Active Safety: The Impact of SARA for Future Advances in the Field

Abstract

This paper gives an overview on recent development trends and future European initiatives in the area of automotive e-Safety. Short range radar (SRR) for novel safety and comfort systems being fostered by the SARA initiative has paved the way for more advanced ITS systems like stability control for heavy duty vehicles (HDV) or e-Call. The obstacles to make it happen, possible solutions, and the resulting benefits are discussed.
