Public Protection and Disaster Relief – Transformation Center One of the main requirements of a major disaster relief operation is the availability of robust and reliable communication infrastructure. In order to meet the sudden surge in demand, the communication infrastructure needs to offer considerable network capacity throughout disaster areas and, at the same time, to…
Networking in Automation VRA is a Support action for networking and international cooperation on Vehicle and Road automation addressing in particular the deployment needs. Highly or full automation of vehicles will contribute to the enhancement of traffic safety by reducing the driver‘s workload, and minimizing the human errors and incidents due to the driver‘s distraction…
European Smart Mobility Resource Manager For many decades, urban planning and transport evolved around the private car, which has resulted in problems such as congestion, noise, pollution, etc. To tackle these adverse impacts and improve the livability of Europe’s cities, citizens today can benefit, next to the private vehicle, public transport and non-motorised modes, from…
Manufacturing of high investment, long service life, one of a kind or highly customized products such as working machines, cranes, ship, trains, power plant equipment, aircraft and spacecraft is important for Europe. Thus, the EU27 export of machinery and transport equipment is €0.65 trillion, which is 42% of the total €1.55 trillion exports of goods….
Towards a EU framework for the security of Widezones The advancement of 24/7 surveillance systems for the security of Widezones with multiple assets at localized scales is of extreme strategic relevance to European economies, industries, authorities and Citizens. Nevertheless, the cost for large deployments and maintenance of ground sensing networks for local surveillance across these…
Technological and Methodological Solutions for Integrated Wide Area Situation Awareness and Survivor Localisation to Support Search and Rescue Teams. INACHUS aims to achieve significant time reduction for Urban Search and Rescue (USaR) operations. This is enabled by wide-area situation awareness solutions for improved detection and localization of the trapped victims assisted by simulation tools for…
Co-operative Systems in Support of Networked Automated Driving by 2030 AutoNet2030 shall develop and test a co-operative automated driving technology, based on a decentralised decision-making strategy which is enabled by mutual information sharing among nearby vehicles. The project is aiming for a 2020-2030 deployment time horizon, taking into account the expected preceding introduction of co-operative…
