Formula One and global road safety: Response by the FIA Foundation

The automotive industry is more concerned about vehicle and road safety. Nowadays the Govt. has introduced new safety regulations to improve the vehicle and road safety. Most of the accidents are happening because of human errors, violation of traffic rules, etc. To avoid or reduce these accidents and to meet the Govt. safety regulations the automotive industries started implementing new technologies like Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), Passive and Active safety system in vehicles. ADAS is the most important safety feature in modern automobiles. The key functionality of ADAS is to provide more comfort to the driver and to improve road and vehicle safety by minimizing human errors. To achieve these functionalities the system use sensors like Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging), Camera, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), and Ultrasonic sensors. Based on sensor input Electronic Control Unit (ECU) delivers the information to driver in terms of warnings, alarms, etc. or system takes the longitudinal and lateral control to bring the vehicle to safer zone. Focus of this paper is to discuss the hardware and software technologies used for the development of ADAS systems and its challenges.

ROAD SAFETY: A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE

PREFACEThe 1st International Scientific Conference on „Advances in Environmental Engineering“ (AEE 2017) was held in Ostrava, Czech Republic from November 28 – 30, 2017. The Conference was organised by the Faculty of Mining and Geology of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic and the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University of Košice, Slovakia. The idea of founding new series of environmentally oriented conferences was based on a need of scientists and expert from praxis in V4 region to have a common platform for exchange of knowledge and expertise on various environmental topics.The AEE 2017 offered an international platform for the dissemination of original research results, new ideas and practical development and discovered advances in the field of environmental engineering and related interdisciplinary topics.The Conference assembled more than 80 delegates, from 5 countries, including PhD students’ presentations. The papers presented involved a wide range of research fields: water and wastewater management, sediment pollution control and remediation, soil degradation, conservation and remediation, waste management, landscape management, air quality, environmental impacts of buildings and materials, durability of building materials, and use of alternative raw materials in building materials production.

The 5th International Conference on Empathic Architecture (ICEA) is a biannual international conference organized by the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Petra Christian University. The 1st ICEA was initiated on 11-12 September 2014. The 2nd ICEA was held as an International Joint Conference with the 17th SENVAR on 1-2 March 2017. The 3rd ICEA was conducted on 25-27 April 2019, in which all papers presented were published in the IOP Conference Proceeding: Earth and Environmental Science Volume 490. During the pandemic, the 4th ICEA was held online on 26 February 2021.The 5th ICEA was held at Petra Christian University, Surabaya, Indonesia, on 19-20 October 2023, with the theme “Architecture for Health and Wellbeing.” The 5th International Conference on Empathic Architecture (ICEA) aims to gather researchers, scholars, and practitioners to share and exchange their knowledge and breakthroughs in architecture, especially for health and wellbeing. It is important to seek a holistic understanding of the impact of architecture, with its design features, on human health and wellbeing. Thus, an architectural design should be responsive to user needs, inspire, motivate, give meaning, and be spirit caring.The 5th ICEA was honored to present four reputable keynote speakers: (i) A. Ray Pentecost III, DrPH, FAIA, FACHA, LEED AP from UIA-Public Health Group, USA (ii) Dr. Yuan Chao from National University of Singapore, (iii) Ir. Adi Utomo Hatmoko, M. Arch., a professional architect in hospital design from Indonesia, and (iv) Dr. Ruzika Bozovic from the National University of Singapore.The subtopics of the conference include Healing Architecture, Inclusive Architecture Design, Architecture and Perceptual memory, Lighting for well-being, Building Thermal Performance, Indoor Air Quality, Building Envelope for Wellbeing, and Wellness in an Urban Environment. Through these topics, papers from authors have been presented during the conference days as a manifestation of empathy for users and the environment through Architecture and Built Environment. After the inspiring keynote sessions and discussions during the parallel sessions, the papers were curated once more before publication in this IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science.We would like to appreciate all keynote speakers, scientific committee, moderators, conference coordinators, and participants who have contributed to this conference. Finally, we hope this 5th ICEA proceeding could encourage the development of an architecture that empathizes with the user’s health and wellbeing.The 5th ICEA Editorial Teamhttps://5thicea.petra.ac.id/homeList of Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee are available in the pdf
