Vulnerable road-user safety and ITS
2016-03-03 | Unnamed Venue, London, United Kingdom
The final event of the VRUITS project will be held at Transport for London.
VRUITS has investigated and piloted a range of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to enhance the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and powered two-wheeler riders, including:

infrastructure-based ITS such as the ‘intelligent pedestrian traffic signal’
vehicle-based ITS such as ‘blind-spot detection’ and ‘pedestrian-detection systems & emergency breaking’
user-centric systems such as ‘green wave for cyclists’ or ‘in-vehicle information on approaching powered two-wheeler’

Symposium on The Future Networked Car 2016
2016-03-03 | Unnamed Venue, Geneva, Switzerland
Intelligent transport systems and automated driving are fast moving towards widespread commercialization and market acceptance. High levels of automation are expected on the road by 2020 and hold great promise to improve road safety, reduce congestion and emissions, and increase the accessibility of personal mobility to the elderly and persons with disabilities.
Held on the first public day of the Geneva International Motor Show, this international symposium will bring together representatives of vehicle manufacturers, the automotive and information and communication technology (ICT) industries, governments and their regulators to discuss the status and future of vehicle communications and automated driving. The Future Networked Car will examine advances in the area of connected vehicles, from the perspectives of business, technology and regulation. Technical sessions will highlight the crucial roles of connectivity, information security and privacy. The symposium will also discuss how standards bodies can best collaborate to meet industry needs and to achieve interoperability.
