Description

The 13th Workshop and Industry Panel “Cooperative and Automated Driving” will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC) on September 24-27, 2024 in Edmonton, Canada. Recent developments in telecommunications, sensor, information processing and control technologies have enabled substantial progress in the domain of ITS. C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) is in a very early stage of deployment, as it is technologically achievable, but the deployment requires cooperation of multiple stakeholders. Automated driving is on the horizon, and will still need substantial and longer-term development and testing to make even the high automation levels a reality in complex situations, such as in urban environments, and in a transit period of only partial market penetration. Cooperative and automated transport are certainly complementary. They are expected to bring substantial benefits in terms of safety, comfort and (traffic and fuel) efficiency. Many challenges exist in this important domain.

The one-day in-person event aims to further discuss cooperative and autonomous technologies for cooperative and automated driving. Similar to the past, the Workshop also features an Industry Panel with experts from e.g. OEMs, Suppliers, Telecom and ICT, which will again foster the interactive exchange of academia and industry.

Topics of interest

The technical areas to be discussed include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Connected and Automated Vehicles
  • V2X communication technologies
  • C-ITS deployment
  • Standardization
  • 5G/6G research and testing
  • C-ITS Architecture
  • Impacts evaluation of cooperative and automated transport
