i-way - Intelligent co-operative system in cars for road safety

Objectives

The i-way project is strongly committed to achieve the two strategic objectives of i) increasing road safety and ii) bettering transport efficiency by achieving the following operative goals:

• To increase safety in road transport by empowering the information exchange among vehicles and between vehicles and the surveillance control system and by providing vehicles with active sensors that recognise driver fatigue and act on it.
• To improve traffic management control by providing vehicles with on-car sensors recognising weather conditions, distances to various types of obstacles on the road including automobiles, road shape and driver fatigue.
• To make transport more efficient and effective by supporting drivers with warnings and suggestions (i.e. traffic and accident alert, distance alert from objects, warning of lane deviations, warning for driver sleepiness) thanks to an intelligent decision support system and an intelligent driving control system that monitors, collects and manages information and communication to the driver.
• To make voyages more friendly and comfortable for drivers and passengers that endowed with a large amount of information about weather conditions and road traffic have the chance to vary their route as well as their destination for better trip.
