FLEX
The objective of the FLEX project is: To improve flexible, accessible, and affordable public transport in the German-Dutch border region, with its core activity being the integration of automated transport solutions, such as teleoperation and Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM), in existing public transport services.
FLEX is made possible by financial support from Interreg Germany Netherlands.

ATLAS
The ATLAS project focuses on the growing demand for safe, sustainable, and efficient transport solutions in heavy industry. In ATLAS, MST and V-Tron are working together on an add-on telecommunications system that is crucial for the operation of autonomous vehicles in mixed traffic environments, such as industrial sites.
ATLAS is made possible with financial support from the MitZuid Stimulus program.

VRU Guard – Smart safety system on construction sites
With short-range communication (V2X), VRU Guard makes vulnerable road users visible to vehicles and drivers, even before they themselves notice the danger. Together with innovative construction companies and technology partners, V-tron is developing this system to reduce the risk of collisions and thus save lives.
V2X communication can thus save human lives!

CARE – TELE-OPERATED CRASH ABSORBER
The partners in CARE want to jointly realize a 5G use case with remote-controlled crash absorbers as the application. 5G wireless networks meet the high demands placed on the use case of tele-operated vehicles. The use of tele-operated crash absorbers during road works will increase the safety and efficiency of these activities.

DITM - WP2
DITM – TELE-AUTOMATION
The objective of WP2 of the Digital Infrastructure for Future Mobility (DITM) project is to use automation and remote control to develop an advanced use case that can precede fully autonomous vehicles. The technology currently available offers possibilities for automating certain driving tasks in the vehicle, but has limitations where a driver must take control.

ISA
ISA is one of the mandatory ADAS which will apply to every newly developed car starting next month. What makes our ISA unique is that it also allows the information to be used to limit the maximum speed of the car, preventing drivers from speeding.

Teleoperated Trailer-Mover
Together with Verhagen BV and TNO, V-tron wants to focus on developing a solution at component and system level for the Teleoperated Trailer-Mover in order to achieve an optimal composition of the total system and guarantee the effectiveness and safety of automated solutions in this type of environment. One of the technological challenges of automation in enclosed areas is accurate, robust, low-latency, and reliable localization. This standard solution must also be scalable and modular.

HUBRIS – Human like ADS
HUBRIS is a collaboration between 18 partners and 5 supporting organizations to promote the use of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) by enabling the systems to exhibit more human-like behavior; the human counterpart.
HUBRIS stands for HUman-like Behaviour of Robotic In-vehicle Systems: the development of a high-level self-learning control system, namely the ‘human counterpart’, to bridge the gap between drivers and ADS.

SMARTZONE BUFFER – DMI-ECOSYSTEEM
The city of the future must work with interventions and no longer allow road safety, quality of life, and climate to be compromised. Smart management will have to take place at the ‘gate’. Traffic must be managed intelligently, and trucks without reservations for loading and unloading or insufficient opportunity for safe driving/maneuvering in zones must be banned.
