CTAG participates for the first time in the FISITA World Congress

Our first destination will be, once again, the city of Barcelona, where we will participate in the 39th FISITA World Congress from 12-15 September, the best opportunity to meet with the international community of mobility engineers.

As a technology centre focused on development, research and technological innovation in the automotive sector, which has had a strategic line of Electronics and Intelligent Mobility since 2005, we will be presenting CTAG’s advances in systems for autonomous and connected vehicles, HMI and UX, interior comfort, hardware and software development and the validation of electronic systems at stand number 154.

We will also showcase the competences of each of our laboratories, starting with our latest incorporation: the Electromobility Lab, CTAG’s commitment to promote research and development around new and more sustainable propulsion systems.

And visitors can also ask about our Passive Safety division, where our expert team in simulation and testing of restraint systems works on side, front and rear catapult crash tests, specific benches and many more.

Additional information about the event can be found on the FISITA World Congress website.

CTAG leads the first public demonstration of autonomous driving supported by 5G technology on the border between Spain and Portugal

These tests have been carried out within the framework of the 5G-MOBIX European project, focused on 5G technology for advanced Connected and Automated Mobility. The demonstrations carried out reveal the impact of the solutions tested in various scenarios of a dynamic border route characterized by the low latency and the service continuity enabled by the 5G network.

At the Tui-Valença international bridge, with the 100% electric autonomous shuttle developed by CTAG, two main use cases were presented: speed adaptation, where the autonomous shuttle slows down or stops to avoid a pedestrian thanks to the information provided by the infrastructure and the 5G network; and remote driving in a critical situation, where the vehicle relinquishes control to an operator to drive remotely from the control centre.

CTAG’s tracks also hosted live tests within the framework of the 5G-MOBIX project. Specifically, tests were carried out where an autonomous vehicle, in transit alongside non-connected vehicles, receives, through 5G, information on the position of the vehicles in the main lanes (for example, on a motorway), predicts their trajectories and adapts the speed for a safe merging manoeuvre.

Other tests focused on updating maps in real time: when the autonomous vehicle receives information from the traffic management centre about road works; the vehicle onboard unit receives the information, compares it with its own map, and concludes that its internal map is out of date. At that moment, it prompts the driver to take control and begins to record the information captured by the sensors. Once the vehicle has cleared the road works, it continues its way, in autonomous mode, and the on-board unit sends the data recorded by the sensors, via 5G, to the ITS Centre, which processes everything and generates a new map in HD. This new map is sent by the 5G network to nearby vehicles so that they can clear the road works autonomously.

Nearly one hundred technicians and representatives of the different project partners attended the presentation of the results of the 5G-M project and the live tests.

CTAG shows its latest advances in C-V2X technologies together with the key players in the sector

C-V2X PlugtestsThe demonstration took place during the C-V2X Plugtests™, an event organized by the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) in Germany.

This event, held from March 28th to April 1st, brought together organisations, institutions and key companies in the C-V2X ecosystem for the certification and development of these technologies in the automotive industry.

The C-V2X Plugtests™ also included a workshop to discuss the future of C-V2X systems in the automotive sector, as an introduction to the demonstrations carried out by CTAG, Vodafone, Commsignia and Allbesmart.

CTAG’s demonstration highlighted its latest advances in the field of interoperability with 5G technology, a crucial technology for the development of intelligent transport systems. For the development of the scenarios, CTAG installed its communications unit (HMCU) both in the infrastructure (RSU) and in the vehicle (OBU). The use cases shown included Traffic Jams Warning, Road Works Warning, Hazard On The Road Warning, Time To Green and In-Vehicle Signage.

The objective of these tests has been to assess the level of interoperability and validate the understanding of the standards, concluding with a high success rate shown by a very positive level of interoperability between the many providers.

CTAG performs autonomous driving tests on the International Bridge that connects Spain with Portugal

Autonomous driving tests have begun on the A55 International Bridge that connects Spain with Portugal, which also belongs to the SISCOGA4CCAM corridor. This Spain-Portugal cross-border corridor connects the cities of Vigo and Porto and covers the entire value chain, including car manufacturers, telecommunications companies, public administrations and research institutions.

The tests will be carried out within the framework of the 5GMOBIX project during the months of March, April and May. The main objective of 5G-MOBIX is to lay the foundation for the deployment of 5G CCAM services and applications and to give a big boost in both countries towards the development of opportunities around 5G in the ITS sector. Furthermore, this cross-border corridor will explore the challenges of seamless interoperability between different countries and between different types of operators (public and private). The aim of this project is to develop a global 5G architecture that offers highly robust and low latency connectivity services for safety applications, provide high precision 5G positioning solutions, demonstrate and validate the concepts developed, and quantify the benefits of this technology in terms of driving.

These tests are carried out with the support of the competent traffic management authorities, such as the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), Infraestructuras de Portugal, S.A., the Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes, and the Ministerio de Transportes, Movilidad y Agenda Urbana, who authorize and facilitate the management of road closures necessary for the execution of tests with 5G technology in the safest possible way.

The tests being performed include various autonomous driving use cases in urban and interurban environments. Among these use cases the Overtaking, Lane Merge and HD Maps manoeuvres stand out, carried out with autonomous and connected vehicles capable of integrating 5G technology to increase the response capacity in manoeuvres.
