′PROSPECT - Proactive Safety for Pedestrian and Cyclists′ project at′The Transport Research Arena Conference′

′The Transport Research Arena Conference′ came to its end. These were exciting four days, full of presentations and exhibitions. IDIADA as a coordinator of ′PROSPECT - Proactive Safety for Pedestrian and Cyclists′ project (https://www.prospect-project.eu/) had a great honor to present our achievements on behalf of project team (involving most of the relevant partners from the automotive industry, including important active safety vehicle manufacturers and tier-1 suppliers as well as academia and independent test labs).
