interactIVe - accident avoidance by active intervention for Intelligent Vehicles
The European research project interactIVe takes the next step towards the goal of accident-free traffic.
interactIVe develops advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for safer and more efficient driving. interactIVe introduces safety systems that autonomously brake and steer.
The driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems. They warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. The systems do not only react to driving situations, but are also able to actively intervene in order to protect occupants and vulnerable road users.
Seven demonstrator vehicles – six passenger cars of different vehicle classes and one truck – will be built up to develop, test, and evaluate the next generation of safety systems.
interactIVe has started in January 2010.
The project is co-funded by the European Commission. The consortium joins the expertise of 29 partners.
It comprises large companies, small enterprises, research institutes and universities from ten European countries - Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
interactIVe is planned for three and a half years.

"Daily traffic in Europe is very dense and requires constant alertness by drivers. This demanding task can be supported by advanced driver assistance systems, which are able to help the driver by applying active steering and braking power in the right situations.
interactIVe aims not only at avoiding traffic accidents, but also at mitigating the impact of collisions that cannot be avoided.
This will lead to fewer road fatalities and less severe injuries. In addition, the support provided by intelligent vehicles will decrease the stress level of all traffic participants and lead to a more pleasant overall driving experience."
