On the road with the PANACEA team
Here is an overview of events where members of the PANACEA project team have presented our research:
European Commission’s H2020 RTR, February 2023
At this conference of EU funded road transport research, PANACEA was delighted to have been invited to take part in a session on safety together with the EU-funded VIRTUAL and iDREAMS projects. PANACEA’s project partner, ETSC, was able to present the work carried out in the project so far and the ambitions for the future.
TRA, November 2022
TRA is one of Europe’s biggest Research and Technology Conference on transport and mobility. In November 2022, PANACEA teamed up with its sister Horizon 2020 project, FitDrive, to co-organise a session on human-centred countermeasures for impaired driving in commercial drivers. There were presentations from PANACEA partners VTI, Loughborough University and Virtual Vehicle, and presentations from FitDrive partners ITCL Technology Centre and Roma Tre University.
