iEXODDUS aims to enhance automated driving systems by leveraging infrastructure support to improve robustness and manage environmental complexities. The project advances digital technologies and services to enhance safety, security and sustainability in mobility, paving the way for more reliable automated transportation. A key objective is to assess existing Operational Design Domains (ODDs) to identify limitations and opportunities for improvement, fostering a comprehensive understanding of ODD challenges.
This analysis will inform the development of a framework to assess and categorise ODDs across various automated driving scenarios. The project focuses on enhancing sensor technologies and perception capabilities through advanced fusion methods, extending ODDs beyond current limitations while accounting for environmental factors, such as road infrastructure.
iEXODDUS, short for “Infrastructure for the Extension of ODDs – applied in Connected and Automated Driving and Standardisation Procedures,” is a project dedicated to enhancing automated vehicles by extending their Operational Design Domains (ODDs). By improving their ability to navigate complex environments, iEXODDUS aims to contribute to a safer, more efficient, and sustainable Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) ecosystem.
Our goal is to expand the capabilities of automated vehicles by addressing the limitations of existing ODDs. We aim to develop advanced perception and decision-making algorithms that allow these vehicles to operate safely and reliably in challenging scenarios, such as roadwork zones. By reducing operational constraints and improving sensor reliability, iEXODDUS seeks to minimise human intervention while enabling seamless interaction between automated and human-driven vehicles.
Our first newsletter is now online
We are excited to share an important milestone: the very first iEXODDUS newsletter is now available. With this edition, we want to offer a more personal and in-depth look at what iEXODDUS is all about, from the vision behind the project to the people who are driving it forward every day.
A Comprehensive Dataset of Construction Sites, Incidents and Tunnel Environments
The iEXODDUS project has published a public report on Milestone 6 (MS6), that reviews and structures the current landscape of datasets for some of the most challenging automated driving scenarios: Highway construction zones and incidents, tunnel and urban canyon environment.
