Convocatoria “Automated Road Transport” 2016 Publicada el 15 de octubre de 2015, cierran en las fechas indicadas en cada caso. Presupuesto total de la convocatoria: 64M€. Horizonte 2020 es el programa de Investigación y Desarrollo más grande de la Unión Europea, contando con un presupuesto cercano a los 80.000 millones de €, repartidos entre 2014 y 2020. Sus tres pilares son la Ciencia excelente, el Liderazgo industrial y los Retos sociales.

Possible additional functions towards level 4 (High Automation) can also be tested, although the focus of the FOT should be on technologies for automation level 3. This needs the active involvement of all stakeholders such as car manufacturers, automotive suppliers, road users, insurance companies, road and traffic authorities, the EU Member States, etc., because the responsibility and liability of all stakeholders relating to the testing, demonstrating and use of automated cars requires clarification before market introduction. The FOTs should take place in at least 3 different countries. Automation pilots for all driving situations (i.e. from highway to urban) are within scope. If proposals include FOTs on highways, testing across borders should be considered. Consortia should commit to make the data collected during the pilots available through common data sharing frameworks in order to foster further research. ▲ Tipo de acción: IA ▲ Deadline: 20 de enero de 2016 a las 17:00 (primera fase) 29 de septiembre de 2016 a las 17:00 (segunda fase) http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/2058art-02-2016.html ART-04-2016: Safety and end-user acceptance aspects of road automation in the transition period Proposals for research and innovation activities should address one or several of the following domains: Analyse user requirements, expectations and concerns (e.g. interaction with the system, 1 trust, liability, privacy concerns, security, minimum safety and performance standards, etc.) related to the use of automated driving systems Design safe human-machine interface and driver monitoring strategies to maximise the intuitiveness and situation awareness; enable safe and appropriate driver take over strategies; monitor drivers’ behaviour, predict drivers’ actions, and increase drivers’ acceptance Safety of automated driving in mixed traffic situations. Develop fail-safe/fault tolerant systems and solutions for highly reliable and safe operations of automated vehicles in any kind of complex and mixed traffic situations in the transition period, also including safe interactions with all different road users and difficult weather conditions ▲ Tipo de acción: RIA ▲ Deadline: 20 de enero de 2016 a las 17:00 (primera fase) 29 de septiembre de 2016 a las 17:00 (segunda fase) http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/2057art-04-2016.html ART-05-2016: Road infrastructure to support the transition to automation and the coexistence of conventional and automated vehicles on the same network Proposals should address several of the following aspects: New methods of traffic flow modelling depending from the introduction of automated vehicles Design, upgrading and adaptation of “hybrid” infrastructure (able to take into account the coexistence of fully or partially automated (connected or autonomous) and conventional vehicles) Required forms of visual and electronic signalling and optical guidance, ensuring readability by both automated and conventional vehicles, and enabling automated driving in also adverse road weather conditions Best ways to enlarge the electronic road horizon for automated vehicle ensuring timely reaction to hazards ahead via real-time warnings and information, traffic management plans, up-to-date digital maps, etc New safety performance criteria for road infrastructure, with the goal to set the basis for a timely deployment of automation-appropriate infrastructure network ▲ Tipo de acción: RIA ▲ Deadline: 20 de enero de 2016 a las 17:00 (primera fase) 29 de septiembre de 2016 a las 17:00 (segunda fase). http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/2059art-05-2016.html ART-06-2016: Coordination of activities in support of road automation Proposals should address one or two of the following areas: Area 1: Monitor the status of progress, coordinate and create a knowledge base on all ongoing research and demonstration activities in Europe and in the rest of the world in the area of 2 road vehicle automation Identify and gather a knowledge base on different automated driving scenarios in European Countries and worldwide, taking into account the available transportation system and infrastructure in these countries, including an analysis of the expected user behaviour for different user groups and the impact on the economy Create a forum for National and European stakeholders of road automation to exchange experiences and knowledge on the development and deployment of road automation systems and to discuss future challenges Support cooperation activities in the area of road automation at global level, in particular with the US and Japan Area 2: Establish a platform of data exchange in order to let individual Field Operational Tests of vehicle automation carried out at National and European levels benefit from each other's' learning experiences. A strategy for sharing and exploiting collected data in National, European and international FOTs should be developed. For both areas, in line with the Union's strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation [[COM(2012)497]], international cooperation is encouraged. In particular, proposals should foresee twinning with entities participating in projects funded by US DOT [[United States Department of Transportation.]] to exchange knowledge and experience and exploit synergies. ▲ Deadline: 26 de enero de 2016 a las 17:00. http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/2060art-06-2016.html 3
