Automated\ndriving functions are essential for efficient electric driving. The lack of\ntransparent communication structures and uniform information quality has made\nit difficult to integrate automated (electric) driving across manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nintegrated cooperation platform for automated electric vehicles iKoPA combines\ntechnologies in an innovative way. This is achieved by means of a multiple\ncommunication approach supporting Car-to-X communication, Digital Audio\nBroadcast (DAB) and mobile radio as well as the integration of driver\nassistance system architectures to support highly and fully automated driving\nmaneuvers. The electronic systems of the electric vehicles can make their data\navailable to service providers in a secure manner and in real time via the\nextended Car2X Systems Network. By connecting the traffic infrastructure, e.g.\ntraffic lights and charging stations with an innovative upgrade kit, new and\noptimized driving, parking and charging functions with a high to full degree of\nautomation are made possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iKoPA\ndevelops the basis for a system which, as an open integration platform,\ncombines future services in the field of intelligent traffic and automated\ndriving in an innovative, future-proof and comprehensive way. The introduction\nof electric mobility applications is accelerated by increasing the additional\nbenefits and serves as the basis for a vision of the automated and electric\nmobility of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motivation and objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHighly\nautomated driving functions can enable more efficient electric driving and\nincrease the safety of vehicle passengers. However, there are still inhibition\nthresholds for automated functions in electric vehicles that lead to market\nbarriers. In contrast to „classic“ mobility with combustion engines,\nelectric mobility addresses a much broader environment. The appropriate\ninterplay of intelligent traffic systems in the infrastructure (smart traffic),\nthe intelligent and automated systems of an e-vehicle (smart eCar) and the\nenergy infrastructure (smart grid) therefore plays a key role. iKoPA considers\nthe electric vehicle in this context.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The systems\navailable on the market to date do not follow a comprehensive and consistent\napproach. The fields of electric mobility and highly automated driving\ncurrently offer neither transparent communication structures nor uniform\ninformation quality. Functions cannot be transferred from one manufacturer to\nanother and technologies are not coordinated with one another. Both, the\nintegration of third-party service providers (such as car park operators) and\ninfrastructure facilities (such as traffic lights, shop infrastructure …),\nare only possible in isolated cases and through proprietary approaches. The\nefficient use of broadcast-based systems for the dissemination of information\nin the field of electric mobility has not yet been considered at all. The\nmeaningful integration of manufacturer-independent automatic functions for\nefficient electric driving is thus made more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of\nthis project is to connect different infrastructure systems with each other. A\nmultiple communication approach with the communication standards ETSI ITS-G5\n(IEEE 802.11p), DAB TPEG and mobile radio will form the basis for this. These\nstandards do not completely cover the requirements of electric mobility requirements\nso far, so that new requirements have to be identified and introduced into the\nfurther development of the standards at TISA, ETSI, CEN and ISO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procedure – research needs and innovative\napproaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\niKoPA\nstrives to dissolve the existing proprietary structures and to harmonize the\nvarious technologies. Uniform access points for service providers and access\nnetworks are specified. The access points are connected securely and without\noperators. With regard to the global objective of achieving efficient, safe and\nhighly automated electric driving, the communication, service and organization\narchitecture is to be adapted and expanded for use in the electric mobility\nenvironment based on the findings from CONVERGE. iKoPA pursues an innovative multiple\ncommunication approach with simultaneous support of car-to-x communication, DAB\nTPEG and mobile radio as well as the integration of driver assistance system\narchitectures to support highly automated driving maneuvers. For this it is\nnecessary that already existing charging stations in the field can be\ncost-effectively connected to the Car2X Systems Network and communicate with\nthe vehicles by means of upgrade kits to be developed in iKoPA. The electronic\nsystems of the electric vehicles should provide the necessary information in\nreal time and thus become mobile sensors in the traffic network. This not only\nestablishes automated energy and range management across charging stations, but\nalso enables driving, parking and charging functions with a high to full degree\nof automation.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same\ntime, the expansion of the Car2X Systems Network enables new mobile services\nthrough the dynamic integration of service providers. Technical measures are\nsecured by a legal framework and market-driven implementation. An innovative\nexample of a new type of mobile service is the highly automated drive of an\nelectric vehicle to an inductive charging station using local camera-based\nsensors. Another example is the support of highly automated driving through the\nprovision of infrastructure-based data (e.g. traffic light systems) for\nenergy-efficient driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience\nfrom the past, e.g. from projects such as CONVERGE, has shown that special\nmarkets require adapted technologies and that technologies can influence\nmarkets. Central, platform-related approaches are not viable on the market over\na longer period of time. The use of adapted technology-based approaches can\nhelp to dismantle market barriers. Non-market-oriented technologies, on the\nother hand, create market barriers. This results in both a difficult\nimplementation of driving, parking and charging functions with a high to full\ndegree of automation as well as a more difficult linking of automation with\nenergy and range management. While several vehicle manufacturers have shown\nprototypes for automated driving in closed multi-story car parks (partly with\ninternal localization, partly with external infrastructure-bound solutions),\nthere are no marketable approaches to standardization in this area. Ultimately,\nthere is a threat of monopolization of proprietary segment solutions, important\nsocio-economic objectives are not implemented and innovation hurdles arise for\nelectric mobility that counteract an increase in the incentive effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One success\nmodel for markets so far has been the principles of the internet. It is based\non institutional and technical role models. In iKoPA, the electric mobility\nmarket is systematically examined for institutional and technical roles.\nInstitutional roles are mapped on the real market by actors (companies take\nover the task); the results from the CONVERGE project are used as a guideline.\nThe investigation includes the service level, the access level (multiple\ncommunication approach mobile radio, Car-to-X, DAB, and RFID) and the mobile\nnodes (multimodal vehicle, smartphone …).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The method\nchosen by the consortium offers a new scientific approach for technology\nprojects, as the selected technologies are directly reflected with the market\nand the relevant stakeholders are part of the iKoPA consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nconsideration of all elements in an overall system is open with regard to the\nquestion of how a suitable interaction of possible communication technologies\n(Car-to-X communication, TPEG, mobile Internet etc.) can be achieved suitably\nfor an electromobile vehicle and its organizational and operational context.\niKoPA takes up this question. The market success of new technologies is favored\nby uniform standards, therefore corresponding recommendations for action for\nstandards are derived in order to reflect a broad acceptance in the electric mobility\nlandscape. iKoPA will contribute the results to the appropriate committees of\nETSI ITS and TISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
