How to integrate automatic parking and charging of electric cars to make mobility in cities more sustainable
09:00 - 16:00
Proprietory automated valet parking solutions have been demonstrated by some OEMs and their suppliers and fleet operators of robotaxis have continuously expanded their service offerings. The electrification of cars is in full swing and charging of electric vehicles is expected to be much easier and more convenient.
However, fully automated valet parking, where the vehicle can self-drive into a complex parking garage or parking area and park itself and automatically charge itself (e.g. through wireless charging) has not been demonstrated, and scalable solutions are not available despite many enabling technologies have matured.
Integrated automated parking and charging of electric vehicles is a multi-stakeholder challenge. Interdependent players like OEMs, suppliers, fleet operators, road and park house operators need to clarify their business relationships first before technical interoperability standards can be developed to drive the growth of new and complementary markets. What is missing and how to get ready for the large-scale deployment of integrated automated parking and charging of electric cars?
The workshop will review state of the art and address some of the most pressing open questions:
- Which are the key drivers of a winning business case to justify the investment into an automated parking and charging ecosystem?
- What are the key requirements of the main stakeholders of the ecosystem that need to be met by the solution set?
- How can stakeholder agree on a set of parking and charging scenarios and operational domain descriptions?
- What is the level of safety that automated parking and automated charging needs to meet in order to be acceptable by operators and users and how can that be measured?
- How can vehicle safety assessment/homologation processes be standardized in order to virtualize this process as much as possible with simulation tools and digital maps?
Talks and discussions will cover hot topics including following:
- Review of enabling technologies
- Impact assessment of end-to-end sustainable parking/charging solutions
- Update on recent regulatory activities and supporting standards
- What are the business cases for automated parking?
- Approaches for cyber-physical verification and validation of L4 automated vehicles to get ready for type approval and self-certification
The workshop brings together leading experts and decision makers to share state-of-the-art solutions and what is coming next. Different views from all over the globe including the US, Europe and China will foster a lively debate about commonalities and differences and the best way forward.
Why Join
Key industry leaders from Europe, the United States, and Asia will share their views. The panel discussion with the audience will open up opportunities for attendees to debate the tech, business, and regulatory challenges while figuring out how standards-related activities can help to monetize technologies and to shape markets in order to facilitate the large-scale deployment of highly automated mobility solutions. Researchers are encouraged to share latest research results, and innovators to come up with disruptive concepts.
