Validation difficulties and testing challenges of connected and automated vehicles Prof. Zsolt SZALAY
Topics of the presentation 1. Why disruptive? 2. The key elements of education 3. Hungary s answers to the challenges
Disruptive changes due to AD Technology change in the automotive industry AD vehicles are no longer separate entities, they are embedded into the traffic and surrounding environment Human driver is getting out of the control loop Appearance of Artificial Intelligence based solutions Conventional versus AD vehicle testing and validation Vehicle dynamics testing in itself is not enough Testing vehicle environment perception capabilities Testing vehicle interaction to other road users, infrastructure Testing of communication technologies
RECAR Education Program REsearch Center for Autonomous Road vehicles Industrial partners (BOSCH, Knorr-Bremse, Continental) Academic partners (BME, ELTE, MTA SZTAKI) Strong government support Higher added value compared to manufacturing Special research funding programs Dedicated BSc/BEng and MSc courses Autonomous Vehicle Control Engineer MSc in English Computer Science for Autonomous Driving MSc in English Vehicle Test Engineer BProf in Hungarian LOGO OF THE PRESENTER IN CENTER

RECAR Research Program Basic and advanced research in artificial intelligence Co-operative control applications to vehicles Redundant technologies (sensors, actuators, energy and communication networks, software) Insurance/reliability: how can reliability be tested and improved? Data acquisition/property rights: how is it possible to make data access and management transparent? Personal data - how can the protection of personal data be guaranteed? Cyber security: how is it possible to avoid misuse of intelligence? Driverless technologies: how can test and approval processes be improved to make autonomous vehicles safe and reliable? Accident investigations with involvement of ADAS and/or automated vehicles
