Context: Connected and automated vehicles are a key focal point of ITS research. To enable and accelerate their deployment in our everyday life, ICT is a prerequisite; this is the frame in which ICT4CART project places itself. Today, significant and rapid advances take place in the telecom and IT industries. Amongst these, ETSI ITS G5 has been thoroughly discussed at EU policy levels and has been used and tested in several EU projects. Moreover, 5G technology is evolving rapidly. Despite the above, several ICT challenges related to connectivity, data management, cyber-security and ICT infrastructure architectures still exist, and need to be addressed in order to enable road vehicle automation. Advancing ICT infrastructure, with the exploitation of digital and ICT technologies, is essential. ICT4CART aims to address the gaps to deployment bringing together key players from the automotive, telecom and IT industries, in order to shape the ICT landscape for Connected and Automated Road Transport and to boost EU competitiveness and innovation in this area. Project scope: The main objective of ICT4CART is to design, implement and test in real-life conditions a versatile ICT infrastructure that will enable the transition towards higher levels of automation (up to L4), addressing existing gaps and working with specific key ICT elements, namely hybrid connectivity, data management, cyber-security, data privacy and accurate localisation. ICT4CART builds on high-value use cases (urban and highway), which will be demonstrated and validated in real-life conditions at ICT4CART test sites in Austria, Germany and Italy. Significant effort will be put on cross-border interoperability, setting up a separate test site at the Italian-Austrian border. D 9.1 Definition of Communication Strategy & Plan (Version I): In this context, this document provides the initial communication strategy and plan, with a detailed overview of all communication and dissemination actions to be performed by the ICT4CART consortium. This initial communication strategy and plan includes the approach that will be used by ICT4CART partners to achieve an effective and efficient communication and dissemination of project news, outcomes and results; moreover, the document identifies the relevant objectives and target audience to address and the channel and means to be used, with the final aim of raising awareness 8 about ICT4CART’s scope. Communication and dissemination activities involve all consortium partners and constitute an essential part of the project development and implementation. Related communication actions and dissemination activities have been assigned to each partner from the beginning of the project, in order to ensure ICT4CART high visibility, outreach and impact on all involved/interested actors. |
