Partner description:

WMG is a world leading research and education group, transforming organisations and driving innovation through a unique combination of collaborative research and development, and pioneering education programmes. As an international role model for successful partnerships between academia and the private and public sectors, WMG develops advancements nationally and globally, in applied science, technology and engineering, to deliver real impact to economic growth, society and the environment. WMG’s education programmes focus on lifelong learning of the brightest talent, from the WMG Academies for Young Engineers, degree apprenticeships, undergraduate and postgraduate, through to professional programmes. An academic department of the University of Warwick, and a centre for the HVM Catapult, WMG was founded by the late Professor Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya in 1980 to help reinvigorate UK manufacturing and improve competitiveness through innovation and skills development.

 

Role in the project:

Building on top of the expertise in validation & verification, and the global wide industry collaborative relations, WMG’s key roles within the EEA4CCAM project including: 1) formulating, developing, and executing the validation related WPs and tasks; and 2) leading the communication, dissemination, exploitation, international cooperation and standardisation WP.

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.
