During the development of autonomous vehicles, experts face a number of challenges related to traffic safety and the reliability of the systems responsible for sensing the vehicle's environment. In the 2020-1.2.3-EUREKA-2021-00001 project Bosch developers will strongly cooperate with Budapesti University of Technology and Econmics as a consortium leader and with other members of the consortium, such as Bimfra Kft., Budapest Közút Zrt., Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt., and Magyar Telekom Távközlési Nyrt.
The „Central System” project is focusing on realizing a transport system using the highest-level state of the art technology, to develop and demonstrate a holistic solution to support and operate autonomous vehicles, especially their environment perception and control in cooperation with infrastructure elements. Within the framework of the project, the primary task is the development and implementation of a central system corresponding to the above, which is primarily used to support the validation of various tests and functions in close connection with the automated vehicles connected to the network. The aim of the consortium partners in long term is the cloud based support of operation and direction of mobility.
The planned total budget of 2020-2.1.1-ED-2020-00062 is 673,160,141 forints of which 495,538,602 forints is non-reimbursable grant. The project will be implemented with funding from the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
Engineering Center Budapest was established in 2005 as part of Robert Bosch Kft., and with around 3,000 development engineers, it is now the largest automotive development center in Europe – after Germany – within the Bosch Group. Engineering Center Budapest is an increasingly important location for Bosch's global development activities, plays an important role in the development of automated and electromobility and is one of the Bosch Group's most important research, development and test centers for automotive electronics.
