Framework
The PAC project is a mobilization program strictly aligned with the action plan of the Mobinov Cluster – Cluster Automóvel de Portugal. This has a mobilizing and structuring nature that aims, through concrete research and development actions in critical and emerging areas for the sector, to effectively contribute to a new positioning of the national automotive cluster in the global value chains of the vehicle of the future.
The most recent trends in mobility, especially urban mobility, clearly point to a disruptive transformation of the automobile, with repercussions that extend across the entire value chain. In the first instance driven by the challenges of sustainable development and mobility, but at the same time strongly boosted by the widespread digital revolution that affects all traditional businesses and determines new forms of use. Indeed, the challenge of mobility occurs in a context of profound socioeconomic changes, with an impact on the entire industrial and service chain.
Proposed solution
Develop a demonstrator vehicle, addressing the areas of vehicle architectures, interiors, structures and exteriors of the future, sensing and connectivity technologies, and flexible and digital production technologies.
The project is structured around six main R&D axes (Products, Processes, Services):
PPS1. New vehicle architectures of the future
PPS2. Interior development of the future
PPS3. Structures and exteriors of new vehicles
PPS4. New IoT connectivity challenges
PPS5. Flexible and digital production
PPS6. Management, coordination and dissemination
CCG CONTRIBUTION
CCG/ZGDV contributed to the PAC project, through the UMC, HTIR and EPMQ departments, for the development of new technologies, and their applicability, in the creation of the new urban vehicle concept of the future: connected, electric and autonomous.
- Sensing and connectivity technologies, with V2X - Vehicle to Everything communication modules for integration into vehicle platforms that allow different types of communication to operate simultaneously, between the various agents involved, in different contexts and locations
- New ways to test and evaluate user acceptability of new autonomous and connected vehicle concepts; and new external human-machine interfaces (eHMI) that allow autonomous vehicles to communicate with unconnected agents, namely pedestrians
- Planning, preparation and validation of tests
