Code: 15045 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-01-06 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Climate, Energy and Mobility (Cluster 5)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/10/2021 | End submission calls: 12/01/2022

A Safe System approach recognises that since accidents will continue to occur despite preventive efforts, it is a shared responsibility between stakeholders (road users, road managers, vehicle manufacturers, etc.) to take appropriate actions to ensure that road collisions do not lead to serious or fatal injuries. In a Safe System approach, mobility is a function of safety rather than vice versa. It involves the implementation of system-wide measures that ensure, in the event of a collision, that the impact forces remain below the thresholds likely to produce either death or serious injury.

Project results are expected to contribute to the following areas:
Area A – Predictive safety assessment framework
Area B – Safer urban environment for vulnerable road users

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Explainable and trustworthy concepts, techniques and models for CCAM (CCAM Partnership)

Closed

Code: 15043 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Climate, Energy and Mobility (Cluster 5)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/10/2021 | End submission calls: 12/01/2022

Αny AI requires good integration into the overall system with close interaction and compatibility with the active safety systems (e.g. automated emergency braking). For the development process, training is essential for the performance of unbiased AI. It requires sufficient traffic and event data under varying conditions from all over Europe, avoiding limited data sets. The current, mainly deterministic approaches for validation in automotive development will not be sufficient for future training and validation of AI-based or AI-supported functions, which will also need to be able to deal with complex issues as (un)intended miscommunication.

The variability of human behaviour and performance with factors like gender, cultural and ethnic background, ageing, diseases, driving experience, mental workload or fatigue makes the acquisition of such evidence a very challenging task. Data on the dependence of human driving behaviour from such factors is partly available from previous research, but not sufficiently broken down to the level of specific driving situations.
Proposed actions have to develop a probabilistic human behavioural model with the potential to cover all relevant aspects of human driving performance as well as the broad spectrum of drivers and influencing factors.

“Integrated PV” stands for photovoltaics that are embedded into components fulfilling other functions. In addition to the overall PV goal of lowering the LCOE, IPV applications can bring the extra value of decentralized, point-of-use electricity generation and simultaneously fulfil another function such as of a roofing, facade or sound barrier. Progressively developing and having the potential for a world-wide market with huge opportunities for the European industry, manufacturing of customized IPV in series production concept needs to be developed to bring down the cost of Integrated PV allowing for largescale production and use.
