Safety First 2025 – The First Round is Complete!

in

On March 21, the first round of the Safety First! competition successfully took place, where six teams presented their innovative solutions to current challenges in transportation and vehicle safety. The participants focused not only on identifying problems but also on proposing feasible solutions, highlighting applicable technological and methodological innovations.

However, the competition is far from over: the teams have until May 9 to further develop their concepts with the support of industry and academic mentors.

Projects presented in the first round:
🔹 secUred – Enhancing Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication security through elliptic curve authentication
🔹 Percepta – Perception-Aware Intelligent Transport System for the preemptive protection of vulnerable road users
🔹 CLARA – Chessboard Lane Risk Assessment: A predictive upgrade to LKA/ACC systems for proactive collision avoidance
🔹 Kokanyek – Mechanical failure detection from vibration data using neural networks
🔹 Fuzzers – Innovative solutions for fuzz testing vehicle control functions
🔹 G.A. Fusion – Enhancing highway safety through intelligent speed limit control and sensor fusion

We would like to thank our sponsors, Bosch and JLR, for making this competition possible, as well as our jury members – Péter Simányi (JLR), Réka Jenei (Bosch), Ádám Török (BME KJK), and Tamás Kazár (BME Automated Drive) – for their professional evaluation and support.

Congratulations to all participating teams, and best of luck in the next round! 🚀
