SPACES - Safe Pathway to Autonomous Control Externally Supervised

联网和自动驾驶汽车（cav）为社会提供了一条安全、便捷、易得和零排放的交通方式。车辆可以全天候运行，以支持人们在需要时负担得起的移动性，同时最大限度地降低人工驾驶带来的碰撞风险。然而，当在公共道路上行驶时，目前必须有一名安全监督员在场，以防出现问题。此外，与潜在的不可靠通信或网络安全故障相关的安全问题需要得到缓解，以促进大规模推广。为了充分利用自动驾驶汽车带来的机遇，我们需要开发和测试合适的、安全的、具有网络弹性的系统和协议，使其能够在英国公共道路上完全自主运行。space项目旨在证明，在没有船上安全监督的情况下实现全面商业服务不是一个梦想，而是现在可以实现的。space项目将由RDM集团牵头，RDM集团通过其自动驾驶汽车子公司Aurrigo开发并测试了用于道路操作的自动驾驶AUTO-SHUTTLE和AUTO-POD(r)。RDM将与沃里克制造集团、沃达丰、泰雷兹、大曼彻斯特交通局（TfGM）、西米德兰兹交通局（TfWM）、索利哈尔大都会自治市议会、Syselek和国家展览中心等主要组织合作。该小组将允许空间开发CAV工程和通信方面的技术创新，并具有在没有安全监督的情况下运行所需的网络弹性，同时开发可以在米德兰兹未来移动CAM测试平台上进行试验的现实生活中的测试用例。我们的项目将在NEC的现场演示中达到高潮，届时我们的自动驾驶汽车将在NEC场地内专门建造的测试平台上进行展示。示范活动将向包括运输运营商、地方和国家政府、汽车制造商和公众在内的主要利益相关者展示自动驾驶汽车可以安全可靠地运行。我们将寻求广泛传播和交流我们的研究成果，以概述自动驾驶汽车的安全性，并支持社会对这项技术及其潜在用途和积极影响的理解。space将开发、验证和验证自动驾驶汽车技术、通信系统和网络安全要求，加强自动驾驶汽车的安全案例，提供对安全运行所需基础设施的更多了解，并为英国政策提供信息，以实现在实际环境中运行时消除对船上安全监督员的需求的最终目标。

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are a route to safe, accessible, readily available and zero emission transport for society. Vehicles can be operational 24/7 to support affordable mobility as and when people need it, whilst minimising the crash risks brought into driving by human operators. Systems have been developed and trialled, however, when operating on public roads, currently a safety supervisor must be present in the vehicle in case anything goes wrong. Additionally, safety concerns related to potentially unreliable communications or cyber security failures need to be allayed to facilitate a widescale roll out. To fully realise the opportunities that CAVs can bring, we need to develop and test appropriate, safe, and cyber resilient systems and protocols that allow fully autonomous operation on UK public roads. The SPACES project aims to demonstrate that the jump to fully commercial services without onboard safety supervision is not a dream but is achievable now.The SPACES project will be led by RDM Group who, via their autonomous vehicle arm Aurrigo, have developed and tested the autonomous AUTO-SHUTTLE for road operations and the AUTO-POD(r). RDM will work with key organisations including Warwick Manufacturing Group, Vodafone, Thales, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Syselek and the National Exhibition Centre. The assembled group will allow SPACES to develop the technological innovation in CAV engineering and communications with the cyber resilience required to operate without safety supervision, whilst developing real life informed test cases that can be trialled at the Midlands Future Mobility CAM testbed. Our project will culminate in a live demonstration at the NEC, where our autonomous vehicle can be showcased at a specially built test bed site located within the NEC grounds. The demonstration events will show key stakeholders including transport operators, local and national government, vehicle manufacturers and the general public that CAVs can be operated safely and securely. We will seek to widely disseminate and communicate our research outputs to outline CAV safety and support societal understanding of this technology and its potential uses and positive impact.SPACES will develop, verify and validate CAV technology, communications systems and cyber security requirements, strengthen the safety case for CAVs, provide increased understanding of the infrastructure needed for safe operation and inform UK policy, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of removing the need for an on-board safety supervisor whilst operating in a live environment.
