Semantic 5G Vehicle Communication for Safe Cooperative Autonomous Driving

公路旅行仍然是人们经常从事的最危险的活动之一。全球每年有100多万人因交通事故在道路上丧生。在自动驾驶汽车和车对一切（V2X）通信的支持下，协作式自动驾驶（CAD）是减少道路死亡人数最有前途的驾驶应用之一。通过共享感知数据和驾驶意图，CAD可以更早、更全面地感知驾驶环境和危险，协同进行轨迹规划和机动，实现安全、高效的驾驶。虽然CAD在提高安全性方面具有巨大潜力，但其超高可靠性和高数据速率要求对分布式和自组织环境下的5G V2X网络提出了严峻挑战。在本项目中，SECOM提出了具有高效架构和使能方案的原始面向应用的语义5G V2X来应对挑战。它可以使用语义上下文和跨层设计将应用程序相关的、有意义的和有效表示的数据传输到预期的接收者。可以显著提高5G V2X通信效率，提高CAD驾驶安全性。SECOM具有创新性，将依靠主持人和研究员在5G V2X、语义分割和传感、自动驾驶和系统优化等领域的互补和多学科专业知识来应对关键挑战。该研究员将接受东道国和有关伙伴在多学科技术领域和可转让技能方面的密集训练。通过前沿研究，该项目将为CAD提供原创的语义5G V2X方案和可靠的解决方案，实现科学突破，改善道路安全，提升研究员的职业前景，加强知识转移，提升欧盟的研究和创新能力。

Road travel remains one of the most hazardous activities people regularly undertake. More than 1 million people lost their lives on the roads globally due to road accidents every year. Enabled by the autonomous vehicles and vehicle to everything (V2X) communications, cooperative autonomous driving (CAD) is one of the most promising driving applications to reduce road fatalities. Through sharing sensing data and driving intentions, CAD can benefit from earlier and more comprehensive perception of driving environment and hazards, cooperate on trajectory planning and manoeuvre for safe and efficient driving. While CAD holds great potentials for improving safety, its ultra-reliability and high data rate requirements present critical challenges to 5G V2X networks in distributed and ad hoc environments. In this project SECOM original application oriented sematic 5G V2X with efficient architecture and enabling schemes is proposed to tackle the challenges. It enables transmission of application relevant, meaningful and efficiently represented data to the intended receivers with use of semantic context and cross-layer design. It can significantly improve the efficiency of 5G V2X communication and improve the CAD driving safety. SECOM is innovative and will rely on the host and the Fellow's complementary and multi-disciplinary expertise in 5G V2X, semantic segmentation and sensing, autonomous driving and system optimization to tackle the key challenges. The Fellow will receive intensive training in multidisciplinary technical fields and transferable skills from the host and associated partners. Through cutting-edge research, this project will produce original semantic 5G V2X schemes and reliable solutions for CAD, make scientific breakthroughs, improve road safety, enhance the Fellow's career prospects, strengthen knowledge transfer and boost EU research and innovation capacity.
