2. Use IoT to move Automated Driving towards a new dimension
concept
Use IoT to move Automated Driving towards a new dimension
Utilize devices not connected to vehicles but connected to Internet – to collect information about the driving environment:
Pedestrian – Cyclist – e.g. over their smart phones
Traffic lights already connected to traffic management systems
Vehicle connected to the internet
Use IoT to manage these “Sensor” devices
Publish a “virtual representation” of the sensors enhanced with data analytics
Standardised data modelling and platform openness
Enhance the driving environment perception with these IoT sensor data and ensure redundancy of the obstacle detection

4. IoT benefits for Automated driving
Use existing sensor devices connected to the internet (camera, intelligent traffic light, Smart phones, environment sensing devices …)
Sensor redundancy: pedestrian detected by IoT device and in-vehicle sensors
IoT platform federation and native wireless security (e.g. Cellular) provide the required basis to support sharing data among the relevant stakeholders
Create new services and business models over IoT/Cloud platform e.g. Mobility as a Service allowing 3rd party service providers
IoT Cloud platform to provide “augmented reality” information to vehicles: e.g. traffic jam, obstacles …

6. Areas of cooperation
Evaluation – common KPIs for Automated Driving (safety – accuracy – acceptance)
Ontology
Common glossary - Harmonisation of automated driving scenarios definitions and requirements
Standardised representation for the whole scope of data allowing more crowdsourcing
Data sharing business models
Fair win/win models for increasing scope and volume of accessible data – I share more to I get more data
Develop a trustable data sharing framework with robust Cyber-security and trustable Data privacy policy
AUTOPILOT IoT platforms
Can be implemented on other projects’ pilot site thanks to the use of open architectures and components
AUTOPILOT strengths for detecting vulnerable road users

7. Project information
5 Large Scale Pilots on IoT are funded by the European Commission (100 m€)
AUTOPILOT = Pilot about Connected and Automated Driving
3 Years Innovation Action: 01/01/2017 – 31/12/2019
44 beneficiaries – coordinator: ERTICO
Budget: 25 m€ - EU contribution: 20 m€
DG CNECT unit E.4 – IoT / E.1 – Future connectivity - H.2 Smart Mobility & living - A.1 Robotics & Artificial Intelligence
The 5 Large scale pilots are cross coordinated and supported by 2 CSA:
CREATE-IoT (create-iot.eu)
U4IoT (
This project has received funding from the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No
