EUCAR - European Council for Automotive R&D
To support the achievement of the highest efficiency, effectiveness and economy in R&D performance, the major European automakers have joined their efforts in the European Council for Automotive R&D - EUCAR.

EUCAR Integrated Safety Projects:

AIDE - Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle InterfacE
Part of the EUCAR Integrated Safety Programme, the AIDE Integrated Project plans to design, develop and validate a generic Adaptive Integrated Driver-vehicle Interface (AIDE) that maximises the efficiency of individual and combined advanced driver assistance systems, reduces the level of workload and distraction and enables the potential benefits of new in-vehicle technologies and nomad devices.

EASIS - Electronic Architecture Safety Systems
The European commission transport policy for 2010 sets new targets with respect to road safety. These targets can only be reached by an integrated approach for vehicle safety systems, i.e. the combination of active and passive safety systems where actions will address all phases of a crash, including pre-crash and post-crash.
From a technical point of view today’s safety systems are mostly stand alone systems with a limited degree of interdependencies. These systems have to be integrated - combined with upcoming enhanced telematics services - into a complete network of so-called Integrated Safety Systems.
For the realization of such Integrated Safety Systems a powerful and highly dependable in-vehicle electronic architecture and an appropriate development support is mandatory. Those elements which are not competitive relevant for OEMs and suppliers have to be standardized to achieve an improvement of system quality at shorter development times and lower system costs.

GST - Global System for Telematics
GST is an EU-funded Integrated Project that is creating an open and standardized end-to-end architecture for automotive telematics services. The purpose of GST is to create an environment in which innovative telematics services can be developed and delivered cost-effectively, and hence to increase the range of economic telematics services available to manufacturers and consumers.

PReVENT - Preventive and Active Safety Applications
Safety systems available today are mostly stand-alone on-board systems with a limited degree of interdependence. The development and the rapid dissemination of existing and new safety applications can only be achieved at competitive costs by:
- defining safety function fields
- integrating different in-vehicle systems
- combining them with enhanced telematics into a complete network of so-called integrated safety systems.
PReVENT, as part of the EUCAR Integrated Safety Programme, contributes to these objectives. Preventive and Active Safety Applications will help drivers to avoid accidents, by sensing nature and significance of imminent dangers, while taking the driving state and the driver status into account. Depending on the significance and timing of the danger, the systems will subsequently inform the drivers as early as possible, warn them and if they do not react, actively assist or ultimately intervene.

EU White Paper on Transport
With the Transport Policy White Paper, the European Commission is proposing an action plan aimed at bringing about substantial improvements in quality and efficiency of transport in Europe. It is also proposing a strategy designed to gradually break the link between constant transport growth and economic growth in order to reduce the pressure on the environment and prevent congestion while maintaining the EU's economic competitiveness.
