Stay tuned for updates on our progress and collaborations in this exciting journey towards advancing European research and innovation.

Virtual Center of Excellence in 4 areas

HUMANIST is an international association of research organizations, created in 2007 in Lyon, France and labelled as a Virtual Center of Excellence. It is composed of 13 European Members - universities, research institutes and research intensive companies. HUMANIST integrates knowledge and expertise to federate research through Europe in four main areas. HUMANIST is based on strong member commitment and interest and members undertake research in the following areas and in the interaction between them. 
The choice of activities is determined by the needs and interests of members. As a general rule, all HUMANIST activities involve the active cooperation of at least three members.

Transport Safety

Safety in transport has always been a priority for the societies. Air, waterborne and rails transport of passengers is already very safe in Europe, and much progress has been made in road safety in terms of reducing road traffic injuries and deaths. Nevertheless, the number of people injured and killed in road crashes is still unacceptably high.

Human Behaviour in Transport

Over the last decades, human behaviour in traffic has been investigated and several efficient methodologies have been developed. But the transport environment is changing quite quickly due to implementation of innovative technologies.

Sustainable Transport

Making transport more sustainable is a major challenge for our societies, requiring a range of complementary approaches. 

Vehicle Automation

Vehicle automation is a promising development for the mobility of the future, in particular given its potential to reduce road crashes that are due to human errors. However, given the novelty of the technology there is a risk that new types of road crashes may emerge, based on unforeseen interactions between vehicles and drivers.
