Periodic Reporting for period 2 - SHOW (SHared automation Operating models for Worldwide adoption)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2021-07-01 do 2022-12-31
The required physical, digital and communication infrastructure was put in place across the sites. Local system architectures were finalized, while interoperability and cybersecurity solutions were deployed. At the vehicle level, optimal control and handover strategies were implemented, to ensure safe and reliable operation during transitions between automation levels. Communication interfaces between connected and non-connected traffic users were implemented. Finally, all vehicle demonstrators completed final upgrades to allow operation in a safe manner.
Non-technical work was also completed. This includes the finalization of the ethics plan; the optimization of the subjective surveys; and the definition and application of user engagement strategies.
As a result, the technical verification and validation, as well as the pre-demo activities, were concluded for the majority of sites and final public operations were begun.
Preparations for the exploitation of results were advanced. The project Dashboard is publicly available, providing dynamic visualization of pilot sites KPIs. All data streaming, interfacing, and processing systems were defined and all pilot sites are connected.
Evaluation and impact assessment frameworks and tools were finalized and the final experimental plans for all sites were concluded.
Initial results from pre-demo operation have been reported, and three business models were validated. An initial assessment of exploitation and business plans was made, with 46 KERs identified.
The first issue of recommendations for Adapting Regulatory and Operational Strategies for CCAV deployment at Local and Regional Level and of the project Application Guidelines has been released. 3 training courses are under development
Replication activities have been launched, with 8 initial candidates taking part in a matchmaking process with SHOW partners.
Additional service- and simulation-based activities have also been completed. The SHOW marketplace is publicly available, offering operational, energy management and personalization services. The deployment of four Big Data/AI services began in this period. Requirements for the simulation suite were defined, and a second round of pilot-based vehicle and micro/macro traffic simulation studies was completed.
International collaboration activities are on-going with Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, China, US, Australia. AUTOMATE concertation group is established on European level, led by SHOW.
To accompany local site activities and achievements, as well as project-level advances, a wide range of dissemination activities took place.
