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.
