“Vehicle-Road-Cloud Integrated Systems” (VRCIS) are integrated systems that provide benefits such as augmented perception and the ability to share data between different areas of city traffic management. In China, VRCIS is being tested and piloted in selected cities.
The 51st National Machine Diagnostics Symposium took place in Wisła on March 2-6, 2025. The event was organized by the Faculty of Transport and Aeronautical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology, the Polish Society of Technical Diagnostics, the Section of Operation Fundamentals of the KBM PAN, the Transport Commission of the PAN and the Acoustics Committee of the PAN. Experts of the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Competence Centre (CK:PAP)– Aleksandra Rodak and Anna Niedzicka – gave a lecture on a research and measurement station for recording road scenarios for autonomous vehicles, thus referring to the DARTS-PL project implemented by CK:PAP.
During the 21st Expert Meeting on Automated, Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA), held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva from 20 to 24 January 2025, the need to establish a new Informal Working Group (IWG) dealing with Safe and Secure Access to Vehicle Data and Functions (SAVDF)
Motor Transport Institute in cooperation with the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Competence Centre are delighted to invite you to the 4th edition of the AV-POLAND conference. The conference will be held on 12th June 2025 in Warsaw, at the headquarters of the Motor Transport Institute.
On 6-11.01.2025, the 53rd edition of the Winter Reliability School took place. The event was attended by Dr. Eng. Małgorzata Pełka. The CK:PAP expert referred to the reliability of the human operator and the impact of humans on the reliability of technical systems.
The use of autonomous snowplows for cleaning urban and suburban areas is an innovative solution that ensures high work efficiency and reduces the number of road accidents, and therefore improves overall safety. The use of autonomous snowplows can contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, because they are usually electrically powered and can operate more efficiently than traditional snow removal vehicles.
Have a peaceful Christmas spent in a joyful atmosphere and continued success in the New Year. CK:PAP Team
During the meeting of experts on automated, autonomous and connected vehicles (GRVA), which took place on 23-27 September 2024 in Geneva, discussions included changes in the requirements for the Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS), in accordance with UN Regulation 157. The experts noted the need to adapt the regulations to the results of observations made during the operation of such systems in real traffic conditions.
The ability to move is one of the most important human needs. Equipping vehicles with automated functions improves road safety, and the use of solutions aimed at the needs of people with various types of disabilities will also increase the functionality and comfort of vehicle use, so that vehicles can be adapted to the needs and useful for many users.
The implementation of vehicles equipped with automated functions and autonomous vehicles requires research to verify whether new technologies will be safe. Tests in real traffic conditions are expensive, time-consuming and difficult to implement for various reasons so the real-world traffic testing phase is usually preceded by laboratory simulations. Scenario databases collect data that reflect real-world conditions and are essential for proper simulation.
