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
