In 2018, the elderly population will occupy 14% of the Korean population. As the aging population will continue to grow, the accident rate due to the limited physical functions of the elderly driver will also increase. In addition, the number of traffic accidents caused by drowsy driving in Korea was 2,433 cases in 2016, and the number has been steadily increasing since 2014. For these reasons, the Korean company wishes to develop sensor embedded automotive seats to comply with the need for technology development that measures health condition such as heartrate, respiration and stress level of the driver’s. The company wishes to cooperate with a partner that has sensor technology including noise cancellation function, as well as physical analysis function.The Korean company has been supplying seat frames to Hyundai Motor, one of the biggest automobile manufacturers in Korea. Based on their several international business experiences, the company is able to comply with automobile safety regulations of Korea, the United States and Europe. In addition, with its professional know-how in manufacturing automobile parts, the company is able to re-design seat frame structure along with sensor application. The company has enough equipment for prototype production and testing. The company is currently at the conceptualization stage for this sensor-embedded seat for automobile, and is in the process of proposal writing.  As mentioned above, the company wishes to cooperate with a partner that has sensor technology including noise cancellation and physical analysis function. The goal of technology development for each phase is as follows:  R&D step-by-step technology completion goal1) Step 1: Developing measurement and analysis technology of physical information such as heartrate, respiration and stress level.   2) Step 2: Less than 10% error rate of respiration measurement and heart rate under 90~100km speed highway driving condition, and -40℃~ 95 ℃ temperature condition. 3) Step 3: Less than 10% error rate of physical analysis under general road driving condition of rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration and rough road surface etc. 4) Step 4: Prototype production and performance evaluation.  Since Ford of the United States stopped the development of a car seat for heart rate measurement, Faurecia, which collaborated with NASA, is the only company that has successfully commercialized it. Therefore, if this project is successful, the company would be the first company to develop a non-restraint automobile seat.The company plans to commercialize the technology within 5 years, and wishes to join Eurostars 2 project with the deadline of call on either March or September 2018.- EoI for the March call will be accepted until February 20, 2018 - EoI for the September call will be accepted only until August 20, 2018.
