Scientific, economic and societal impact

In terms of impact, KARYON opens new perspectives by enabling the use of available technology for safe cooperative systems and for increased efficiency. Project results will be exploited by two large-scale companies in the aeronautics domain (GMV and EMBRAER) in a multi Billion EURO market and by one SME in the automotive market (4S Group). It is expected that their respective position in the worldwide competition will be strengthened by the project and a high return on their investment is envisaged. Academic partners will stay at the forefront of worldwide research with the knowledge and prestige gained in the project. Also, by realizing the various safety classes defined in the standard ISO 26262 on functional safety for road vehicles, safety standards in the car industry will benefit and citizens in Europe will profit from safer mobility.
