The past decade has seen significant progress on active pedestrian safety, as a result of advances in video and radar technology. In the intelligent vehicle domain, this has recently culminated in the market introduction of first-generation active pedestrian safety systems, which can perform autonomous emergency braking (AEB-PED) in case of critical traffic situations. PROSPECT will significantly improve the effectiveness of active VRU safety systems compared to those currently on the market. This will be achieved in two complementary ways: (a) by expanded scope of VRU scenarios addressed and (b) by improved overall system performance (earlier and more robust detection of VRUs, proactive situation analysis, and fast actuators combined with new intervention strategies for collision avoidance). PROSPECT targets five key objectives: i. Better understanding of relevant VRU scenarios ii. Improved VRU sensing and situational analysis iii. Advanced HMI and vehicle control strategies iv. Four vehicle demonstrators, a mobile driving simulator and a realistic bicycle dummy demonstrator v. Testing in realistic traffic scenarios and user acceptance study The consortium includes the majority of European OEMs (Audi, BMW, DAIMLER, TME and Volvo Cars) currently offering AEB systems for VRU. They are keen to introduce the next generation systems into the market. BOSCH and CONTI will contribute with next generation components and intervention concepts. Video algorithms will be developed by UoA and DAIMLER. Driver interaction aspects (HMI) are considered by UoN and IFSTTAR. Euro NCAP test labs (IDIADA, BAST, TNO) will define and validate test procedures and propose standardization to Euro NCAP and UN-ECE. Accident research will be performed by Chalmers, VTI and BME, based on major in-depth accident databases (GIDAS and IGLAD) and complemented by East Europe data. The work will be done in cooperation with experts in Japan (JARI, NTSEL) and the US (VTTI, UMTRI, NHTSA).

Accredited projects for mobility of learners and staff are implemented by organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation. Each accredited project represents a step in the implementation of the organisation's long-term Erasmus Plan.

"With the mobility project ""Workplace Europe - Practical Work-Experience and Job-Placement Intercurltural and Language Competencies IV"", in cooperation with the Erasmus+, we are offering 55 interns the possibility of a three-month foreign-assignment with one of our european partner businesses, during the timeframe of July 2014 to June 2016.The interns offer business and technical backgrounds. The profile selection criteria for the participants encompass excellent scholastic and foreign language achievements, as well as outstanding social competencies.Through the advantages of international mobility, we seek to offer participants a platform for increased knowledge and personal development. This is offered in a broad spectrum of areas which includes business, language and intercultural competencies, as well as increased in independent decision making processes and taking personal responsibility. In addition, we seek to support and strengthen personal value-systems such as flexibility, tolerance and respect.Furthermore, we view our interns as ambassadors of our company's educational-l and trainingsystems which will offer and transport their know-how to our partners throughout the european nation. As a result, we are also eager and grateful recipients of all new ideas and concepts our interns bring back to their home-company.In summary, as a result ot the Mobilityproject in cooperation with our regional and european partners, we seek to evoke an strengthen interest in reciperatory business-partnerships for valuable learning systems."

"The mobility project ""Workplace Europe - Practical Work-Experience and Job-Placement Intercultural and Language Competencies V"", in cooperation with the Erasmus+, offered 59 apprentices the possibility of a three-month foreign assignment with one of our European partner businesses, during the timeframe of September 2018 to August 2020. The apprentices have business, as well as technical backgrounds. They are selected on the basis of school performance, foreign language ability and also soft skills. The advantages of international mobility provide participants a platform to increase knowledge and personal development. This is offered in a broad spectrum of areas, which includes business, language and intercultural competences. Apprentices are encouraged to make independent decisions and take responsibility for themselves. Furthermore we view our apprentices as company ambassadors of our educational programs and they transfer their know-how to our partners throughout Europe. Thanks to the mobility project and its marketing we aim to inspire and motivate all partners within Germany and Europe. In 2019 we were able to welcome five pupils from VW Slovakia and four apprentices from atec as well as four from Audi Hungaria. The pupils stayed two weeks and the eight apprentices were sent to our company for a period of six or eight weeks. In the current year we planned to welcome eleven guest students in Ingolstadt and confirmed the stays to our partner companies. Due to the beginning of the pandemic in spring 2020, two apprentices from Skoka were sent back to the Czech Republic earlier than planned. All other deployments had to be cancelled because of Corona.In autumn 2019 we were happy to welcome four HR colleagues from Skoda."
