We were pleased to have been invited to present our final results at this year’s #RTR2025 conference. Project coordinator, Anna Anund, spoke about the achievements of the project, as well as some of the lessons learnt along the way. You can find her presentation below.
The PANACEA project has contributed to advancing road safety by developing a comprehensive, 24-hour driver monitoring solution. This innovative solution focuses on detecting and managing various driver impairments and states, including fatigue, stress, alcohol and drug consumption, and distraction. By targeting these critical factors, PANACEA aims to improve fitness to drive among professional drivers and […]
In 2024, PANACEA started a new podcast series. These podcasts were an opportunity to learn more about a particular aspect of the PANACEA project by chatting to one of the people responsible for designing and developing it. We kicked off the series by sitting down with Dr Selpi from Chalmers University to talk about how […]
Throughout the final year of the PANACEA project, the effectiveness of the PANACEA solution was evaluated in the three Use Cases: Use Case A (Shuttle buses, Sweden), Use Case B (Delivery service riders and taxi drivers, Greece) and Use Case C (Coach drivers, Spain). The main results of the evaluation will be made available on […]
These posters developed for the TRA conference in Dublin in April 2024 are a quick and easy way to learn more about the PANACEA project and its holistic fitness to drive solution. There’s a poster on the sensors used in the project, another on the Biomathematical Model predicting fatigue, one on the decision-making process developed […]
The third and final year of the PANACEA project was a bumper year for attending conferences and events to spread the word about the project. PANACEA partners attended 13 different events in total. Here’s an overview of the events they went to and what they talked about. International Symposium on Intelligent Technology for Future Transportation […]
As well as having abstracts and presentations accepted at key conferences, PANACEA partners also published 5 articles in scientific journals and authored one chapter of a handbook: ‘Coupling Capillary-Driven Microfluidics with Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Signal Enhancement’ Pooya Azizian, Jasmina Casals-Terré,Elena Guerrero-SanVicente, Ruta Grinyte, Jordi Ricart and Joan M. Cabot Biosensors https://www.mdpi.com/2079-6374/13/8/832 —————————————————————- ‘Temporal Dashboard […]
The PANACEA final event took place online on 10 September. During this webinar we presented details of how the integrated fitness to drive monitoring and assessment system was built, how the countermeasures were selected and designed and what the outcomes were from the pilot sites. We also looked forward towards the impact of the project […]
In this podcast we talk to Dr Anna Sjörs Dahlman from VTI in Sweden about the results of the PANACEA pilot sites (Use Cases) where the PANACEA system was tested in different countries and with different driver groups.
The PANACEA project was mentioned in two recent articles written on driver safety in the commercial press. Commercial motor magazine wrote about how driver checks before driving are just as important as vehicle checks – ‘The appliance of science: driver checks could soon replace walk-around checks as the first tasks of the working day as […]
The PANACEA project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 953426.
