About Us – TransSec

An Intelligent Road Transport Security System

TransSec is a consortium of researchers, innovators and businesses from across Europe, committed to delivering a solution to the recent rise of vehicle-based terror attacks across Europe. TransSec aims to introduce autonomous systems to detect and prevent such incidents from occurring.

The TransSec project commenced in February 2018, and is a 36-month project, funded under the Horizon 2020 Programme.

Our Objectives



ANALYSIS

To obtain a more comprehensive analysis of a situational context using a data fusion module that fuses and processes vehicle monitoring data.



DETECTION

One of the primary objectives of the project is pre-crash detection implemented onboard the vehicle to detect vulnerable objects on/off-road.



MANOEUVRING

Our aim is to implement an autonomous system into vehicles in order to perform emergency manoeuvring procedures to bring a vehicle to a safe halt in the case of a potential crash being detected.



POSITIONING

Precise vehicle positoning is critical to the project. This includes both on-road (lane) and off-road positioning and navigational systems.



SECURITY

One of our primary objectives for the project is to implement a highly-secure network of communication systems for V2V, V2I and V2P communications to be used for critical information exchange.



MONITORING

Vehicle movement will be monitored closely, especially during transport of dangerous goods. An alarm/eCall system will be implemented.
