"Technologies for safer road traffic"

MOV'EO - Test Track, Versailles, France
18 - 22 September 2007

hosting :

Presentations, 19 September 2007 - Expert Day 1

Presentations, 20 September 2007 - Expert Day 2

Twenty-five experimental vehicles demonstrated high-tech integrated in-vehicle safety applications

Advanced safety technologies will make vehicles and roads safer

With vehicles, technologies and experts galore, the IP PReVENT consortium coached and enlightened you with a one-of-a-kind exhibition of its work.

The Integrated Project PReVENT (PReVENTive and Active Safety Applications) is developing and demonstrating integrated in-vehicle safety applications using state-of-the-art sensors, maps and communication systems.

Its exhibition is the final showcase culminating four years of project activities and is scheduled in collaboration with the European Commission’s i2010: Intelligent Car Initiative. Advanced safety technologies can make vehicles and roads safer by helping to avoid accidents and minimize injuries when accidents occur.

Taking place at the Versailles MOV'EO Test Track facility, the PReVENT event featured 23 experimental cars, two trucks and a series of simulation platforms demonstrating all of the IP PReVENT preventive and active safety applications, including:

Safe speed and safe following Lateral support Intersection safety Collision mitigation

In addition, the following cross-functional results were also exhibited:

• Code of practice for development of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
• ADAS interface and use of safety maps for enhanced ADAS
• Sensor data fusion (steps towards environment perception)
• Evaluation of ADAS

A large “Exhibition Village” gathered everything under one roof and provide the perfect opportunity for participants to meet the masterminds behind the PReVENT technology.

Something for all!

The event has been organised to appeal to a broad audience, involving not only those working in the preventive and active safety fields, but also high-level politicians and decision-makers, as well as the general public.

Opening Day: Tuesday, 18 September
The opening day featured DG Information Society Commissioner Viviane Reding as well as other movers and shakers from IP PReVENT partners, eSafety Forum and representatives from ministries of transport of EU member states. After a ribbon-cutting ceremony kicking off the exhibition in grand style, the event included a press conference hold in collaboration with the i2010: Intelligent Car Initiative event. The eSafety Forum also hold its plenary meeting on this day.

Expert Days: Wednesday and Thursday, 19-20 September
The second and third days encompassed extensive demonstrations of all 25 test vehicles. The MOVEO test track includes a variety of circuits, including a speed track, 3.4 km road track, the curvy and uneven “Val d’Or” roadway, as well as collision mitigation and intersection tracks, providing an opportune chance to witness the technology in action. A conference with technical presentations and discussion panels covering PReVENT results was planned as well.

The 22 September 2007 was dedicated to raise public awareness. The general public was targeted and the latest innovative technologies were presented in front of Versailles Castle.
