User Groups

The integration activities through User/Application groups are taking plce within the workpackage 5 of APSN led by CIDAUT abd co-led by TU Berlin. The workpackage 5 general objectives are:

  • Identification and specification of user needs regarding traffic safety by analysing different user & application groups.
  • Provision of a market preview, which will be used for the formulation of the NoE’s future strategy and structure.
  • Ensure that research in the field of passive safety is well disseminated to European industry and service providers, and generating at the same time the essential feedback from these communities to identify and ensure optimum research goals and integrated programmes.

On the user groups level, user specific integration objectives and corresponding tasks have been defined in order to lower specific barriers that cause fragmentation. In general the activities are directed at:

  1. the identification and priority listing of user needs & technology requirements,
  2. the stock-taking of technologies & project results suitable for joint exploitation, and synergetic analysis, e.g. transfer of “design” methodologies between user groups and from the automotive area to trains and vice versa.

The following User Groups have been defined:
