The SPARC (Secure Propulsion using Advanced Redundant Control) project has been running from 1st January 2004 to 30th June 2007. The main motivation behind SPARC is to support the European Union in halving the number of fatal accidents on European roads by 2010. In the majority of cases - in fact in more than 95% of the cases - the driver is the one who is responsible for causing such serious accidents and it is not technology which is to blame. In this context, SPARC concentrates on supporting the driver by developing an accident-avoiding vehicle using a Safety Decision Control System which is designed to monitor the state of the driver, e.g. for drowsiness, and to react accordingly. SPARC aims to make it possible for the vehicle to react to its environment in both a passive and an active sense. Passively, by providing the driver with a status of what is going on around him and by checking that the driver's reaction is appropriate. In an active sense the vehicle is able to intervene in the driving course with the help of a secure duo-duplex redundant powertrain architecture if the driver can no longer do this himself.
