The PRISM Project - Identifying the Needs for European Smart Restraints

The objectives of PRISM are to facilitate the efficient and effective development of "smart restraint systems" to suit European conditions. It recognises that some such technologies are already under development to improve occupant safety during crashes. This project should greatly assist the development of efficient smart restraint systems, thereby reducing societal costs. It should also improve the competitiveness of the European motor industry by providing clear guidelines on the functionality and evaluation requirements for such systems. This is to be achieved by using new real world data, bespoke computer models of high-risk scenarios, and a thorough evaluation of their scenarios using a variety of techniques. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141807.
