SCOTT has developed mechanisms and frameworks to foster the use of wireless technologies and significantly increase engineers’ trust in these technologies when planning, setting up, utilizing, and monitoring a secure, robust, and reliable wireless network in an automotive environment.

From an overall perspective, SCOTT has focused on wireless sensor and actuator networks and communication in the areas of mobility, building and smart infrastructure, addressing numerous European societal challenges such as smart, green, and integrated transport, secure and inclusive societies, as well as health and wellbeing.

The project delivered leading-edge developments including a fully mobile, multi-node sounding system, highly accurate geometry-based stochastic channel models for vehicular scenarios (driverless cars in densely built-up city centres) and the railway environment (measurement and characterization of propagation conditions for train2infrastructure and train2train/virtual coupling of high-speed trains use cases), as well as a scale-up of the developed channel models to system level and integration with network and traffic simulator interfaces.

The project innovations will serve as enablers of efficient, trustworthy connectivity, and will facilitate the ubiquity of intelligent, embedded systems and systems of systems, thus helping to solve burning issues in the automated vehicles industry (Cars/Railways) and Industry 4.0.

Start: 01.05.2017

End: 31.10.2020

Goals:

• Measurement and characterization of radio channels in the railway environment for the use case of train-to-infrastructure and train-to-train (virtual coupling).
• Development of a multi-node channel sounding system.
• Development of a geometry-based stochastic channel model for vehicular scenarios.
• Development of a geometry-based stochastic channel model for railway environments.
• Scale-up of the developed channel models to system level and integration with network and traffic simulator interfaces.
