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. The project titled "Central system for supporting the testing and operation of automated vehicles" sought solutions for these. The „Central System” R&D project was 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. During their collaboration, the researchers developed functions that show serious development potential for both vehicle system developers and infrastructure operators. One example of these provides a solution for avoiding typical accident-prone situations occurring on motorways by utilizing infrastructure data within the vehicle. A proposal was also developed to provide alerts to infrastructure operators about critical traffic situations by monitoring vehicle dynamic characteristics. As part of the project, participants also conducted a cybersecurity assessment, in which they determined what security requirements an intelligent transportation system must meet.
In the 2020-1.2.3-EUREKA-2021-00001 project Bosch developers were in close cooperation 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. through the work between September 2021 and end of August 2025. In the project, Bosch was responsible for developing the requirements system, drone-based validation of the tested smart road, and integrating higher-level driver assistance functions into the central system.
Engineering Center Budapest was established in 2005 as part of Robert Bosch Kft., and with more than 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.
