The DESERVE project: Towards future ADAS functions

Abstract

This article introduces the objectives and structure of the European research project DESERVE that is co-funded by the ARTEMIS-JU and national funding bodies. The project started in September 2012 with a duration of 3 years. The project aims to establish a new embedded SW and HW design by using a more efficient development process (including the enabling general platform concept and tool chain) in order to overcome challenges in reducing component costs and development time of future ADAS functions for modern vehicles. Both the process and the platform concept will be demonstrated with innovative ADAS functions in 3 passenger cars, 1 truck and 1 motorcycle.Embedded hardware and software units have been developed for improving electronic horizon band of vehicles by detecting objects in front. Moreover, driver/motorcycle rider awareness is analysed by monitoring his/her actions online. The systems need to be robust and reliable in different environment conditions (night time, rain, etc.). The DESERVE platform distinguishes three layers of intelligence: perception, application and intervention&warning control. The demonstrators will be based on software development tools from Elektrobit (ADTF) and Intempora (RTmaps). These tools are used to create 10 innovative ADAS applications as part of an integral ADAS development platform, following a new design and development process. Since the project is highly application oriented, the requirements have been adapted mainly from the ISO 26262 standard and the AUTOSAR framework which ensures compatibility with the existing automotive software environment.

Roles of project steering committees in large agricultural projects in Cameroon

“…It has recently been argued that a steering committee's involvement in capital projects is paramount in achieving project success (Drake & Bekker, 2023). One of the key problems of the projects is resourcing, especially when the project-based organisation is fitted inside a hierarchical structure (Kutila et al, 2014). It has been discovered that a common problem in such structures is that there needs to be more people trying to steer too many projects in parallel (Jewer & McKay 2012).…”

“…Such communications should be extended to external stakeholders and consumers (Norton & Alwang, 2020). Moreover, project owners usually have specific managers to manage project portfolios and align them with the institution's goals following project procedures (Kutila et al, 2014). Standards and procedures have been observed to have a positive influence on the implementation of national projects by Kutila et al(2014).…”

The standardised procedures in project implementation are more prevalent in new projects and have positively influenced project performance.…”

“…The crucial issue is that steering committee members have enough interest and time for the project, defined roles, and sufficient mandate for decision-making regarding project results and resource reallocation (Mosavi, 2014;McGrath & Whitty, 2018). In addition, the steering committee should meet regularly to monitor and evaluate progress, which is essential in overall project risk management and the success of projects (Kutila et al, 2014).…”

Design and Implementation Procedure for an Advanced Driver Assistance System Based on an Open Source AUTOSAR

“…With the advancements in ADAS, the underlying software has become more complex; where interoperability, portability, and maintainability became crucial requirements. These requirements are addressed by automotive software platforms such as Open Systems and their Interfaces for the Electronics in Motor Vehicles (OSEK) [6] and AUTOSAR [7][8][9].…”
