📣 IMPROVA Road Safety 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝗳 Over a dynamic three-day event (3-5 June 2024), the IMPROVA consortium gathered at IDIADA Main Technical Center in Spain to bond and align our efforts ahead of the start of the project.  🎯 #IMPROVA strives for a “Vision Beyond Zero” by preventing life-altering injuries related to road traffic accidents and ensuring high standards of quality of life for all road users in the long term. 👩🏻🏫 IMPROVA focus on understanding and quantifying the impact of the long-term consequences (LTC) linked to road traffic accidents.  🧰 IMPROVA uses tools such as virtual testing (#VT) and Human Body Models (#HBM) to evaluate the risk of LTC due to a road accident, concerning all road users.  🥇 Coordinated by Applus+ IDIADA, the project brings together a robust international consortium of 13 partners and, additionally, an Advisory Board and Medical and Psychological Experts Panel comprising over 15 members with insights from research, industry, and policymaking. 👀 The kick-off meeting brought together representatives from all project partners. It was marked by rich and insightful discussions, detailed preparation for the work ahead, and innovation workshops aimed at gathering knowledge from all attendees to improve road safety.  🗓️ IMPROVA is a 48-month-long project funded by the #HorizonEU programme to move forward the art and practice of road safety: CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency . We look forward to the collaborative journey ahead as we work towards making significant advancements in road safety and inclusivity.  🔔 Follow IMPROVA Road Safety to stay tuned and subscribe to our newsletter for project updates! 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/eyFfYs6b  #ApplusIDIADA #IMPROVingRoadSafety #VisionBeyondZero #IMPROVARoadSafety

Utilizing a centralized Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NLMPC) architecture, the ICC coordinates various vehicle dynamics systems, including torque vectoring, rear-wheel steering, electronic stability control, and anti-lock braking. This centralization enables more optimal use of the vehicle's actuators compared to traditional independent controllers. The NLMPC controller focuses on maintaining vehicle stability and achieving desired yaw rate and sideslip angle references. Simulation and driving simulator testing demonstrate that the ICC system significantly enhances the vehicle's lateral dynamics performance compared to passive chassis systems. Key improvements include: • Increased maximum lateral acceleration • Expanded linear range of steering response • Reduced yaw rate overshoot • Minimized vehicle sideslip The ICC controller also allows for flexible tuning of the vehicle's handling characteristics, enabling different driving modes with the same hardware. Future developments may integrate the ICC with additional actuators and functions, improve actuator modeling fidelity, and connect current development to autonomous driving functions for even greater performance and efficiency. 🚘 IDIADA Vehicle Dynamics and Electronic Chassis Control System teams continue to push the boundaries of virtual development to deliver high-end solutions.
