Abstract

A key objective of the EU Transport Policy is to reduce considerably (50 % and more in the future) casualties due to road accidents. Various programs have been established to investigate new sensor technologies and the resulting applications as basis for advanced driver assistance systems. The project ADOSE (Reliable Application Specific Detection of Road Users with Vehicle On-board Sensors, FP7 ICT 216049) addressed the enhancement of preventive and active safety functions through the development of high performance and low cost sensing technologies suitable for detection and classification of vulnerable road users under harsh environmental, weather and light conditions by combining and evaluating complementary technologies. Partners were Fiat CRF (co-ordinator), BOSCH, Magneti Marelli, ST Microelectronics, TRIAD, UMICORE, Paragon, IMEC, VTT, Fraunhofer IZM, Uppsala University and AIT Austrian Institute of Technology. The paper will shortly describe the ADOSE approach, the scenarios that were taken into account (and why), major results and provide some comments on the most unusual sensor validated, the SRS sensor from AIT.
