Detailed Call Description
To achieve these objectives it is expected that activities will focus on the following aspects:
- Perception-focused solutions and features (e.g. temperature, lighting, sound/acoustics, vibration, seating, posture), aimed at enhancing the sense of safety, privacy, and well-being while eliminating stress, including personalisation, addressing the specific needs of individuals from diverse user groups (e.g. elderly, disabled, tourists).
- Alternative, flexible and automated interior configurations to better suit occupants’ needs.
- Solutions that further advance the state-of-the-art with respect to tackling motion sickness.
- Adaptive systems that can also transfer preferred personal settings between vehicles to increase the user acceptability of shared vehicles.
- New mobility services also for users with special needs (e.g. elderly and disabled), which take into account the heterogeneous requirements and preferences of different target groups.
- Technologies to ensure the security of the occupants, which monitor inside and outside the vehicle to reduce the risk of its misuse and counteracting dangerous situations (e.g. assaults, vandalism, thefts, etc.).
