French autonomous vehicle plan : a reference in Europe ?

CESA 3.0 congress will be the opportunity for all the foreign visitors to discover the french autonomous vehicle plan. It's one of the 34 national plans defined by the governement, covering several aspects of the industry (aeronautics, factory of the future, energy storage...) with the aim to conquer new market shares on the international market and to create new jobs.

The autonomous vehicle is one of the top priorities.

The plan is coordinated by Renault, with Carlos Ghosn as a project leader.



At CESA 3.0, you will hear from Jean-François Sencerin, Deputy VP, Research, Engineering Innovation. As a delegate* of Renault-Nissan CEO, he will explain how the french OEMs work together, with the suppliers and the research community, in order to prepare affordable autonomous vehicles for 2020.

This initiative relies on three pillars : testing, artificial intelligence and safety management in complex systems.

The car is mainly concerned by the plan, with a research focused on sensors, digital maps, software and the human machine interface, including legal aspects, use cases and testing. But, the plan also covers other vehicles, such as industrial vehicles and public transportation. This is why it is so unique in Europe.

Mr Sencerin will present the roadmap during the panel session "new usage of cars with automation".

*He is currently in charge to manage "vehicle intelligence" department and "New Face of Industry Plan about Autonomous Driving" operationally

CESA speaker Top expert from BMW, Ottmar Sirch will make a presentation on 48 volt in Paris, during CESA 2012. He's focusing on dual voltage as the responsible for the Predevelopment of Vehicle Electrical Power Supply Systems. In Munich, the predevelopment projects cover all subjects of electrical power supply in vehicles with combustion engines as well as Hybrid and Electric vehicles. Mr Sirch came to SIA office in Suresnes, near Paris to share his vision for 48 v, a few days ago.

SASHA reduces cost of development of safety critical systems

Image
Last week, an important research project on functional safety just ended. Called SASHA (for Safety check of Automotive Software & Hardware Architecture), this two-year project driven by 6 partners was established to better understand the new standard for functional safety, ISO26262. This standard was applied to a real case of the development of an E-Gas system in order to create a tool for an optimized development process. It also included the modeling of a novel 32bit-microcontroller (ASIL C/D compatible) in TLM (Transaction Level Model). Such modeling allows to make software for a new microcontroller before its final hardware is available and to check details of the interior behavior of the device without opening it. Partners of the project were: - STMicroelectronics, Research partner and Coordinator, - Renault, Delphi, Knowledge Inside, Université de Compiegne and ESG France, Partners. The project was initiated inside Systematic and Moveo clusters and was funded by
