The SAFIR research partnership, based on CARISSMA's research results in integral safety, will now initiate the next step towards global, networked safety, the "Vehicle Safety 4.0". The overall objective of all SAFIR projects is to increase vehicle safety with the long-term goal of "Vision Zero" in the context of current development trends in the automotive industry. All safety aspects of individual mobility for all road users over all product life phases (product development - product use - product recycling) are considered: "Safety for all". The SAFIR projects are divided into four clusters (SAFIR Cluster, SC for short) (see Fig. 1).
Global and cooperative safety system
The subprojects of the impulse project "Global and Cooperative Security System" in SC3 merge various novel and additional information (CFK, nano-radar, Car2X communication) to the Global Environment Model. This in turn provides the input variables for the global safety functions of the product use phase, which are realised by means of example safety functions. As a special test case, special Car2X test methods (stress test) are developed in this IP due to the safety requirements, with which the safety functions can be tested. In addition, the virtual and real test methods and tools from SC1 and 2 are used in SC3. This ensures that the developed global environment model and the safety functions based on it have a practical reference and that a prompt prototype implementation is possible.
