The prototype of SafeTram system was tested on the KONČAR TMK2200 electric tram. The test drive aimed to test and verify the selected combinations of sensors and collision detection algorithms in real-world conditions.

The SafeTram system detects vehicles and pedestrians near the tram and alerts the driver to a potentially hazardous traffic situation by light and sound signals.

With a 10x shorter response time than the average human, SafeTram system will assist the driver in avoiding collisions, and contribute to the reduction of tram accidents and increasing the safety of tram traffic. Testing in real-world conditions and different everyday traffic scenarios will help improve system performance.

The SafeTram system is being developed in partnership with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, and is co-financed by European Regional Development Fund.
