Project Consortium
International project consortium with more than 30 partners
Project Consortium: Child Presence Detection (CPD) Project
The success of the Child Presence Detection (CPD) Project is built on the foundation of a robust and dynamic consortium, comprising numerous partners from different areas. This collaborative effort is essential to advancing the development and integration of a global harmonized dummies for developing and evaluating of CPD systems, ensuring the highest standards of vehicle safety for the most vulnerable passengers—children.
Diverse Expertise and Unified Goals
The consortium brings together a diverse array of expertise, including automotive manufacturers, technology developers, sensor- and chip-manufacturer, Tier 1 suppliers, safety organizations, research institutions and universities, and regulatory bodies. Each partner contributes unique insights and capabilities, fostering an environment of innovation and excellence. The unified goal of the consortium is to develop and implement effective dummies that can accurately simulate the presence of a child in a vehicle, aiding in the prevention of potential tragedies.
Impact of the Consortium
The collective efforts of the consortium have a profound impact on the CPD Project. By pooling resources and expertise, the consortium is able to:
- Global harmonized CPD Dummies: The collaboration of partners from 12 different countries, takes into account all relevant Sensor technologies (Wifi Sensing, Ultra-wide band Radar, HF Radar, Camera, Infrared, LiDAR), creating the base for the development of a highly realistic and harmonized OD Dummies
- Enhance System Reliability: Joint testing and validation ensure that CPD dummies are robust and capable of performing reliably in real-world scenarios.
- Child Safety – A Global Priority: The safety of children is of utmost priority. This important topic must be brought into sharper focus worldwide to ensure their safety comprehensively.
In conclusion, the Child Presence Detection (CPD) Project consortium exemplifies the power of collaboration. By bringing together a wide range of partners and fostering close cooperation, the consortium is making significant strides in enhancing vehicle safety and protecting the lives of children.
