Sensor developer and PANACEA project partner, SENSEAIR, took the PANACEA project to this event, the Nordic region’s largest exhibition for safety and security, fire fighting, rescue work and personal protection.

ICTCT2024 (International Cooperation on Theories and Concepts in Traffic safety), October 2024

Loughborough university had a poster accepted at this conference – Assessing the Impact of Real-world Countermeasure Trials – an example from the PANACEA project.

The Road Safety and Simulation International Conference – October 2024

Loughborough University and VTI had a joint poster/extended abstract selected at this conference: Facilitating the conversation: Fatigue countermeasure for autonomous shuttle operations

AHFE, July 2024

VTI had an abstract selected at this conference – Framework for the evaluation of a holistic fitness-to-drive system for commercial drivers in the PANACEA project.

Fluid Human-System Interaction Symposium – June 24

AIT had poster selected for this conference – PANACEA: Fitness to drive: From Detection to Intervention – a Holistic Solution for Commercial Transport Stakeholders.

Transport Research Arena – April 2024

The PANACEA project was asked to join the European Commission stand at the 2024 version of TRA and it was an important opportunity to show the PANACEA system in action.

Several PANACEA project partners also had posters, presentations and abstracts accepted at the event:

• Prof. Ashleigh Filtness, Loughborough University, presented a poster: Influencing Alertness Through Remote Coaching for Professional Drivers
• Christer Ahlström, VTI, presented: Next day effects of social drinking on driver fatigue and driving performance
