Electricity grids
Software Defined Vehicle for VaS in Urban Areas
- Romania
- SUMMARY
- Domain: Electricity Grid
- Partners: Continental, FENIX2.0, ERTICO
- Goal: P2 scales Continental’s innovations by integrating a Software Defined Vehicle (SDV), transforming it into an active hub for computation, data exchange, and context-aware connectivity.
- P2 introduces four SDV scenarios, each focusing on Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaS) to address key areas of urban mobility through O-CEI-enabled technologies. These scenarios demonstrate the transformative role of SDVs as active infrastructure elements, revolutionizing safety, sustainability, energy integration, and grid optimization in urban mobility.
- PILOT SCENARIOS
VaS for Vehicle Safety
Timisoara, Romania
This scenario enhances vehicle safety with AI-driven system monitoring, OTA updates, advanced cybersecurity, and real-time technologies for the reliable, secure, and dynamic operation of embedded systems (e.g., engine management, braking, steering, infotainment)
VaS for Sustainability
Timisoara, Romania
This scenario leverages AI utilities from the O-CEI marketplace to optimize EV powertrain efficiency, minimize carbon footprints, and ensure driver engagement with sustainable, real-time feedback and seamless integration.
VaS for Fleet V2G Integration
Timisoara, Romania
It uses AI to optimize EV charging and energy return via Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capabilities, with edge and cloud software supporting fleet-wide data analysis and operations.
VaS for Grid Optimization
Timisoara, Romania
This scenario uses V2G, smart grids, and AI to optimize energy use, schedule charging during off-peak hours, utilize dynamic pricing, and grid balancing for sustainable vehicle interactions.
