ACTIVITIES:: eSafety :: Automation Workshop
Workshop on Automation in Road Transport, Brussels (BE), 26 October 2011
An increasingly automated road transport system has the potential to
revolutionise road traffic by significantly improving safety and energy
efficiency, reducing drivers' stress and fatigue and decreasing congestions and
pollution.
Objective of the workshop : to explore and promote the potential of
highly automated vehicles and applications for intelligent and sustainable
mobility.
