INTRAS has obtained the second prize for "University-Business Collaboration” for the collaboration between INTRAS and AUMAR Company, in the context of university-society awards granted by the Board of Trustees of the University of Valencia.

Since 1992 AUMAR and INTRAS established a line of continuous collaboration for the development of a series of studies, researches, and actions for improving security in the Autopista del Mare Nostrum (A7), which is held by the concession AUMAR.

The aim of the collaboration has been, among others, the study of accidents and incidents on the highways, as well as research on the alertness level involved in driving and risk perception, in order to subsequently develop a set of measures and actions to improve road safety on the highway and roads where traffic is safer and those where the accidents are mostly explained by the human factor. No doubt that this line of study and research developed between AUMAR and INTRAS has had a social impact that transcends the boundaries of university-industry cooperation.
