Topical Events
Final Presentation of the Research Initiative AKTIV in Mendig
In the course of the final presentation at the ‘Vehicle Testing Mendig’ on June 23rd and 24th, the research initiative AKTIV presented its solutions for safer and smoother traffic in the future. After four years of intensive research work, the AKTIV partners visualized how to enhance road safety, relieve drivers and harmonise traffic flows. In numerous demonstrations and simulations the functionality, operation, and value of technical innovations has been illustrated to about 300 guests.
2nd Aktiv Plenary Meeting
May 25.-26., 2009
Daimler AG, “Haus Lämmerbuckel”
Aktiv Project CoCar:
Milestone Presentation on May 14th 2009
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, Munich
The Aktiv project Cooperative Cars (CoCar) has investigated to which extent current UMTS based cellular communication technologies are suited to enable the transmission of traffic related vehicle data, such as road hazard warnings, in order to improve road traffic safety and efficiency.
The five project partners Daimler, Ericsson, MAN, Vodafone and Volkswagen presented their research results after 2.5 years of cooperative research in the course of a milestone presentation.
Oral presentations, booths and live driving demos on the MAN test area provided with an insight on how up-to-date road traffic information and time critical warnings can be transmitted by UMTS cellular systems in practice.
