UNICARagil - Disruptive Modular Architectures for Agile, Automated Vehicle Concepts

This paper introduces UNICARagil, a collaborative project carried out by aconsortium of seven Germanuniversities and six industrial partners, withfunding providedby the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany. In the scope of thisproject,disruptive modular structures for agile, automatedvehicle concepts areresearched and developed. Four prototypevehiclesof different characteristics based onthe same modular platform are going to be buildup over a period of four years. The fourfully automated and driverless vehiclesdemonstratedisruptive architectures in hardware and software, as well as disruptive concepts in safety, security, verificationand validation. This paper outlines themost importantresearch questions underlying the project.
