NSERC CREATE for Building Trust in Connected Autonomous Vehicles

这项旨在建立对互联和自动驾驶汽车（CAV）信任的工业流CREATE计划将吸引、留住和培训加拿大的CAV领导者，并解决与CAV相关的技术和社会挑战。CAV已经被设想为提高运输效率、减少事故、提高安全性，并提供巨大的机动性和环境效益。尽管CAV具有潜在的前景，但在其广泛部署于智能交通系统之前，仍存在重大挑战。最近，发生了几起涉及CAV的致命事故。2019年，加拿大交通部指出了“监管、安全、安保、隐私以及CAV政策制定和培训”方面的差距。加拿大工程师协会强调，CAV是一项重要的新兴技术，需要新的技能，必须支持有偿的中学后工程合作安置。该CREATE计划将专门帮助解决这一迫在眉睫的技能短缺问题，通过培训一批高素质的HQP，掌握与CAV相关的必要技术知识，并辅助专业技能，以成功过渡到工作场所，以及通过与行业和政府组织的实习，让学员接触真实的CAV和全天候L5测试轨道。

This Industrial Stream CREATE program for Building Trust in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) will attract, retain, and train Canada's leaders in CAVs, and address the technological and societal challenges associated with CAVs. CAVs have been envisioned to enhance transportation efficiency, reduce accidents, improve safety, and provide great mobility and environmental benefits. Despite the potentially promising vision of CAVs, significant challenges remain to be addressed before their widespread deployment for intelligent transportation systems. Recently, several fatal accidents have occurred involving the CAVs. In 2019, Transport Canada identified gaps in "regulation, safety, security, privacy, and policy development and training in CAVs". Engineers Canada has highlighted CAVs as an important emerging technology requiring new skills and the importance of supporting paid post-secondary engineering co-operative placements. This CREATE program will specifically help address this looming skills shortage by training a cohort of high-calibre HQP with the necessary technical knowledge related to CAVs and auxiliary the professional skills to successfully transition to the workplace, as well as exposing the trainees to real CAVs and all-weather L5 test tracks through internships with industry and government organizations.
