Technology

ROADVIEW consists of various perception and decision-making modules to achieve a
Technology Readiness Level 7There are nine TRLs, from 1, “basic principles observed”, to 9, “actual system proven in an operational environment”. Within Horizon Europe projects, TRL 7 is defined as “system prototype demonstration in an operational environment”.
automated driving stack capable of running under extreme weather conditions.

Perception systems

ROADVIEW will deliver more powerful and reliable in-vehicle perception systems, with improved resilience and accuracy under harsh weather conditions.

  • Improved sensor and noise models
  • Using noise filtering to improve detection of objects and vulnerable road users
  • Enhanced sensing by using additional sensors, such as thermal camera and imaging RADAR
  • Using adaptive sensor fusion and collaborative infrastructure-based perception for improving object and drivable area (free space) detection
  • Improved localisation and use of HD map technology

Testing and validation

ROADVIEW will develop novel noise models and integrate them into the different test systems. For their operation, we will achieve modularity in an X-in-the-loop test environment in which different sensor models can be integrated to generate synthetic sensor data and test sensor hardware. Furthermore, standard interfaces (e.g., OSI) will enable a gradual migration from sensor to vehicle-in-the-loop testing without any modification of the system-under-test.
