Abstract

Nowadays, vehicles are able to drive autonomously in specific contexts. Spoke 6 project, part of the Italian National Centre for Sustainable Mobility (MOST), aims to contribute to developing an ecosystem of research and testing labs to promote the deployment of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV). This development will result in a network of permanent facilities for collaborative research, promoting technology transfer, increasing technology readiness in real-world contexts, and facilitating large-scale adoption of automated vehicles.
In this context, Spoke 6 is extending the Modena Automotive Smart Area (MASA) to create an Urban Living Lab for CAV testing and data collection in a real urban multi-vehicle setting. The MASA facilities have been outfitted with traffic monitoring systems (based on smart cameras, RSUs, and OBUs) to enable the implementation of safety-critical scenarios. In this case, communication between infrastructure and road actors can broaden the electronic horizon and raise awareness of the traffic situation.
In line with the project's pillars, this living lab is producing outcomes on: (i) Simulation, with the development of a Digital Twin of the MASA to reconstruct the environment and visualize real traffic data; (ii) Vehicle Platforms, by equipping an automated vehicle with communication modules and an innovative HMI; (iii) Datasets, with the collection of environmental and driving data to design and test automated driving modules.
