Project Partner
74 Partners
Lead: AVL
68 M€ Project Volume
Advancing fail-aware, fail-safe, and fail-operational electronic components, systems,
and architectures for highly and fully automated driving for safer, efficient, affordable,
and user-friendly future mobility
ENABLE-S3 is industry-driven and aspires to substitute today’s cost-intensive verification & validation efforts by more advanced and efficient methods to pave the way for the commercialization of highly automated cyber physical systems (ACPS). Pure simulation cannot cover physics in detail due to its limitations in modelling and computation. Real-world tests are too expensive, too time consuming and potentially dangerous. Thus, ENABLE-S3 aims at developing an innovative solution capable of combining both worlds in an optimized manner.

TrustVehicle aims at advancing L3AD functions in normal operation and in critical situations (active safety) in mixed traffic scenarios and even under harsh environmental conditions.
TrustVehicle follows a user-centric approach and will provide solutions that will significantly increase reliability and trustworthiness of automated vehicles and hence, contribute to end-user acceptance.
INFRAMIX main target is to design, upgrade, adapt and test (in simulation and in real-world) both physical and digital elements of the road infrastructure, to enable the coexistence of automated and conventional vehicles, in specific scenarios, ensuring an uninterrupted, predictable, safe and efficient traffic; the key outcome will be a “hybrid” road infrastructure able to handle the transition period and become the basis for future automated transport systems.
