Dive right into the 31 public deliverables of the i-DREAMS project by following up on this interesting interview series. This time, we focus on deliverable 9.1 in an interview with Alessia Giorgiutti from project partner POLIS about the vehicle survey operator needs.
A key goal of the system that is under development in the i-DREAMS project is to support drivers to stay within a Safety Tolerance Zone (STZ). Components being developed for this purpose are, on the one hand, real-time interventions in the vehicle (based on real-time measurements of parameters related to vehicle, driver and environment) and, on the other hand, post-trip interventions (e.g. personalised feedback and tips, but also gamification features such as goals and digital rewards in the form of badges). When developing such a system, it is important to respond to the needs of the relevant stakeholders of the different modes under investigation (i.e. cars, buses, trucks, trains and trams). To identify these needs, a survey was conducted among transport experts. Through the survey, the experts expressed the needs and requirements they have regarding technology to help improve road safety. This report also provides important input to the User Advisory Board that assists the project team in developing, testing and validating the i-DREAMS system.
