ICT Infrastructure for Connected and Automated Road Transport A Connected Future for Automated Driving ICT4CART Overview Presentation ICT4CART consortium Athens, June 2019

General Facts

SCOPE Design, implement & validate, in real-life conditions, a versatile ICT infrastructure for automation to enable the transition towards higher levels of automation (up to L4) Bring together, adapt and improve technological advances from different industries (telecom, automotive, IT) Integrate major wireless technology (cellular [LTE/5G], ITS-G5) under a flexible “sliced” architecture to adopt a hybrid communication approach Increase synergies towards building on existing initiatives & projects through the establishment of strong links (e.g. EATA, L3pilot, C-ROADS, CONCORDA, ICT-18 (5G- MOBIX, 5G-CROCO, 5G-CARMEN) etc.) 3

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Identify the most reliable and effective functional and technical connectivity requirements 1 for higher levels of automation (SAE L3 & L4) Implement and test a standards-based distributed IT environment for data aggregation , to 2 collect and manage all data regarding driver, vehicle, vulnerable road users & infrastructure Implement cyber-security & data privacy protection according to EU policy 3 Improve localisation combining information from different sources & adapting tools and 4 algorithms for data fusion Validate & demonstrate the ICT Infrastructure architecture through use cases & test sites 5 Create new business models and market services for the innovative use of cross-sector data 6 Promote the project developments to standardisation bodies and policy makers especially 7 where public authorities’ intervention is needed 7

PROPOSED SOLUTION – MAIN ITEMS o A flexible network architecture following a hybrid ICT4CART High-Level Architecture communication approach o A distributed IT environment based on cloud computing & MEC technology o Multi Access Edge Computing (MEC) exploitation to address low latency safety services o Cyber-security and data privacy mechanisms in all layers of architecture o CAM & DENM messages for redundant communi- cation o Environment Perception Models for continuous and real-time data processing o Localisation & data fusion algorithms to enhance the precision of localisation 8
