This coordinated project has as the main goal to define an appropriate testing environment and methodologies, which includes intelligent management of data, and a set of tools, techniques and controls, to aid in the development of highly automated functions in  vehicles.

The project consortium is composed by UPV/EHU (VISENS Group and GDED Group), Tecnalia, MU, AIC, DEIT, Ikerlan, CAM, VICOMTECH.

In the consortium, VISENS participates in work package 3: Research and develoment of highly automated sensors and functions, with the aim of developing approaches in two areas of the Decision and Control subsystem:

-Trajectory control of vehicles based on MPC that include both safety and comfort.

-Cooperative and Share control.

The development of these areas has been carried out in collaboration with Tecnalia R&I.

Amongst the achievements of this project, we can highlight the following:

-A novel MPC-based longitudinal control which includes adaptive weighting strategies to emphasize safety or confort while driving.

-A novel MPC-based lateral control which includes comfort considerations using lateral acceleration as key variable.

-A novel model-blending approach which combines the benefits from dynamic and kinematic vehicle models in MPC formulations.
