SIVERT 2

Purpose and goal:

Wireless technologies in vehicles are becoming increasingly important for safety, traffic efficiency and entertainment functions. It is therefore of the utmost importance to verify these technologies as early as possible in a vehicle development project. In SIVERT 2 the goal is to develop validation methods (simulations and test methods for complete vehicles) for 5G cellular communication and for direct communication between vehicles and infrastructure. Also validation of end-user applications in real field will be investigated.

Expected results and effects:

1) Extended version of the simulation framework from SIVERT (1), with scenarios for vehicle-to-vehicle / infrastructure and cellular (4G and 5G) communication including electromagnetic interference. 2) Test methods for complete vehicles for the communication standards mentioned in 1). 3) Setups for verification of TCU all the way to the cloud for application testing.

4) Promote collaboration and find research synergies between OEMs, universities, institutions and small companies in the field of wireless communication for vehicles. 5) Increase and disseminate knowledge. Approach and implementation:

The work in the project will be led by various senior engineers and researchers and will be carried out in close collaboration between the partners. Each work package has an assigned leader who tracks the detailed work and sets up frequent meetings. In addition, the project manager will continuously monitor the overall progress through frequent reports and meetings.

At least four full-day meetings per year will be planned to give all partners a chance to get insight into and comment on the progress.
