Cooperative Connected Intelligent Vehicles for Safe and Efficient Road Transport

The EU-funded COSAFE project will develop cooperative connected intelligent vehicles (CIV) based on vehicular communication technology. It will address road transport challenges with sharing of resources and technological cooperation enabling the development of an innovative CIV solution. Supported by different advanced research technologies, such as vehicle edge computing, vehicle communication, data fusion, advanced driving systems or cellular network resource management, it can tackle related encounters. New innovative applications will improve transportation efficiency, safety and European ICT competitiveness.

The resulting CIV technologies and applications will help reduce road accidents, improve transportation efficiency and reduce traffic congestion. They hold great potential for technology innovation, and are directly applicable to autonomous driving, smart cities, and the wider scientific community. With competent and complementary expertise of the partners and their extensive international research collaboration experience, COSAFE will promote knowledge sharing, foster research innovation, enhance the potential of participating researchers, and contribute to the European competitiveness and leadership in the automotive and ICT sectors. Existing research links among the partners will be strengthened. New and sustainable collaborations will be developed to build up world-class research in road-safe systems.
