Result Non Hit Car And Truck: 1. Sensor Fusion framework that support current existing sensors 2. 360 degree view of the environment 3. New function independent threat assessment called´ Maneuver Generator´ that creates collisionfree escape paths for complex traffic scenarios 4. Demonstrator vehicle with the technologies/findings visualized

Results and expected effects

Competitiveness in specific subject areas such as sensor fusion and function development has been strengthened in that way that all parties have had the opportunity to educate and thus increase the amount of persons with knowledge of the subject. Both AB Volvo and Volvo Cars have several ongoing projects there the Non Hit Car And Truck knowledge can be applied and used directly to help strengthen the research and innovation capacity. The international connection will probably be greater after the project in future European cooperation projects.

Approach and implementation

The project has been carried out using the following organization. Steering committee, project manager, scientific advisory board and team manager x 5. Team Accident scenario definition Threat Assessment and Decision Making Driver state estimation Sensor Fusion System In order to solve the tasks has a project office been arranged for Team4 = Sensor Fusion (ÅF´s office Lindholmen) and Team2 = Threat Assessment and Decision Making and Team3 = Driver state estimation has frequently used Safers conference room Haddon at Lindholmen.
