SPACES - Safe Pathway to Autonomous Control Externally Supervised

互联和自动驾驶车辆(CAV)是一条为社会提供安全、可访问、随时可用的零排放交通工具的途径。车辆可以全天候运行，在人们需要时支持负担得起的移动性，同时将操作员驾驶时的碰撞风险降至最低。系统已经被开发和测试，然而，当在公共道路上操作时，目前必须在车辆内配备安全监督员，以防出现任何问题。此外，需要缓解与潜在的不可靠通信或网络安全故障相关的安全担忧，以促进大规模推广。为了充分实现骑兵带来的机遇，我们需要开发和测试适当、安全和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。Spaces项目旨在证明，在没有机载安全监督的情况下跳跃到完全商业服务不是梦想，但现在是可以实现的。Spaces项目将由RDM集团领导，该集团通过其自动车辆部门Aurrigo开发并测试了用于道路操作的自动穿梭和Auto-POD(R)。RDM将与包括华威制造集团、沃达丰、泰利斯、大曼彻斯特运输公司(TfGM)、西米德兰运输公司(TfWM)、索利赫尔大都会市镇委员会、Syselek和国家展览中心在内的主要组织合作。组装的团队将允许空间开发CAV工程和通信方面的技术创新，具有在没有安全监督的情况下运行所需的网络弹性，同时开发可在米德兰未来移动CAM试验台上试验的现实生活中知情的测试案例。我们的项目将在NEC的现场演示中达到高潮，我们的自动驾驶汽车可以在NEC场地内专门建造的试验台现场展示。演示活动将向包括运输运营商、地方和国家政府、车辆制造商和普通公众在内的主要利益攸关方展示，CAV可以安全可靠地运营。我们将寻求广泛传播和传播我们的研究成果，以概述CAV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了解。SPACES将开发、验证和验证CAV技术、通信系统和网络安全要求，加强CAV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，以实现在现场环境中运行时消除对车载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.
