ConACon
18018
From 2019 to 2021
The ConACon project focused on systems for machines and vehicles that need to operate under variable conditions. TML investigated mobility aspects, focusing on the impact of improved vehicle control on traffic modelling, congestion mitigation, and energy use, and explored integration into a broader traffic management framework.
The ConACon (Context Aware Control) project focused on manufacturers of machines, vehicles, and components who develop systems that must be able to operate in variable conditions. We also focused on the related software and the service providers involved. Variable conditions mean that controller performance is also variable, so optimal performance can only be obtained by matching controller parameters. Therefore, there is a need for more context-sensitive control.
Within this project, TML specifically focused on the mobility aspects. To this end, we assessed the impact of improved vehicle control (with or without autonomous driving) on traffic modelling, congestion mitigation, energy consumption, and driver attention. In addition, we studied its integration into a more comprehensive traffic management framework.

ConACon was nominated for the Flemish Safety Award 2020.
Following this nomination, the VSV made a short film about ConACon.
