Important building blocks for the in-vehicle control architecture include sensors and sensor data fusion for environment perception with AI “at the edge”, using on-board high-performance computers and generic hard- and software including cyber secure components.

At the same time, the new control architecture and its context aware building blocks are expected to enable the following:

• reliable, low-latency and high-bandwidth data communication for automated driving systems control to safeguard against cyber-attacks, malfunctions and malicious interactions.
• systemic functionality gains in upgradability, efficiency, modularity, compatibility, scalability, fail-operation, reliability and redundancy.
• definition of safety and security targets, open-source standard layouts and harmonised validation methods.
• easier development and integration of connected and automated driving functions.

In order to achieve the expected outcomes, international cooperation is encouraged, in particular with Japan and the United States but also with other relevant strategic partners in third countries.

This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership on ‘Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility’ (CCAM). With a focus on CCAM, it aims to exploit synergies with the cross-domain system integration actions related to the open European software-defined vehicle platform under the KDT Joint Undertaking. As such, projects resulting from this topic will be expected to report on results to the European Partnership ‘Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility’ (CCAM) in support of the monitoring of its KPIs and, among other, to contribute to the project ecosystem of the CSA funded by the KDT Call 2023 on the “Coordination of the European software-defined vehicle platform”.
