ECSEL-prosjekt AI4CSM Automotive Intelligence for Connected Shared Mobility

The AI4CSM project develops advanced electronic components and systems (ECS) and architectures for future electric connected autonomous and shared (ECAS) vehicles. This fuels the digital transformation in the automotive sector to support the mobility trends and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable ecosystem. AI4CSM delivers key innovations in technical areas including sensor fusion and perception platforms; efficient propulsion and energy modules; advanced connectivity for cooperative mobility applications; vehicle/edge/cloud computing integration concepts; new digital platforms for efficient and federated computing; and intelligent components based on trustworthy AI techniques and methods. As such, ECAS vehicles enabled by embedded intelligence and functional integration for future mobility, become the pivotal factor for the automotive sector to address the Green Deal principles. The new vehicle architectures are enabled by energy efficient, high-performance processing HW/SW platforms to run trustworthy AI algorithms. This allows to run virtualised safety-critical vehicle applications on different platforms. The HW/SW platforms implement on-board/off-board computation functions with predictable latency, and high bandwidth that provide fail-operational, safe, connected, cooperative services facilitating shared and multimodal mobility.

The AI4CSM project will develop advanced electronic components and systems (ECS) and architectures for future mass-market ECAS vehicles. This fuels the digital transformation in the automotive sector to support the mobility trends and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable green and digital economy. Having assembled some of Europe’s best partners from industry, research and academia, AI4CSM will deliver key innovations in technical areas including: sensor fusion and perception platforms; efficient propulsion and energy modules; advanced connectivity for cooperative mobility applications; vehicle/edge/cloud computing integration concepts; new digital platforms for efficient and federated computing; and intelligent components based on trustworthy AI techniques and methods. ECAS vehicles enabled by embedded intelligence and functional integration for future mobility, becomes the pivotal factor for the automotive sector to address the Green Deal principles. AI4CSM consists of 8 collaborative R&D clusters, gathering 41 partners from 10 countries. AI4CSM will reinforce user acceptance and affordability by convenience and services for the major transition to a diverse mobility. AI4CSM addresses the increasing demand of mobility, supporting future traffic concepts and strengthen the European automotive manufacturing base as a global industry leader.
