Vehicle automation and networking create new opportunities for mobility. At the same time, the amount of data and functions in vehicles is increasing rapidly and needs to be processed in near real-time and in a safety-qualifiable manner. The high demands on computing power, flexibility and efficiency require new approaches in microelectronics as well as in computing and software architecture.
Developing a supercomputing platform for highly automated vehicles is the mission of the CeCaS project. The aim is to handle complex calculations and large data volumes in the car.
The central computing unit will be based on innovative high-performance automotive-qualified processors. Application-specific hardware accelerators and a real-time-capable software platform will complement the processors.
In the CeCaS project, the FZI Research Center for Information Technology is working on the analysis of distributed and central EE on-board networks with a focus on neuromorphic AI accelerators and real-time capable software platforms for the CentralCarServer:
In this research focus, the FZI concentrates on practical research into the key technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Innovative AI solutions are developed and transferred to application areas such as mobility, robotics, healthcare technology, logistics, production, and supply and disposal on behalf of our partners and customers.
Smart solutions for the transportation of people and goods are a focus of FZI research to shape mobility in the future. To this end, the FZI develops integrated mobility systems – from vehicle automation and the application of AI in traffic systems to urban mobility and logistics.
