Important results from the project
Yes, the project met all goals and produced significant results. Planned 15 deliverables grew to 38, including 35 publications (1 PhD thesis, 1 Licentiate thesis, 7 journals articles, 24 conferences). We developed TSN-5G software modeling, timing analysis, and integration techniques, implemented in the Rubus-ICE industrial toolchain and validated on an industrial use case: teleoperation of a truck-mounted crane. The results are expected to strengthen the development of future vehicular systems.
Expected long term effects
The project’s results will enable next-generation vehicular functions requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency, and reliable communication. Developed TSN-5G integration techniques support safe, predictable V2X and onboard communication, influencing future design choices and accelerating innovation for autonomous and connected vehicles in industrial contexts such as autonomous quarries, recycling sites, and mines, contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable transport systems worldwide.
Approach and implementation
Despite the impact of Covid-19, the project produced significant results and was extended by VINNOVA for 1 year. The results are implemented and usability demonstrated through (i) tool prototypes and an industrial use-case (ii) an efficient design methodology. The consortium established a strong value chain: MDU co-developed scientific techniques together with all partners, Arcticus implemented them in industrial tools, and HIAB applied them in the use case, with feedback enabling refinement.
