TECHNICAL PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE EUROPEAN PROMETHEUS RESEARCH PROJECT

Despite many individual advances an attempt must now be made to find solutions to the problems inherent in the traffic system as a whole. That is the aim of PROMETHEUS (Program for European Traffic with Highest Efficiency and Unprecedented Safety), a European motor industry research program for achieving low-conflict road traffic in the future which is respectful of human beings. Prometheus is divided into seven work areas, which can be assigned either to industrial research or to the associated research. The 4 main areas of work are described in the report.
