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.
With the introduction of the General Safety Regulation, all new vehicles sold and registered for the first time in the European Union after 7 July 2024 must be equipped with certain driver assistance systems, which will improve road safety. In October 2024, Euro NCAP published the test results of five Level 2 automated driving systems from five different vehicle manufacturers.
On September 23-27, 2024, the XX meeting of experts on automated, autonomous and connected vehicles GRVA took place in Geneva. The meeting was attended by a representative of the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Competence Center (CK:PAP) Dr. Eng. Artur Gołowicz. The group of experts established within the GRVA belongs to WP.29 - World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations.
The 13th Conference of the Polish Chamber of Commerce of Driver Training Centers was held in Krynica Zdrój on September 13-15, 2024. The conference was attended by experts from the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Competence Centre (CK:PAP): Dr. Ewa Odachowska-Rogalska and Prof. Dr. Hab. Eng. Marcin Ślęzak.
