CONTEXT

Autonomous vehicles are mixing with classic vehicles and will for a few years more. During this time, insfrastructure is evolving to be more connected.

The level of autonomy of vehicles is rising to reach levels 3 and 4 ( SAE levels), entailing different levels of involvment for the driver. The role of the driver will evolve during a trip depending on the level of autonomy of the vehicle at a given time.

The set up of this new working environment is taking years : we need to develop the technology, create the necessary infrastructure, adapt laws, etc… We are entering a long transition phase to the Autonomous and Connected vehicle.

ADAVEC project aims to create a solution to meet the challenges of this transition phase :

• Assure working safety of every vehicle during the transition

• Participate in the development of the highly Autonomous & Connected vehicle,

• Contribute to the European objective of making roads safer by 2030.

INNOVATION

The objective of ADAVEC project is to develop a new product for autonomous and connected vehicle.

The main goal is to create a prototype enabling an autonomous vehicle to :

Adapt automatically its autonomy level depending on the driver behaviour (level of attention…) and the outside world (traffic, weather…)

Ensure a safe transfer between the different automation levels

Ensure that the driver has a clear understanding of the automation level and its responsabilities in every case

The solution will be a system embedded in a vehicle able to communicate with its working environment and the cloud.

SIMULATION

The prototype will evolve during the project and simulation will be used in every phase for validation
