Durante el día de ayer y hoy, 14 y 15 de marzo, CTAG ha tenido el placer de recibir en su sede de O Porriño a todos los socios del proyecto Remote Driver para evaluar los avances llevados a cabo a lo largo de su primera anualidad.

El encuentro ha reunido a los distintos representantes del consorcio del proyecto, cuyos objetivos fundamentales son lograr un vehículo conectado con una conducción remota de vehículos a altas velocidades que tolere altas pérdidas, proporcione baja latencia, saque partido a las capacidades de red 5G y reaccione ante cambios en la calidad de conexión.

Durante estos dos días de reunión, se han podido intercambiar impresiones sobre el progreso alcanzado hasta el momento y explorar posibles estrategias de cara a abordar los próximos pasos en la gestión del proyecto.

Este encuentro permitirá a los socios reafirmar su compromiso en cumplir con sus objetivos, pero también poner en valor los logrados durante todo este primer año de proyecto.

El proyecto REMOTE DRIVER, impulsado y financiado por el Ministerio de Industria y Turismo del Gobierno de España y la Unión Europea, NextGenerationEU, en el marco de Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia, cuenta con un consorcio conformado por múltiples empresas privadas del sector, universidades y el Centro Tecnológico de Automoción de Galicia, CTAG.

    CTAG y ANTOLIN concluyen el desarrollo de las líneas de I+D establecidas en el marco de la unidad mixta de investigación insAI

    Sorry, this entry is only available in European Spanish. For the sake of viewer convenience, the content is shown below in the alternative language. You may click the link to switch the active language.

    La Unidad Mixta de Investigación (UMI) insAI, iniciativa de colaboración entre CTAG y Antolin, llega a su fin tras su lanzamiento en el año 2020. Su principal objetivo ha sido el análisis, definición, diseño y desarrollo de soluciones inteligentes e innovadoras de monitorización de los ocupantes de un vehículo, con el fin de contribuir a garantizar la seguridad y mejorar la experiencia de usuario y el confort.

    Así, las cuatro anualidades de ejecución han posibilitado que las líneas de investigación emprendidas permitiesen desarrollar nuevas soluciones avanzadas en el ámbito de la electrónica, de aplicación en el campo de la seguridad y conducción automatizada, del confort y de la salud.

    Por lo expuesto, la finalización de las actividades de la Unidad Mixta ha permitido un incremento del nivel competitivo de CTAG y Antolin, potenciando la actividad del sector de automoción, como industria clave en las economías regional y nacional.

    La Unidad Mixta de Investigación insAI ha sido subvencionada por la Axencia Galega de Innovación mediante la convocatoria de “Subvencións para a creación e posta en marcha de Unidades Mixtas de Investigación” (DOG Nº 35, de 20 de febrero de 2020), y cofinanciada con cargo al Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (Feder) en el marco del programa operativo Feder Galicia 2014-2020 (código de expediente IN853A-2020/03), contando con el apoyo de la Vicepresidencia Primeira e Consellería de Economía, Industria e Innovación de la Xunta de Galicia.

    CTAG recognised as Technology Center of the Year

    Last week CTAG attended the IV International Congress of Energy Engineering (iENER’23) in Valencia, a national event that brings together multiple actors in fields related to Energy Engineering, such as sustainable mobility, smart cities, energy service companies…

    Over the two days of the event, our Shuttle was offering regular transport services around La Marina de Valencia, allowing everyone who got on board to enjoy a new form of 100% electric, connected and autonomous mobility.

    As part of this pilot, travellers were introduced to the Green Priority use case, a solution that allows the Shuttle to be connected to the traffic lights on its route, so that they change to green when they detect that the Shuttle is near.

    On the other hand, at the end of the first day of the congress, the AEE ANNUAL AWARDS were presented, a ceremony in which CTAG was recognised as “Technology Center of the Year”. The award was received by Francisco José Sánchez Pons, director of our Electronics and ITS division.

    We thank the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), a leading certification body for professional energy managers worldwide, for recognising our work on autonomous, connected and electric vehicles and towards the search for new models of sustainable mobility.

    CTAG signs with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism a collaboration protocol for the future Spanish Network of Laboratories for Autonomous and Connected Vehicles

    CTAG and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (MINCOTUR) sign a collaboration protocol with the aim of formalising the launch of a laboratory network and a testing and research centre to develop technologies related to autonomous and connected vehicles.

    Different vehicle and component manufacturing companies will have the opportunity to validate, test and pre-homologate new products and R&D activities before introducing them into the market.

    CTAG will be able to share its experience in this field, to which it has been committed since 2005 with a strategic line of R&D&I in development and validation of autonomous and connected vehicles, as well as help to “Position Spain as the European testing and validation reference ground for the connected vehicle, and become a benchmark in the new industrial model associated with the design and manufacture of connected, autonomous and sustainable vehicles, with the attraction of investments and new projects for companies in the sector” as our managing director, Luis Moreno, highlighted yesterday.

    Furthermore, Reyes Maroto explained that “Spain wants to play a leading role in the design and development of autonomous and connected vehicles and this protocol is committed to a public-private collaboration model to promote connected, autonomous, sustainable and safe mobility”.

    We’re taking the SHUTTLE to Seville to participate in the XXIII Spanish and V Ibero-American ITS Congress

    Next 28th, 29th and 30th March, the ITS Congress (Intelligent Transport Systems) will be held in Seville, this year focusing on the “Deployment of ITS for sustainable mobility”.

    CTAG will be attending as a speaker with our Electronics and Intelligent Transport Systems Director, Francisco Sánchez Pons, in the context of Cooperative Systems and with the topic “Current global trends in autonomous and connected driving”.

    During this exhibition, he will present our 100% electric, connected and autonomous SHUTTLE, a sustainable mobility solution that can cover both short and long distance transfers.

    In addition, on the last day of the event, the annual ITS 2023 Sector Awards will be presented to organisations, projects and individuals. Within the latter group, one of the award winners will be our colleague Ana Paul, Director of Technological Innovation at CTAG. Congratulations!
