COVER

COVER - Semantic driven cooperative vehicle infrastructure systems for advanced eSafety applications

Objectives

The main aim of the COVER project is to foster the creation of the next generation intelligent cooperative systems that will make road transport more efficient and effective, safer and more environmentally friendly.

COVER, by integrating semantic technologies, intelligent agents, in-car and infrastructure sensor data, multi-channel communication technologies and context-aware and multimodal (voice/graphics) interfaces, will provide user-friendly, cost-effective, interoperable semantic-driven cooperative systems able to gain unprecedented road transport efficiency as well as implement advanced eSafety applications.

Within the COVER cooperative system application scenario the role of contexts will be central: not only COVER will be able to ensure communication in and between vehicle and infrastructure so as to feed ADAS and Traffic Management systems, but, by exploiting the benefits of an ontology-based approach which allows context knowledge to be shared among different entities and reasoning about contexts, it will provide the needed abstraction from sensor data, to detect dangerous situations etc. in order to trigger proper eSafety actions based e.g.,  on curvature radius or automatic road sign recognition, help drivers facing critical driving situation resulting from road topography, geometry, use status and conditions, etc.
