Program:

Horizon Europe (international project)

Project Duration:

2024 - 2027

Project Acronym:

PLIADES

Annotation:

PLIADES advances the SoA dataspaces reference architectures, towards a step change on the use of data as key enabler of technological advances in AI and Robotics. To this end, PLIADES researches into novel, AI-enabled tools to advance full data life cycles integration, both within and between data spaces.

Project Goal:

PLIADES aims to facilitate cross-domain data sharing by enabling users from diverse and heterogeneous data spaces to exchange data safely and seamlessly. The project lays the foundation for the development of a versatile data exchange ecosystem that integrates various data spaces. This is accomplished by extending the specification of IDS RAM with cross-domain data services, which augment the capabilities of IDS Connectors and facilitate decentralized data management as it is presented in the following figure. In addition, the project presents a cutting-edge data integration framework that places emphasis on the entire data life cycle, while also considering environmental and security factors.

Project Acronym:

AMCEMA

Annotation:

The AMCEMA project, or Automated Control Center for Autonomous MoD Minibus Operation, arises from the need for future effective limitation of individual car transport to prioritize public mass transport even in areas with lower utilization of public transport means, through Mobility on Demand (MoD).

Project Goal:

The project aims to create a semi-automated control center ensuring efficient and safe operation of AM. Dynamic route creation for AM lines will be prepared using predictions of the number of passengers on the chosen route. The research also includes technology for identifying incidents in the vehicle and methods for remote control, which are specifically necessary for the safe and reliable operation of AM from both the passengers' perspective and the operation in the system with other road users.

Within the VEXA project, a unique system for automating a number of driver tasks using the design of an advanced agent system was created. The purpose is to evaluate various simultaneously incoming stimuli with corresponding priority and then decide on the next behavior of the train. During the three years of project implementation, the consortium of CTU in Prague and AŽD Praha formulated use cases, functional and system requirements for the developed system, and based on this, designed a comprehensive concept of its logical architecture. An exceptional result was the development of the first verification functional sample of the system, which was operationally tested on the Libčeves–Třebívlice track. The operability of selected functions of this subsystem of the autonomous train was proven in connection with obstacle detection systems and automatic train control AoE (ATO over ETCS). Beyond the project, with the aim of distinguishing railway and naturally occurring objects from potential obstacles, the concept and functional sample of the subsystem of the digital map of the test track was also created.

The logical structure of the decision system, which is the main result of the VEXA project, was registered in the register of the Industrial Property Office in the form of a utility model number 36609. The system is an innovative and original solution on the scale of the Czech Republic and Europe. It was created based on close cooperation between academia and industry and will continue to be developed by AŽD Praha in cooperation with academia with the aim of deployment on the developed experimental vehicle of AŽD Praha s. r. o.

Program:

TAČR Doprava 2020+ (national project)

Project Duration:

2021 - 2024

Annotation:

Demonstration of the application of transport sciences to the real example of Evropská Street in Prague. Using a simulation-modeling framework to enable the future development of new services and algorithms so that the customer = city or urban technology companies can determine their impact, for example, on traffic flow parameters or the environment, before the actual implementation of measures and new services.

Project Goal:

The goal of the project is to more efficiently use multimodal transport information for the verification of alternative scenarios and new technologies. A digital model of the real transport environment will be created using current transport data. At the same time, a new set of methods and algorithms for automated preprocessing and fusion of measured transport and IoT data will be created, and new procedures for continuous calibration of simulation models will be established.
