Research project
AUTOPILOT - AUTOmated driving Progressed by the Internet Of Things
- Start date: 1 January 2017
- End date: 31 December 2019
- Funder: EU Horizon 2020
- Primary investigator: Professor Haibo Chen
The AUTOPILOT project aims to bring together relevant knowledge and technology from the automotive and the Internet-of-things value chains in order to develop IoT-architectures and platforms which will bring automated driving towards a new dimension. While using the IoT potential for automated driving, AUTOPILOT also makes data from autonomous cars available to the Internet-of-Things.
Project objectives include:
- Enhance the driving environment perception with IoT sensors enabling safer highly automated driving
- Foster innovation in automotive, IoT and mobility services
- Use and evaluate advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity technologies
- Involve users, public services, business players to assess the IoT socio-economic benefits
- Contribute to the IoT standardisation and eco-system
