MOTOrcycle Rider Integrated SafeTy (MOTORIST)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2018,
Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs) are an efficient and flexible transport system and their use is beneficial especially in the more and more congested European cities. Unfortunately the PTW riders are exposed to a high risk of becoming a victim in a crash mainly due to the difficulty to control a PTW under all circumstances but also due to limited conspicuity. In addition when PTW riders are crash victi ...

Human Factors of Automated Driving (HFAuto)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
Road transport is an essential part of society but the burden of traffic crashes, congestion, and pollution is enormous. Highly automated driving (HAD) has the potential to resolve these problems and major car makers foresee that HAD will be technically ready for commercialisation within one decade from now. However, industry is ill-prepared to deal with imminent human-error and legal consequences ...

European Rare Earth Magnet Recycling Network (EREAN)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
"Because China dominates the rare-earth market and is reducing its export quota, there is a very high supply risk for rare earths in Europe. To tackle this rare-earth crisis, Europe needs to invest in primary mining, substitution and, in particular, urban mining/recycling. To date, less than 1% of the rare earths are being recycled, due to, amongst others, a lack of efficient recycling technologie ...

A Decision Support System incorporating a validated patient-specific, multi-scale Balance Hypermodel towards early diagnostic Evaluation and efficient Management plan formulation of Balance Disorders (EMBalance)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
Human balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor systems that include sensory input from vision, proprioception and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation); integration of the sensory input; and motor output to the muscles of the eye and body. Failure at the level of the sensory inputs or at the integration of the sensory information by the central ...

The modulation of vestibular reflexes during self-generated head-neck movements (HEADS-UP)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
"Stable head posture is something most people take for granted, and is essential to perform daily activities such as balancing, navigating and moving. Neck muscles generate head motion to establish a stable reference frame for the visual and vestibular (i.e. balance organ) systems, allowing the rest of our body to engage in other motor behaviours. The vestibular system provides information regardi ...

REconfiguration of CONtrol in Flight for Integral Global Upset REcovery (RECONFIGURE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,
Commercial aircraft fault tolerant control (FTC) strategies in the flight control system (FCS) are based on fail-safe approaches whereby a nominal control law is switched first to a robust solution and then if necessary to a direct law controlling the actuators surfaces. Each component of the control law set is designed off-line and has a different level of robustness and performance. The reasons ...

robotICs: do autonomous robots benefit from an Intermittent Control (IC) implementation? (robotICs)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,
Robotics is predicted to be the next big step in the digital revolution. Therefore, Europe should keep a globally leading position in this much promising arena. One problem in robotics is that state-of-the-art humanoids still cannot stand ground in environments that we humans easily confront. Our proposal deals with the challenging solution of replicating the adaptability and flexibility of human ...
