In the first year, the overall objectives of ENABLE-S3 were the specification of the use cases as well as the derivation of requirements for a more efficient testing of ACPS (WP1) and the specification of the planned demonstrators (WP4). Based on that, the requirements and specifications of the required technology bricks have been defined (WP3).
As a first step, core requirements relevant across all domains were specified and consolidated. In a second step, these core requirements were refined in technical requirements, which were assigned to a dedicated work package.
In order to facilitate the coordination of a project of this size, a technical management process was established based on the experiences and lessons learned from previous projects. A central part of this process was the generic test architecture, which was developed within the project and describes the core building blocks of a test system together with the respective interfaces. The architecture was presented at relevant conferences and has gained interest by various external companies.
In second year, the focus was put on the development of technology bricks. Based on the feedback of the first iteration, new requirements and technology bricks were refined and then integrated in the demonstrators and evaluated. Additionally, input to standardization and interface specification working groups was provided. Moreover, the experience exchange among use cases and domains was well established, discussing topics such as scenario descriptions, sensor model architectures, etc.
In the third and final year, the demonstrators’ development was completed by additional and extended technology bricks based on phase 2 results. Improvements of tools, technology bricks and methods were done according to the feedback of the second demonstrator iteration phase. This updated bricks were integrated into the final set of demonstrators in the project’s use cases. Every use case defined one or more application steps, describing the combined use of the technology bricks in the demonstrators to achieve the use case’s goal. The application steps are described in the booklet “Demonstrator Overview – Final Results”, available for download on the project homepage:
