Time: 11:00 - 12:30
Location / Room: Saal 2

Matthias Traub, BMW, DE

Autonomous systems are an important part of todays and future solutions for the automotive and industrial sector. The research and development activities to enable highly/fully automated driving and industry 4.0 have to deal with a lot of new requirements (e.g. fail operational, cyber security), technologies (connectivity over 5G, neuronal networks, future computing platforms) and topics (data analytics, artificial intelligence). Furthermore processes, methods und tools lag behind and need to speed up to cope with all the consequences in validation and verification. The short paper will give an overview over these challenges and the actual state of research and the development in the field of digital autonomous systems.

Author:
Eric Sax, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, DE
Abstract
Technology is on the rise and enables new functions in modern cars. Automated vehicles, connected functions and alternative drives open new levels of safety, comfort and business models. But the processes, methods und tools lack behind and need to speed up to cope with all the consequences in validation and verification.

Author:
Hans-Jörg Vögel, BMW Group, DE
Abstract
Upcoming architectures for vehicular electrics, electronics, communication and software will face - among others - technological challenges driven by strong strategic trends. Those trends - Automated Driving, Artificial Intelligence, Drivetrain Electrification and Connected Systems and Services - are driving increasing system complexity, demanding formal verifiability and semantically rich system integration; and they are driving innovation, requiring new technologies,  subsystems and components to be integrated as well as new novel approaches in system integration and operation. Automation, in particular, not only introduces a plethora of additional sensors, compute-heavy algorithms, and the corresponding load on the vehicle's physical network, but also requires formalized functional safety engineering to a much greater extent than previous vehicle generations. Moreover, intelligent algorithms not only help automated vehicles drive safely, but artificial intelligence will be making its way into quite every aspect of functional vehicle design with the advent of intelligent personal assistants, affective multi-modal natural user interaction, situational awareness and augmented reality. The vehicle's self-awareness required is further driving architectural design challenges. Introduction of electrical drivetrains while maintaining or gradually phasing out conventional combustion engines from product line architectures is on the one side of the electrical power coin. On the other side, compute hungry algorithms are also raising questions of power consumption and power dissipation. Besides, next-generation wireless communication with antenna array placement requirements, as well as questions of information security and privacy are among technological drivers dominating automotive discussions. They are part of the foundation to deliver services and help organize people's mobile lives.

Author:
Thilo Streichert, Festo AG & Co. KG, DE
Abstract
Products from Festo are becoming increasingly intelligent and incorporate more and more software-based applications as well as the ability to integrate embedded functions. Smart products optimize themselves, adapt to external influences, identify themselves and have a digital map in the form of a product key. Integrated sensor technology ensures that processes are transparent and self-diagnosing, thus enabling preventive maintenance. Universal standards and interfaces such as TSN and OPC UA fulfil the requirements for smart products suitable for plug&produce applications and Industry 4.0. In this contribution, the transformation from mechanical actuators to software-defined motion is presented. We will show how these automation components will be integrated in a networked machine cell and result in a higher overall equipment efficiency.
12:1010.1.45G CHALLENGES FOR CONNECTED, COOPERATIVE AND AUTOMATED TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
Author:
Jérôme Härri, Eurecom - Communication systems, FR
Abstract
The Wifi-based V2X Communication technology ITS-G5 (a.k.a DSRC in the US) is the currently only market-ready solution to provide safety-critical V2X communications for future C-ITS applications, such as road hazard warning, lane-change warning or intersection-collision warning. Yet, future Connected Cooperative Automated Transport Systems (CATS) are expected to require ultra-reliable and low latency connectivity that neither the current WiFi technology nor even the new Cellular V2X technology can provide. This talk will first provide a rapid overview of the benefit of these future CATS  as well as their expected communication requirements , then briefly review the state and capabilities of the current Wifi and Cellular V2X technologies, and finally describe the 5G challenges and roadmap  to meet the communication, networking and services required by these future Connected Cooperative Automated Transport Systems.
