Development of an Intelligent Perception System for Autonomous Cars
Summary
The PRYSTINE project aims to strengthen and extend the research of European industry and universities in smart mobility, electronic components, and cyber-physical systems. File Number: PRYSTINE has received funding within the Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership Joint Undertaking (ECSEL JU) in collaboration with the European Union’s H2020 Framework Program and National Authorities, under Grant No. 783190.
Description
Objectives
- Improve the reliability and performance of the components that integrate FUSION, while reducing costs and energy consumption.
- Increase the reliability of the embedded control in FUSION, based on the integration of signal processing and Artificial Intelligence methods, by combining high-performance processors with dedicated controllers and utilizing innovative hardware/software/firmware partitioning methods.
- Enhance and adapt the Electrical/Electronic architecture of vehicles to facilitate the integration of FUSION, enabling the end user to benefit from the new components.
- Develop fault-tolerant systems for urban and rural environments based on FUSION, focusing on sensor fusion at various levels of abstraction and utilizing both Artificial Intelligence methods and conventional algorithms running on smart embedded platforms.
The project will carry out 22 demonstrators to validate and showcase the advantages of the most important technologies developed throughout the project. ITI is involved in 4 of these demonstrators, including 2 industrial demonstrators in a FORD commercial electric truck and a Maserati passenger car, where autonomous driving tests will be conducted in real-world environments and conditions.
