The CARISSMA Institute of Safety in Future Mobility (C-ISAFE) is dedicated to predictive accident detection and accident consequence mitigation. It works on global vehicle safety using all available information to protect occupants and vulnerable road users. Its predictive accident detection and mitigation of crash severity contribute actively to the EU's Vision Zero. This includes safety systems ranging from sensors to actuators and their evaluation in the context of automated driving. One focus in this context is on safety in poor weather conditions.
