A European research project called AdaptIVe (Automated Driving Applications & Technologies for Intelligent Vehicles) has been launched at the MobileLifeCampus in Wolfsburg, Germany. The project has been formed from a consortium of 29 partners and aims to achieve “breakthrough advances” that will lead to more efficient and safe automated driving.

“This complex field of research will not only utilise onboard sensors, but also cooperative elements such as vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Therefore, I am glad that most European automotive companies are cooperating in this pre-competitive field to create new solutions for automated driving,” says Professor Jürgen Leohold, Executive Director of Volkswagen Group Research.

Over the planned 42-month duration of AdaptIVe, the partners will develop and test new functionalities for cars and trucks, offering both partially automated and highly automated driving on motorways, in urban scenarios, and for close-distance manoeuvres.

The focus of the project will be on achieving ideal cooperative interaction between the driver and the automated system by using advanced sensors, cooperative vehicle technologies and adaptive strategies in which the level of automation is dynamically adapted to the situation and driver status.

The consortium, led by Volkswagen, consists of ten major automotive manufacturers, suppliers, research institutes and universities and small and medium-sized businesses. The project has a budget of 25 million euros and is funded by the European Commission.

“AdaptIVe” includes the following partners: Automotive Manufacturers: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH, Centro Ricerche Fiat SCPA, Daimler AG, Adam Opel AG, Peugeot Citroën Automobiles S.A., Renault s.a.s. represented by GIE Regienov, Volkswagen AG, Volvo Personvagnar AB, Volvo Group, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering Europe
