SCOPE

Bring together, adapt and improve technological advances from different industries (telecom, automotive, IT)

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)

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.) Integrate major wireless technology (cellular [LTE/5G], ITS-G5) under a flexible “sliced” architecture to adopt a hybrid communication approach
