“TECNALIA is developing autonomous vehicle technology and extending the capabilities of Operational Design Domains (ODDs) for automated driving systems”
TECNALIA participates in the iEXODDUS project to promote innovation in CCAM technologies
TECNALIA joins the iEXODDUS project (Infrastructure for the Extension of ODDs – applied in connected and aUtomated driving and Standardization procedures), with the aim of improving and extending Operational Design Domains (ODDs) in automated driving systems. This project will enable autonomous vehicles to operate safely in more complex scenarios, such as unmarked roads, construction areas and adverse weather conditions.
The project involves 14 entities from 6 European countries, including ViF, AVL, CANON,RWTH Aachen, THI and FORD. It has a duration of 36 months.
Automated and connected mobility
TECNALIA’s Construction Labs area will play a key role in the evaluation and adaptation of infrastructure to guarantee the continuity and reliability of ODDs in various automated driving scenarios. Its work will focus on the analysis of built environment conditions and the integration of advanced sensing technology to improve the perception and decision making of automated vehicles.
One of the key aspects of the initiative is the improvement of sensor technologies and sensing capabilities through data fusion methods, enabling more accurate detection of environmental conditions and road infrastructure. This will help to reduce human intervention and increase the autonomy of CCAM systems. TECNALIA will also take part in the development and validation of these technologies through tests in real-world environments, such as the Bizkaia Connected Corridor (BCC), one of the demonstrators selected to assess the implementation of the extended ODDs.
Through iEXODDUS, TECNALIA reinforces its commitment to automated and connected mobility, by promoting innovative solutions that facilitate the integration of autonomous vehicles in different urban and interurban scenarios. Collaboration with European partners will advance legal harmonisation and the formulation of strategic recommendations for large-scale deployment of these technologies.
