From Theory to Practice: Continental Successfully Concludes PRORETA 5 Research Cooperation

Continental successfully concludes research cooperation PRORETA 5 with TU Darmstadt, University of Bremen and TU laşi on automated driving.

- 

Continental recently presented the results of the fifth and thus final project of the interdisciplinary research cooperation PRORETA with the Technical University of Darmstadt, the University of Bremen (both in Germany) and the Technical University of Iaşi in Romania. Many of Continental's research results from past PRORETA projects have already been further developed to the production stage. For example, in emergency brake assist or automated driving on the motorway, PRORETA is now part of modern vehicles. This shows that cooperation between industry and research helps to develop solutions that support avoiding accidents, taking the load off drivers and making autonomous mobility a reality.

Recognizing complex traffic situations with artificial intelligence 

The aim of the PRORETA 5 research project (2019 to 2022) was to investigate artificial intelligence methods for automated driving. Under the motto "Building blocks for automated urban driving enhancing city road safety", it focused on understanding the situation and movement planning of automated vehicles in urban traffic.
