5. Our Approach in Easy Rider Project 1/2
LINEA 3
 The main goal of Line 3 partners activities is to design and to
develop a service oriented platform that will be guaranteed a safety
approach using an accident risk prevention process and an
emergency intervention planning.
 In our system it will be possible:
 Gathering information from sensors installed inside the vehicles and
from other subsystems and transmit them to system management
components. (Prevention Macro- Functionality)
 Evaluate the right risk level estimated on different information related to
driver psycho-physic condition, vehicle state and environmental situation
(Managing Macro- Functionality)
 Coordinate the emergency intervention among different stakeholders
involved after a road accident, in order to evaluate the best path to
reach the accident point (Intervention Macro- Functionality)

7. Easy Rider Project - Line 3 Activities
LINEA 3
 Prevention Activity
 in-vehicle monitoring of driver’s parameters (blood pressure, ECG, heart
rate, heart rhythm regularity, ect.), in order to guarantee remote medical
assistance and accident risk alerting
 contactless monitoring of the driver’s behaviour subsystem for alcohol
abuse and drug use
 Management Activity
 methodologies and services for dynamic mapping of critical points in the
road network
 evaluating of the risk level using the contextual information gathered, in
order to alert quickly the driver.
 Intervention Activity
 managing emergencies in a cooperative and collaborative way
according to the EUN (112) using contextual data and fluid dynamic
approach to optimize and to reduce time intervention.

8. Prevention: subsystem for alcohol abuse and drug use 1/3
LINEA 3
 Alcohol and drug use in driving: some information
 All types of drugs, not only the most harmful, are fundamentally a
poison for the body, but above all for the mind.
 “In Italy cocaine, heroin and more “light” drugs will grow, in the next 3 years, till
to reach 1 million of Italians among 15 and 54 years, due to an aggressive
pushers strategy to widen the basis of the drug addicts”. (Source: Prevo Lab
Lombardia Report)
 Is estimated that about 1/5 of the European accidents pertaining to the road are
caused from the alcohol consumption and the alcohol abuse.

9. Prevention: subsystem for alcohol abuse and drug use 2/3
LINEA 3
Technical and functional features of the subsystem
 Is embedded in the on-board system for info-telematics management
(OEM), or add-on (AM) for freight delivery or public transport vehicles, to
monitor drivers and their behaviour.
 Monitors the physical and clinical conditions by means of contactless
sensors that evaluate, without active or voluntary interventions from the
driver:
 correct position in the driver seat;
 alcohol abuse;
 drug use.
 Defines the follow-up of the monitoring by means of:
 modulated interventions on different levels, according to the importance of the
surveyed parameters,
 on demand of the fleet manager (memory storage in protected areas, sending
alarm signals towards the Service Centre, possible disability of the engine
starting).

10. Prevention: subsystem for alcohol abuse and drug use 3/3
LINEA 3
Estimated advantages
 Innovation:
 verifies the ability of the driver to carry out the tasks;
 usage of contactless technologies.
 Competitive aspects of the developed subsystem:
 costs;
 modularization;
 configuration;
 easy to install;
 adaptable to different communication standards;
 flexible and modular HW/SW.
Industrial sectors for applications
 transport fleets (for freight and/or people) and therefore the world of
industrial and commercial vehicles
 drivers of railcars, ships, ferries.

 Continuous monitoring of vital signs: ECG, heart rate, heart rhythm regularity determining the
physiological state of the driver
 Definition of alerting algorithms based on the measurements coming from the sensors
 Integration of the medical sensors in the driver environment.
 Development of a communication protocol between the drivers monitoring subsystem and the
main server
 Integration and interface to other systems

LINEA 3
Medical Emergency Monitoring subsystem
Key issues:
 Monitoring by means of a wireless wearable device for the following parameters of the driver: Blood
Pressure, ECG, Heart Rate, Heart Rhythm Regularity, Breathing Rate, Blood Oxygen Saturation and
Body Temperature.
 The measurement data coming from the wireless monitoring devices are sent via Bluetooth to the
driver's cellphone, which forwards the measurements data to a Service Center.

13. Management: dynamic mapping of critical points in the road network 1/2
LINEA 3
 The dynamic mapping of critical points is a very
useful technique of road accident analysis on
areassegmentspoints of road network to know the
road risk level and causes of crash.
 Its application is very interesting for 3 final users: (S1, T1)
(S2, T2)
 Car makers: to improve theirs product (active, passive
and preventive safety), and to create infomobility
services for safety.
 Road managers: to monitor the road network, realize
the road safety measurements and to inform road
users of critical events during the trip.
 Road users: to select the safest trip and adapt the
guide behavior in order to respect the warning signal .
