Project details

Project astract AIDER project main objective is the reduction of road accident consequences optimising the rescue management in terms of operative time and effectiveness. To accomplish this task, an on-vehicle System will be developed able to automatically send to a Control Centre both an emergency call and full information about the accident severity. AIDER vehicles will be equipped with a detection system to monitor the on-board pre- and post-crash environment. A robust communication system, based on the integration of cellular and satellite aided links, will be provided for information exchange between vehicles and rescue Centres. Communication protocols will be defined to be recommended at European level. SW tools will be implemented to allow the accident reconstruction at Control Centre level, to support the operators in the selection of the most suitable rescue action. Relevance will be given to the investigation of the legal and ethical implications of the project results and the AIDER System potential for market introduction will be evaluated by a detailed cost/benefit analysis and exploitation plan definition. Work description: The project work is structured in six Work-packages, to achieve three main clusters of results: - specification of the AIDER System components; - equipment of a prototype AIDER System; - demonstration and evaluation of the AIDER System.
