Descrizione del progetto
Un sistema veicolare autonomo potenziato con l’IA per il trasporto intelligente
I sistemi di trasporto intelligenti sono essenziali a livello di reti di trasporto; essi non sono tuttavia in grado di rispondere alle emergenti applicazioni di importanza fondamentale relative all’affidabilità ultra-elevata e alla bassa latenza a causa dei loro ambienti operativi complessi e dinamici. Il progetto ASCENT, finanziato dall’UE, creerà un innovativo sistema veicolare autonomo di edge computing e collegamento in rete potenziato dall’IA per sistemi di trasporto intelligenti affidabili ed efficienti. Il progetto condurrà ricerche e innovazioni pionieristiche su un’architettura di sistema nuova e scalabile. Ciò consentirà di fornire servizi agili ed affidabili nell’ambito dei sistemi di trasporto intelligenti e di istituire un originale quadro di IA distribuito alimentato da metodi di apprendimento profondo. ASCENT svilupperà innovativi strumenti analitici per prevedere con accuratezza lo stato delle reti dinamiche, nonché regimi di gestione delle risorse autonomi e intelligenti a sostegno di servizi di importanza fondamentale.
Obiettivo
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are vital for enhancing road safety, alleviating traffic congestion, and saving energy in transport. However, due to the complex and dynamic operating environments of ITS including fast-moving vehicles, fluctuating vehicular communications, and scarce computing resources, ITS face unprecedented challenges in meeting the stringent service requirements in terms of ultra-high reliability and low-latency, demanded by the emerging mission-critical applications (e.g. autonomous driving and real-time intelligent traffic control).
To address these challenges, ASCENT aims to form an international, multidisciplinary, and inter-sectoral consortium with world-leading experts to create a novel Autonomous Vehicular Edge Computing and Networking system empowered by advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies towards achieving reliable and efficient ITS. Specifically, ASCENT will pioneer research and innovations (R&I) on ground-breaking technologies including: 1) a novel and scalable system architecture that enables agile and reliable ITS service provisioning; 2) an original distributed AI framework fuelled by bespoke federated deep learning methods to offer pervasive intelligence; 3) innovative analytics tools to accurately predict dynamic network status including network traffic and channel quality; 4) autonomous and smart resource management schemes to support mission-critical ITS services.
ASCENT will boost the R&I capability of partners in multiple disciplines and create a long-term cross-discipline and cross-sector knowledge-sharing platform with complementary expertise. The researchers involved will be trained through extensive R&I actions and well-planned networking activities to enrich their skill sets as well as enhance their career perspectives. The outcomes of ASCENT will significantly contribute to enhance the EU’s competitiveness and transforming our transportation systems into safer, smarter, and greener future ITS.
