eMobility – Strategic Applications AgendaAnnex B26. HMI Issues: Darwin and EuclideBackground and ObjectivesDARWIN:The aim of DARWIN was the development of a vision enhancement system based on infrared techniques. Thehuman machine interface approach is based on a head-up display technology designed to address car drivers‘requirements.EUCLIDE:EUCLIDE is a follow up of the DARWIN project and concentrates on enhanced human machine interface for onvehicle integrated driver support. For the vision enhancement it is using head-up display. The aim is to developan HMI showing data fusion of infrared and radar for vision enhancement in order to deliver critical situationinformation.http://www.crfproject-eu.org/27. Digital Maps & Multimedia: Next-Map, ACT-MapBackground and ObjectivesWith the aim to enable new ITS applications as well as improve or extend existing ones, the NextMAP project isevaluating the technical and commercial feasibility of enhanced map databases required for in-vehicle ITSapplications.The aim of ActMAP is the dynamic actualisation of in-vehicle digital map databases. This includes the desiredinvestigation and development of standardised mechanisms to deliver actualised map components to beintegrated and used by in-vehicle applications.http://www.ertico.com28. CVIS – Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure SystemsBackground and ObjectivesThe CVIS project aims to design, develop and test the technologies needed to allow cars to communicate andnetwork directly with the roadside infrastructure.The objectives are as follows:Create a standardised in-vehicle and roadside module capable of connecting continuously and seamlesslyusing a wide range of communication media, including mobile cellular and wireless local area networks,short-range microwave (DSRC) or infrared.Develop techniques for enhanced vehicle positioning and improved local dynamic maps, using satellitenavigation and the latest methods for location referencing.Define and test new systems for cooperative traffic and network monitoring for use both in vehicle androadside equipment, to detect incidents instantly and anywhere.Develop architecture, software and hardware prototypes for a number of example cooperativeapplications and services for urban and interurban traffic management, as well as freight and fleetmanagement.149
