Ercole - 2026_IDR_DAER_10
The ERCOLE project aims to develop a new process for assessing the passive safety of vehicles and road infrastructure, with particular focus on M2 and N2 vehicle categories, which are not yet fully covered by existing crash-test protocols.The project stems from the need to bridge the gap between the evolution of the vehicle fleet, characterized by increasing vehicle masses and dimensions, and the current UNECE, Euro NCAP and EN 1317 regulatory frameworks.ERCOLE integrates experimental crash testing, numerical FEM modelling, post-impact 3D reconstruction, and predictive models based on Artificial Intelligence.
