  • VISION:
    EEA4CCAM aims to empower the safe and cyber secure deployment and operation of CCAM solutions across widespread ODDs through a novel centralized, reliable, cyber-secure and upgradable in-vehicle ECA.
  • MISSION:
    EEA4CCAM will perform a paradigm shift regarding in-vehicle ECAs by developing a centralized and upgradable design that integrates HW/SW co-design, enables smart data flows, and ensures safe and cyber-secure operation.

Objectives

  • Obj. 1:
    Development of a new, centralized, and upgradable design for future in-vehicle ECAs based on HW/SW co-design enabling smart data flows to maximize efficiency, modularity, compatibility, and scalability.
  • Obj. 2:
    Exemplarily deployment of level 4 automation use cases characterized by expanded ODDs addressing complex urban scenarios and adverse weather conditions and harmonized validation methods.
  • Obj. 3:
    Enable a safe and cyber-secure operation of future CCAM solutions through system agility, experience-based decision making enabled by distributed intelligence in the edge-cloud continuity focusing on VRUs and ODD transitions.
  • Obj. 4:
    Realize a paradigm shift to integrated, resource efficient and reliable in-vehicle electronics control architectures based on open-source layouts enabling an easier development and integration of connected and automated driving functions.
  • Obj. 5:
    Set up an international cooperation of European OEMs and suppliers to co-design a harmonized ECA layout with harmonized interfaces.

Targets the design and development of a novel centralized, reliable and upgradable in-vehicle electronic control architecture (ECA).

Paradigm shift to a centralized, upgradable, HW/SW co-design driven ECA
Enables smart data flows and ensures safe and cyber-secure operation
Combines a SW-driven top-down approach with a HW-driven bottom-up approach
Creates the foundation for SdVs realizing a service-oriented architecture
Cooperates along the complete CCAM value chain Explores harmonization and standardization activities Pushes international cooperation and builds on results from previous projects
