The official start of the project “UrbanSmartPark”
took place on January 20 and 21, 2020 in Braunschweig at the
Automotive Research Center Niedersachsen (NFF) with a two-day
workshop of all partners.
Industry representatives from
Škoda Auto, Altran Technologies and Siemens/TASS were present, as
well as science players from the NFF, UTIA, ČVUT and Fraunhofer
SCS and representatives of the cities of Hamburg and Helmond as
city partners.
The Europe-wide, two-year project aims
at the development and pilot demonstration of automated parking
functions on the road as well as the conception and provision of
parking services. The definition of use cases, a market analysis
and the prototypical implementation of automated parking functions
are planned for the coming year. In the second year, concrete
demonstrations in the city of Hamburg are planned, as well as
studies on the commercialization of the developed products. The
project has a project volume of 860,000 euros and will be funded
with 600,000 euros in 2020.
The next workshop is
planned for April 2020 in Hamburg, as this is also where the first
demonstrations and possible market implementations will take
place.
