Traffic Safety Analysis

To constantly enhance traffic safety, we need to know what is happening on the roads today, how current safety systems perform in real-life traffic, and how to design safety systems for the future.

We use various data sources and methods to prioritize research topics, develop test methods, calculate retrospective safety benefits and predict future benefits. The analysis and predictions from this research serve as requirements for the development of future safety systems.

Human Factors

To take the next leap in traffic safety, Veoneer is designing solutions based on truly cross-disciplinary research. Sensing capabilities of the vehicle need to be incorporated so that the vehicle can take driving context as well as driver state into account when responding to traffic events. Our research within human factors spans everything from road-user behavior to usage of safety systems and comfort. Safety systems must be intuitive, intelligent, comfortable, and provide trust.

Robotics

To truly make use of the opportunities offered by automation and digitization, we need to know the system requirements for different levels of automation and different types of vehicles. Our focus within robotics research is system requirements as well as methods and tools for verification of automated systems.
