Combat the risk of accidents

Combat the risk of accidents

As part of the EU-funded research project “Pistis”, testing of an “Automotive Data Hub” has just begun, which is intended to revolutionize road safety. A consortium of 31 partners from 11 European countries is involved in the development. Led by Fraunhofer “Fokus”, the project, which runs until June 2026, aims to develop a platform for secure data exchange and trading. By leveraging data from various sources shared via the PISTIS platform - including driving behavior, weather conditions and accident data - the Automotive Data Hub aims to provide drivers with near real-time warnings of potential hazards, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.

Real-time alerts

Automotive Data Hub features include a Driver Warning Service Platform, an In-Vehicle Driver Warning App, a dashboard for driving risk model developers, and a third-party driver risk dashboard. The tool also enables mobility management for companies and the modeling of urban emissions. Alexander Stocker, Key Researcher & Project Manager at the Virtual Vehicle Research Center: "The Automotive Data Hub is a significant step forward in our mission to increase road safety and improve the overall driving experience. By seamlessly integrating data from various sources and using advanced analysis methods, we want to give both drivers and traffic managers the opportunity to make informed decisions and proactively reduce the risk of accidents." Florian Feik, Project Manager at Trafficon, adds: "Integrating data via the Pistis platform allows us to refine emission models of road vehicles and develop innovative tools for city analysis and mobility management for companies. This collaboration opens up new possibilities for sustainable and efficient transport solutions."
