CAPCYD (CAPteur de pression CYlindre pour moteur Diesel, leader: SIEMENS VDO; support: ADEME) 2004-2006
- Optimization of pressure transducer in spark plug, improvement of the design of a glow plug equipped with sensor to optimize sensor behavior and fatigue life.

ERTAC (leader: TRÈVES; support: EUREKA) 2001-2003
- Optimization of internal acoustic design of a car. InterAC was responsible for evaluating SEA capabilities in full car-body vehicle modeling including trim with improvement of insertion loss calculation in presence of curvature.

REBECA (REduction du Bruit Extérieur dans la Conception Automobile, leader: PSA; support: ADEME) 2006-2009
- Optimization of external acoustic radiations of a car. Main target of the REBECA project was to develop the methodology to address the European Standard pass-by noise test and predicting the radiating noise at a distance. InterAC was responsible for fundamental development on SEA methodology to provide predictive theory in case of non-uniform distributed damping in complex-shaped acoustic cavities (under bonnet acoustic volumes), presently not covered by classical analytical SEA in the general coupling case.

SONVERT (Nuisance SONore des VEhicules RouTiers, leader: FAURECIA; support: ADEME) 2005-2008
- Simulation of car external noise sources. The objective of the SONVERT project was to develop a methodology to characterize the car noise emission as a macro-acoustic source for further use in environmental impact studies. The macro-source is defined on a reference surface including all apertures between internal acoustic cavities and the external surrounding air. InterAC task was to provide the acoustic power radiated by all the apertures in operating conditions using SEA modeling of internal acoustic area. These data were then linked to other propagation techniques (ray-tracing or BEM) by other companies participating to the project.
