Intelligent Car Initiative - Structure and Working Fields

Structure and Working Fields

The Intelligent Car Initiative rests on three pillars:

  • The eSafety Forum. The Commission builds on the eSafety Forum (eSafety's 'Parliament') to coordinate all stakeholders having an interest in road traffic safety or a speedier deployment of advanced, ICT-based safety systems. In this respect, the eSafety Initiative, which was already founded in 2002, was a kind of precursor of the Intelligent Car Initiative,
  • Research projects in information and communication technologies, as far as they explore road safety, traffic and 'clean mobility' management projects. This holds for the 6th and 7th European Framework Programmes for Research,
  • Awareness-raising activities, designed to increase the knowledge of drivers, consumers and decision makers of these 'intelligent' car safety systems. The Commission's own 'Intelligent Car web site', which hosts among other things an interactive quiz, is part of these awareness-raising actions.

Famous quotes containing the words structure and, structure, working and/or fields:

    One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    For the structure that we raise,
    Time is with materials filled;
    Our to-days and yesterdays
    Are the blocks with which we build.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    It is not only a question of who is responsible for very young children. There is no longer anyone home to care for adolescents and the elderly. There is no one around to take in the car for repair or to let the plumber in. Working families are faced with daily dilemmas: Who will take care of a sick child? Who will go to the big soccer game? Who will attend the teacher conference?
    Fran Sussner Rodgers (20th century)

    East and west on fields forgotten
    Bleach the bones of comrades slain,
    Lovely lads and dead and rotten;
    None that go return again.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
