Centre of Excellence for Road Safety (CoERS) is partnering with Mercedes Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) to develop tech-enabled solutions for vehicle safety. The initiative aims pivot young minds, particularly students towards developing technology through competitive efforts – a hackathon.
As part of this collaboration, the CoERS Road Safety Ideathon was thrown open to students of IIT Madras focussing on the areas of Accident Research, Autonomous Driving, Pedestrian Safety, Occupant Safety, Post-Crash Support, Electric Vehicles, Infrastructure, and Other Vehicles. Cash prizes were given to the winners along with mentorship and internship opportunities at MBRDI.
