Five-year, $35 million research program designed to support safe transition to future of mobility
New research focus marks conclusion of CSRC’s successful first five years of #automotive #safety research
Since its 2011 creation, 44 completed research projects with 23 partner institutions have resulted in meaningful contributions to #auto safety
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (May 31, 2017) – Toyota’s Collaborative #safety Research Center (CSRC) today formally launched the next phase of its research mission, celebrating the successful conclusion of its first five years of #auto #safety research. The new research effort, named CSRC Next, will focus on the challenges and opportunities of autonomous and connected vehicle technologies over the next decade.
First announced in 2014, CSRC Next will direct $35 million through 2021 towards research designed to support a safe transition to the future of mobility. Projects will follow four research tracks:
1. The potential integration of active and passive #safety systems, using advanced pre-crash sensors to improve and personalize crash protection
2. Building advanced technology vehicle user experience models for individuals and society in order to improve usability and strengthen the driver-vehicle relationship;
3. Studying driver state detection, working to improve mobility using metrics for physiology and health; and,
4. Applying big data and #safety analytics techniques to develop algorithms and tools to study naturalistic driving data.
