Connected Co-operative Automated ICV Roadmap will be built around 3 core themes with an underpinning / enabling theme of Infrastructure and Data: Infrastructure and Data
Work Stream 2 Test & Validation Methodologies There is an opportunity for the UK to take the lead in the test and validation of ADAS and ICV systems ADAS technologies current require 10 4 10 6 km drive cycle to validate as fit for purpose using conventional test based methodologies Clearly this quantity of physical testing is not scalable, time consuming and expensive Opportunity is to develop core competencies and capabilities to mitigate against this technical and commercial risk virtual Design Verification Processes (vdvp) UK to take the lead in the development and application of vdvp in intelligent and connected vehicles as well as more traditional techniques Reduce the dependency on the amount of physical testing and reducing cost, risk and time to market Achieved using verified vdvp techniques including analytical and virtual methods as part of the classical systems development lifecycle V-mode
Work Stream 2 Test & Validation Methodologies Development of tiered methodologies: 1. Analytical Statistical techniques for sensor fusion, algorithm/code review considering Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) and Functional Safety methodologies Forming the foundation to determine the veracity of Model in Loop (MIL) and virtual methodologies Low TRL 1-4 (academia in partnership with industry) 2. Virtual Simulated environments with real world features for Software in loop (SIL), Processor in loop (PIL), Hardware in loop (HIL) and Vehicle in the Loop (VeHIL) validation TRL 4-7 to establish methods, capability and facilities. Creation of large database for real world features co-operatively between supply chain partners
Work Stream 2 Test & Validation Methodologies Development of tiered methodologies: 3. Physical Creation of comprehensive test environment(s) for current and future ADAS and ICV systems TRL 5-9 (industry) Creation of living labs in the real world for large scale trials and demonstrations of ICV to understand the benefits and stimulate market uptake TRL 5-9 (industry and government) 4. Cyber-Physical Establish Automotive Cyber Security capability spanning analytical, penetration testing and solution-eering techniques TRL 2-9 (industry and academia)
Intelligent Mobility recent competition Building on the Introducing driverless cars to UK roads competition this initiative : continues the collaborative Research & Development pathway aims to encourage development of connected and autonomous vehicles focuses on three themes connectivity, autonomy and customer interaction The Connected & Autonomous Vehicles Competition The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is to invest up to 20 million in collaborative R&D projects and feasibility studies Deadline for applications was 30 September 2015.
