The Vrain project

7863 Applus Idiada, a technical centre and accredited 6437 Euro NCAP laboratory, will use the 2015 ITS World Congress to present the Vrain project, a multi-disciplinary, strategic initiative that will deploy a framework to enable full vehicle connectivity at the Applus Idiada proving ground. Among other subprojects, Vrain has designed a V2V-GNSS-based collision warning system and implemented a nomadic OBU functional prototype that will enhance the safety of field tests and the active management of the company’s proving ground. The project has also implemented a set of tools to aid in the development and validation of this type of safety system to support client needs.

Applus Idiada will also present its capabilities and expertise in the field of ADAS assessment and validation towards automated driving. Visitors will also have the opportunity to visit the Volar-e, a 1080 HP fully-electric race car designed by Applus Idiada engineers, with state-of-the-art functionalities, such us 802.11p connectivity.

    European safety organisation Euro NCAP is introducing a new test that will check how well vehicles autonomously detect and prevent collisions with pedestrians, which it says will make it simpler for consumers and manufacturers to find out which systems work best. According to Euro NCAP, independent analysis of real world crash data in the UK and Germany indicates that the deployment of effective autonomous emergency braking systems on passenger cars could prevent one in five fatal pedestrian collisions.

    The increasing availability and accuracy of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is opening up low-cost options in many areas as David Crawford finds out. Boosting commercialisation of European global navigation satellite system (EGNSS) technologies for ITS initially depends heavily on demonstrating competitive and cost/benefit advantages obtainable from the deployment of EGNOS (the current European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and ultimately the EU’s Galileo constellation (see box). So,
