Project: SafeXCity: Augmented Safety for Urban Mobility

Acronym: SafeXCity
Main Objective:
The SafeXCity proposal is designed to improve the safety of Vulnerable Road Users like pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas by using timely applications and services. This is achieved by utilizing Connected Vehicles, Vehicle-to-Everything communication, mobility sensors, and Mixed Reality interfaces to identify potential hazards in real time and immediately alert Vulnerable Road Users to ensure their safety. The SafeXCity will enable the concept of tactile internet, providing solutions to the challenges introduced by Extended Reality (EX) scenarios, in terms of networks and service orchestration where time is an important requirement. The project will be implemented in Aveiro, Portugal, through the Aveiro Tech City Living Lab and involves the integration of both autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles, edge computing, and city infrastructure to facilitate quick and synchronized communication necessary for timely safety measures.
