DESIGN OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR A TRAM USING PRESCAN

In a study the traffic safety of trams was identified as an important area for improvement. Hence, TNO and a public transport company started a partnership to improve the traffic safety of trams and light rail through driver assistant systems. Both from identified situations and measured situations the most interesting were selected for the development of a driver assistance system. The development of the driver assistance system was be done using TNO's new simulation tool PreScan. Results of the driver assistance system are shown using results of the PreScan simulation. For the covering abstract see E134653.
