Co-operative Networks for Intelligent Road Safety

01.02.2006 - 30.06.2012
Research funding project
COOPERS stands for CO-OPerative SystEms for Intelligent Road Safety and is an European research and development (R&D) and innovation activity within the Call 4 (Co-operative Systems and in vehicle integrated safety systems) of the 6th Framework Programme by the European Commission - Information Society and Media. Hereby COOPERS focuses on the development of innovative telematics applications on the road infrastructure with the long term goal of a ¿Co-operative Traffic Management¿ between vehicle and infrastructure, to reduce the self opening gap of the development of telematics applications between car industry and infrastructure operators. The goal of the project is the enhancement of road safety by direct and up to date traffic information communication between infrastructure and motorised vehicles on a motorway section. COOPERS started in February 2006 with the duration of 48 months and a total Budget of more than 16.800.000 ¿.
