| * | Abbreviated name: | IASPE | | | Project title: | Artificial intelligence for safety in e-scooters | | | Funding entity: | Universidad Pontifia Comillas | | | Start date: | September 2023 | | | End date: | November 2024 | | | Researcher(s): | Alberto Carnicero López, Luis Francisco Sánchez Merchante, Carlos Rodríguez-Morcillo García, Jesús Jiménez Octavio, Juan Manuel Asensio Gil, Francisco José López Valdés | | | Description: | The aim of the project is to analyze the positions and driving patterns of scooter users based on data obtained from an instrumented scooter, using artificial intelligence techniques. To achieve this, an experimental study is conducted with volunteers, and algorithms are developed for reconstructing a 3D model of the use | | | | |

| * | Abbreviated name: | RAYUELA | | | Project title: | RAYUELA. Empowering and educating young people for the internet by playing (Horizon 2020. Grant agreement No. 882828) | | | Funding entity: | European Commission | | | Start date: | October 2020 | | | End date: | October 2023 | | | Researcher(s): | Gregorio López López, Mario Castro Ponce, Álvaro Jesús López López, Javier Matanza Domingo, Sara Lumbreras Sancho, Yolanda González Arechavala, Carlos Rodríguez-Morcillo García, Rafael Palacios Hielscher, David Contreras Bárcena, Francisco Javier Herraiz Martínez, Jaime Pérez Sánchez, Luis Francisco Sánchez Merchante, Gabriel Antonio Valverde Castilla | | | Description: | The RAYUELA project is a 3-years project beginning in October 2020 with a budget of 5M EUR. The consortium involves 17 partners from 9 countries and is co-ordinated by Universidad Pontificia Comillas. The project brings together experts from different areas of knowledge from all over Europe to develop an interactive story-like game that, on the one side, will allow minors to learn good practices on the use of the Internet and associated technology by playing, and, on the other side, will allow modelling, in a friendly and non-invasive manner, online habits and potential risk profiles related to cybersecurity and cybercriminality, providing Law Enforcement Agencies with scientifically sound foundations to define appropriate policies.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 882828

| | | | | | * | Abbreviated name: | IMPROVA | | | Project title: | Injury mitigation to promote vision-zero achievement | | | Funding entity: | Unión Europea | | | Start date: | June 2024 | | | End date: | May 2028 | | | Researcher(s): | Francisco José López Valdés, Manuel Valdano, Luis Francisco Sánchez Merchante | | | Description: | Until now, the approach to road safety has primarily focused on analyzing the most common types of injuries based on road user types and crash characteristics. However, recognizing the need for a more comprehensive and proactive strategy, there is a growing consensus to shift the paradigm towards a user-centric approach that considers the specific needs (incl. their diversity) and behaviors of road users.
IMPROVA project will focus on current knowledge regarding the conditions and mechanisms leading to serious injuries of all road user types, and both physical and psychological long-term consequences as well as future scenarios regarding the overall crash occurrence considering changes due to vehicle automatization. IMPROVA will introduce a formula that will predict a likelihood of
sustaining LTC. This will allow stakeholders to estimate physical and psychological long-term consequences due to road traffic accidents in a compact manner directly after the crash. HBMs will be specifically upgraded in their capabilities to depict LTC-relevant injury mechanisms. This will be achieved through validation of mode responses against experimental tests and through the development and tailoring of risk curves, using the latest available biomechanical data. Virtual
testing procedures will be developed and demonstrated for future application environments, specifically through the involvement of industrial partners and NCAP labs.
IMPROVA network consisting of NCAPs, US, Australian and Asian entities and medical and psychological expert panel group will help the harmonization not only of the knowledge of the long-term consequences but also to harmonize the data collection, evaluation of such injuries leading to LTC and to use appropriate tools validated for this purpose. The communication with regulatory authorities, NCAPs, rescue team and end-user will enable the awareness of the topic and implementation of appropriate countermeasures. | | | | |
