Project

VISAS - Volvo Infotainment Support Autoliv Safety

Period
9 March 2006-27 April 2012
Project manager
Johan Davidsson

The VISAS project was a collaboration between Volvo Cars, Autoliv and Chalmers University of Technology. The main objective was to study and develop infotainment and safety functions based on the communication between car and infrastructure. The project started in the beginning of 2006 and lasted until August 2008. One of the work-packages which deals with active safety for pedestrians and bicyclists in urban intersections is still going on in the form of a Ph.D. project at Chalmers University of Technology. The VISAS project was mainly funded by VINNOVA (The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) through the V-ICT program.

Causation mechanisms in car-to-vulnerable road user crashes: Implications for active safety systems

Vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and bicyclists, are often involved in crashes with passenger cars. One way to prevent these crashes is to deploy active safety systems that support the car drivers and/or VRUs. However, to develop such

Reduction of Vulnerable Road User accidents in urban intersections: Needs and challenges in designing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can be used to prevent accidents, or to reduce their severity. It is essential to determine what functional requirements such systems should fulfill to meet drivers’ support needs. An understanding of the

Requirements of a system to reduce car-to-vulnerable road user crashes in urban intersections

Intersection crashes between cars and vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and bicyclists, often result in injuries and fatalities. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) can prevent, or mitigate, these crashes. To derive functional

Analyzing real-world data to promote development of active safety systems that reduce car-to-vulnerable road user accidents

The overall objective of the thesis is to explore various types of real-world road traffic data and to assess the extent to which they can inform the design of active safety systems that aim to prevent car-to-vulnerable road user (VRU) accidents. A
