Euro NCAP, which assesses the safety performance of new vehicles entering the European market, is the benchmark for vehicle safety. The testing and performance protocols used in the Euro NCAP are regularly updated to reflect technological advancements in vehicles to ensure they represent the latest and highest safety standards.

These will enable the testing of new mobility solutions and pave the way for safer vehicles. One of the key tasks will be to promote vehicle safety developments while keeping in mind the diversity of humankind.

However, drivers may lack appropriate knowledge about ADAS, which can translate to misusing or mistrusting the technologies, especially in situations beyond the capability of the system.

Based on accelerations and rotation rates, which are also measured, velocities, position angles and heading can be determined. The use of MEMS gyros and accelerometers makes it possible to create a highly accurate, compact and lightweight device. Different structural shape allows choosing the right design for a variety of applications, including vehicles and VRUs (Vulnerable Road Users), construction machines, UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles) and robotics.

However their operation distracts from the driving task. In a study, the UDV therefore investigated how in-vehicle HMI should be designed to be as least distractive as possible.

The project used new approaches to automated vehicles and their architecture and culminated in the presentation of four driverless prototypes. IPG Automotive contributed the CarMaker simulation and test platform to the project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which brought together leading universities in the field of automated driving with industry specialists.
