DRIVE C2X
Defi: Driving implementation of car 2 x communication technology
Others partners: 31 partners from automotive industry, electronic and supplier industry, software development, traffic engineering, research institutes and road operators.
See also: http://www.drive-c2x.eu/project
Abstract: With 31 partners, 15 support partners and 18.8 million Euro budget, DRIVE C2X will lay the foundation for rolling out cooperative systems in Europe. Hence, lead to a safer, more economical and more ecological driving.
ITSSV6
Others partners: Universidad de Murcia, Institut Telecom, lesswire, SZTAKI, IPTE and BlueTechnix.
See also: http://itssv6.inria.fr/
Abstract: ITSSv6 builds on the base of existing standards from ETSI, ISO and IETF and IPv6 software available from CVIS and GeoNet projects. Its main objectif is to deliver an optimized IPv6.
SANDRA
Title: Seamless Aeronautical Networking through integration of Data links, Radios and Antennas.
See also: http://www.sandra-project.eu/2012/
Abstract: The SANDRA concept consists of the integration of complex and disparate communication media into a lean and coherent architecture for aeronautical networking.
PICAV
Title: Personal Intelligent City Accessible Vehicle System (PICAV)
Others partners:University College London (UK), Universite di Pisa (Italy), TCB (Portugal), ZTS (Slovakia), Mazel (Spain)
See also: http://www.dimec.unige.it/pmar/picav/
Abstract: The proposal presents a new mobility concept for passengers ensuring accessibility for all in urban pedestrian environments. The concept addresses a new Personal Intelligent City Accessible Vehicle (PICAV) and a new transport system that integrates a fleet of PICAV units.
CATS
Others partners: CTL (I), EPFL (CH), TECHNION (IL), GEA (CH), ERT (F), and the cities of Formello (I), Strasbourg (F), Ploiesti (R)
See also: http://www.cats-project.org
Abstract: CATS' aim is the full development and experimentation of a new urban transport service based on a new generation of vehicle. Its major innovation is the utilisation of a single type of vehicle for two different uses: individual use or semi collective transport. This new transport service is aimed at filling the gap between public mass transport and private individual vehicles.
FURBOT
Title:Architectures of Light Duty Vehicles for urban freight transport
Others partners: Bremach (Italy), ZTS (Slovakia), Universite di Pisa (Italy), Persico (Italy), Mazel (Spain), TCB (Portugal)
See also: http://www.furbot.eu/
Abstract: The project proposes novel concept architectures of light-duty, full-electrical vehicles for efficient sustainable urban freight transport and will develop FURBOT, a vehicle prototype, to factually demonstrate the performance expected.
DESERVE
Others partners: CRF (I), CONTINENTAL (F), FICOSA (I), Inria (F), TRW (GB), AVL (A), BOSCH (D), DAIMLER (D), VOLVO (S),...(26 partners)
See also: http://www.artemis-ia.eu/project/index/view/?project=38
Abstract: To manage the expected increase of function complexity together with the required reduction of costs (fixed and variable) DESERVE will design and build an ARTEMIS Tool Platform based on the standardization of the interfaces, software (SW) reuse, development of common non-competitive SW modules, and easy and safety-compliant integration of standardized hardware (HW) or SW from different suppliers. With innovative design space exploration (DSE) methods system design costs can be reduced by more than 15%. Hence, DESERVE will build an innovation ecosystem for European leadership in ADAS embedded systems, based on the automotive R&D actors, with possible applications in other industrial domains.
CITYMOBIL-2
Others partners: Inria (F), DLR (D), GEA Chanard (CH), POLIS (B), ERT (B), EPFL (CH),...(45 partners!)
Abstract: The CityMobil2 goal is to address and to remove three barriers to the deployment of automated road vehicles: the implementation framework, the legal framework and the unknown wider economic effect. CityMobil2 features 12 cities which will revise their mobility plans and adopt wherever they will prove effective automated transport systems. Then CityMobil2 will select the best 5 cases (among the 12 cities) to organize demonstrators. The project will procure two sets of automated vehicles and deliver them to the five most motivated cities for a 6 to 8 months demonstration in each city. CityMobil2 will establish a workgroup that will deliver a proposal for a European Directive to set a common legal framework to certify automated transport systems.
