3rd International Symposium on Future Active Safety Technology Towards zero traffic accidents

Location: Gothenburg, Sweden

The 3rd International Symposium on Future Active Safety Technology Towards zero traffic accidents will be held on September 9-11, 2015, in Gothenburg, Sweden. After two successful events in Japan, FAST-zero’11 in Tokyo, and FAST-zero’13 in Nagoya, the symposium will be held outside Japan for the first time. Sweden is a natural choice for a FAST-zero symposium since the Swedish parliament was the first to announce a Vision Zero policy. The main idea is simple: No loss of life in traffic is acceptable. But the approach is innovative; since humans make mistakes, instead of making the driver responsible, vehicles and traffic system solutions must be designed so that accidents are avoided. Focus is on active safety systems, driver characteristics and human factors, and autonomous and automatic driving vehicle. Hosts are SAFER and Chalmers University of Technology.

Call for abstract is open until February 1st, 2015.
