The CITRUS project is dedicated to advancing intelligent transportation systems that enhance road safety and support sustainable urban mobility. Through innovative research and technological development, the project aims to improve the interaction between vulnerable road users, connected infrastructure, and modern vehicles.
Our research activities focus on the design, implementation, and evaluation of cooperative and connected mobility solutions. By combining sensor technologies, communication systems, and data-driven approaches, CITRUS seeks to create a safer and more efficient traffic environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users.
Key research areas include:
- Development of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS)
- Detection and protection of vulnerable road users
- Infrastructure-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication
- Data analysis and real-time traffic information processing
- Safety assessment and validation of innovative mobility solutions
- Pilot testing and evaluation in real-world urban environments
The project follows a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together experts from research institutions, industry, and public stakeholders. This collaboration ensures that technological innovations are developed with practical implementation and societal benefits in mind.
Through continuous research, testing, and validation, CITRUS contributes to the future of connected mobility and supports the transition towards safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation systems.
