i2CAT at SCEWC 2023

i2CAT at SCEWC

The Smart City Expo World Congress is back in Barcelona. The i2CAT Foundation will be there again to contribute its knowledge to the new urban era that will rethink cities to make them greener, more collaborative, ethical and focused on people’s needs.

In this edition, the Catalan research centre will explore the possibilities of communications between vehicles and urban infrastructure (V2X) and the analysis and prediction of traffic patterns to generate intelligent control strategies and guarantee connected, autonomous and coordinated mobility. Thanks to the expertise of i2CAT, industrial and digital companies will be able to make the leap towards the cities of the future paradigm.

On its 20th anniversary, the i2CAT Foundation reaffirms its position as one of the centres with the most knowledge on vehicular communications technologies.

i2CAT develops systems based on novel technologies in the field of mobility. Some examples of technologies that will be the stepping stone for innovative products are detecting, high-precision positioning and tracking vehicles with artificial vision, radio and satellite technologies, AI, security in inter-vehicular communications and intelligent traffic analysis.

i2CAT leverages 20 years generating knoledge in advanced digital technologies to facilitate innovative use cases and pilots.

Social Innovation

5G MED

Sustainable 5G deployment model for future mobility in the Mediterranean Cross-Border Corridor.

Caramel

Artificial Intelligence-based Cybersecurity for Connected and Automated Vehicles.

IoT-Ngin

Introduces novel research and innovation which will fuel the Next Generation of IoT.

COGNIFOG

In the context of the COGNIFOG project, i2CAT will assist a trial's development to evaluate a secure Cognitive-Fog environment with dynamic resource and service orchestration capabilities. The objective is to showcase the feasibility of new wide-area coordinated crisis management services in urban areas, while expediting traditional ones. The Centennial flood in Paris will be the scenario to demonstrate the COGNIFOG stack's compatibility of dynamic digital resource management with operational dependability requirements in collaborative mission systems.

PAI Mobility

Management and optimization of resources for emergency services, as well as enhance.ment of security through AI and cybersecurity protocols.

SAVE V2X

In cooperation with ACISA, the SAVE – V2X: Safe, Accurate & Virtualized Edge Solutions for V2X services project expects to facilitate the management and optimization of resources for emergency services, as well as enhancement of security through AI and cybersecurity protocols.

Red INTEGRA

The main objective of the Red INTEGRA is to work on identifying optimal urban scenarios to implement autonomous driving for passengers and goods transportation. Within the framework of the project, high-safety autonomous and connected driving technologies and systems are also developed. These include collision avoidance systems, connected environment simulation tools, and safety technologies for autonomous last-mile transportation.

Digital Catalonia Alliance

A disruptive and collaborative alliance of emerging technology communities designed to become a promoter of Catalonia's digital economic sectors.

Open-VERSO

Open, virtualized technology demonstrators for Smart network.

5G Catalunya

5G technology applied to autonomous mobility can be an innovative and reliable solution to make the mobility of driverless vehicles safer. A pilot was carried out within the 5G Catalonia project, incorporating communication standards on the 5G mobile network that facilitated the communication of different autonomous devices within the V2X protocol. A monitored vehicle received live and high-quality images quickly enough to react and avoid possible obstacles or risks. The i2CAT Foundation developed and integrated a virtualized system of vehicle-infrastructure communication to deploy on Edge using 5G technology, which allowed a reliable and real-time connection with the vehicle. The centre also contributed its knowledge to developing image recognition software powered by AI that made it possible to determine potential dangers and send real-time notifications to the control service. This simulation was the second of the seven use cases that make up the 5G Catalonia project, which Red.es awarded.
