Sector A: Driver and Vehicle
The main objectives of this department are all issues relating to driver-vehicle behaviour and the design of applications which enhance their performance and generally any research activities that relate to the driver-vehicle system.
- Some indicative research activities are:
- Vehicle telematics applications ("intelligent" vehicle)
- Advanced fuel technologies ("clean" vehicle)
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- Drivers and Driver Instructors training
- Advanced Driving and Vehicle Emulation Systems
- Disabled Drivers assistance systems
- Road Safety (from the driver-vehicle system perspective)
Project Sector A is divided in the following sub-sectors:
- Sub-sector Α1: Vehicle (emulatiors, ADAS Vehicle, VR)
- Sub-Sector Α2: Vehicle technologies (clean vehicles, intelligent vehicle)
- Sub-Sector Α3: Education and Training
Sector B: Infrastructure and Demand
Sector B deals with matters relating to Planning, Design, Management and Operation of the Infrastucture-Traffic system. It also deals with the Transport "demand" and the assessment of the overall Transport System, both as a whole and on a sub-system basis (modes of transport).
Some indicative research activities are:
- Development and Management of Transport Planning processes on National and Regional levels
- Analysis, Design and Data collection on Transport and Traffic related data
- Telematic Applications and advanced technologies
- Infrastructure ("intelligent" roads)
- Transport Policy issues
- Transport Systems Management and Operational issues
- Financial and Technical evaluations of Transport projects
- Transport Safety (Policies and Statistics)
- Other Transport related fields (e.g. enviromnent, energy)
