Automotive & Transports Working Group

Olivier Guetta, WG President - RENAULT

“Our strategy is based on a threefold objective: boosting techno¬logical innovation in order to increase industrial performance and enhance the attractiveness of Paris region. This strategy fully leverages the contribution to international Standards."

To date, 28 projects labelled by Systematic were initiated by the Automotive & Transports Working Group. This Working Group has demonstrated its ability to develop innovative projects struc¬tured by roadmaps and, most importantly, to capitalize on their results by integrating them into a platform of economic valoriza¬tion. Our Working Group developed at European level a coordi¬nation of several clusters of competitiveness in France, Germany, Spain and Austria to be able to promote new technologies in standard such as Autosar, Cenelec or ISO 26262.

Embedded systems and electronics, at the heart of the transportation sector

With a GDP share of 15%, the transport industry (aviation, rail and automotive) structures very strongly France’s economic and industrial activities.

Paris Region is the first French region in this sector with 156 000 employees representing 19% of national em-ployment.

Regarding R&D, the automotive industry, as an example, employs in the Ile-de-France 17 500 people including 6 600 researchers, representing 75% of french researchers in this field, 67% of the research staff in this industry and 72% of expenditure on R&D.

The Automotive & Transports Working Group within Systematic

This Working Group aims at mastering the complexity of electronic architectures and embedded-systems to meet the need for technological development concerning embedded systems in automotive, railwayand truck indus¬tries, leveraging the expertise and competences of all these sectors.

• R&D Financed Projects: 39
• 82 partners including : 26 SME - 6 ETI - 25 Large companie - 25 Research institutes and universities
• Total Investment: 234,9 M€

The Automotive & Transports Working Group is struc-tured around six technology areas, called “Development Axes”:

• Electronics Architecture
• Dependability of monitoring systems
• Software tools and Methods
• Diagnosis
• Human-machine interfaces
• Algorithms & data fusion for localisation and vision

It also cooperates with the Telecom Working Group
