SAFESPOT Integrated Project
SAFESPOT is working to design cooperative systems for road safety based on vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication.
SAFESPOT will prevent road accidents by developing a:
"SAFETY MARGIN ASSISTANT"
to detect in advance potentially dangerous situations and extend, in space and time, drivers’ awareness of the surrounding environment.
SAFESPOT is an integrated research project co-funded by the European Commission Information Society Technologies among the initiatives of the 6th Framework Program
SAFESPOT results' demonstration:
connecting smart vehicles with intelligent infrastructure
A world-class showcase of innovative communication technologies in vehicles and on the road will take place in and around Amsterdam RAI from 23 to 26 March 2010 in association with Intertraffic Amsterdam 2010, the world’s leading exhibition for infrastructure, traffic management, safety and parking.
The showcase will feature the final results of three European integrated projects CVIS, SAFESPOT and COOPERS, co- financed by the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme of Research.
