate the motion planning framework for automated urban driving in a real vehicle. The framework is based on Search-based optimal motion planning (SBOMP) with

SmArt seLf-driving vehIcle (SALI)

Project A-0034 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The SALI project aims at implementing and testing an open software engineering solution to integrate self-* capabilities such self-healing, self-optimization and self-improvement to self-driving vehicles for responding to runtime challenging factors

Emergency care during ambulance transport: Naturalistic data from simulated type situations during driving at a test track

Project A-0033 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The goal of this project is to design test scenarios, including associated tasks, that are as realistic and prototypical as possible, for use in ambulance simulator trials. The purpose is to

In Vitro Model of Whiplash Trauma in Dorsal Root Ganglia – A Pilot Study

Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD) is the most common and costly traffic injury. It can result in long lasting and debilitating pain in the neck region, but there is a serious lack of established and effective diagnosis and treatment. Recent developments

Gaze-steering coordination with pilot assist systems: A test track experiment on AstaZero

Project A-0031 within SAFER's Open Research at AstaZero Program. The aim of the study is to investigate how drivers adapt to steering automation and how control is taken back when the steering automation fails. The current research is novel in

SEBRA

SEnsor for Bicycle’s impRoved Awareness (SEBRA) will identify the most relevant traffic safety related use-cases that involve bicycles. Then, a radar-based safety system for bicycles is developed with both sensors and human interface. Finally, the system is evaluated in relevant
