Test Environments for Connected Mobility
PERTE RENAULT GROUP
The focus of the PERTE RENAULT GROUP project is on the verification and validation processes associated with Connected, Intelligent, Safe, Inclusive, and Collaborative Mobility (MCISIC), extending beyond the individual vehicle. The main objective is to research new technologies and functionalities for electric and connected vehicles, as well as design new test environments, procedures, and protocols that will allow the necessary tests to make this new MCISIC paradigm a reality.
The project partners include: CTAG (Technological R&D&I Center for the Automotive Industry), TRADIA (Cellnex Group subsidiary), IDIADA, EUROCYBCAR, TECNIVIAL, Optare Solutions, Fivecomm, CENTRO ZARAGOZA, Consorcio de la Zona Franca de Barcelona. As consultative contributors: RENAULT ESPAÑA, S.A., Fundación ONCE
Specific Objectives:
- Research technological evolution in the medium- to long-term to identify use cases and future scenarios, especially in the context of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything).
- Design a general technological architecture to recreate realistic test environments in each laboratory.
- Define and develop standardized V2X technology verification procedures, including environment configuration parameters and synchronized data recording.
- Define test methods and protocols to verify and validate MCISIC systems and functionalities, considering all ecosystem elements, from connected vehicles to cloud computing and cybersecurity.
- Specific work in three concrete laboratories (Atlantrack, IDIADA, and Zona Franca Barcelona) to define and specify test environments, adjusting the global technological architecture and generating specific know-how on services within the scope of each laboratory.
- Position the network of laboratories as an international benchmark for verification and validation tests of the different components and the entire value chain of the MCISIC ecosystem.
The tasks in this primary project focus on researching future connectivity technologies and their evolution, aiming to design new services for the development, validation, and verification of MCISIC systems. The goal is to acquire the necessary know-how to offer differential services that will impact the operational processes of the participating entities.
