2453 Renault and Heudiasyc, a joint research unit formed by UTC (Université de Technologie de Compiègne) and research organisation CNRS, are creating a shared research laboratory known as SIVALab, to be based in France.

The research unit will deploy a four-year research programme to study and develop autonomous vehicle systems with a view to offering greater accuracy and reliability. In addition to sensors, data will be sourced and analysed from pre-defined navigation maps and dynamic connections from other users and the infrastructure. By combining the data from these multiple sources, researchers believe the vehicle will provide better performance than with sensors alone, regardless of the situation.

The research is founded on the long-term relationship between Renault and Heudiasyc and will use the Renault ZOE-based autonomous vehicle platforms developed by Heudiasyc.

  • Global V2V penetration into new vehicles to rise by 2027
    June 13, 2013
    A new report from ABI research concludes that global vehicle to vehicle (V2V) penetration into new vehicles will increase from just over 10 per cent in 2018 to 70 per cent in 2027, with the EU, US, and Japan as key regions adopting V2V in the mid-term. “V2X market and regulatory dynamics vary greatly from region to region. While the US will decide whether or not to mandate V2X by the end of 2013 with implementation not expected before 2018, in Europe the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium (C2C-CC) has issue
