Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF)

Projects / Use Cases

UPHF is involved in the C-Roads, InDiD, InterCor, FENIX, Chaire RIVA and SCALE projects.

C-Roads: 2018 – 2021
https://c-its.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/projets/c-roads/

InDiD (Digital Infrastructure of Tomorrow): 2019 – 2024
https://c-its.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/projets/indid/

FENIX (A European FEderated Network of Information eXchange in Logistics): 2019 – 2023
FENIX is a project for the development and pilot deployment of a digital information system for logistics transport, along several European corridors. The project is coordinated by ERTICO and brings together 26 partners from 12 European countries, including 6 French partners. FENIX aims to deploy and test C-ITS services for freight and logistics along a dozen European multimodal transport corridors, including three in France.

RIVA Chair of Excellence (Intelligent Roads for Autonomous Vehicles): 2020 – 2024
This chair is headed by Professor Abdenour HADID, a renowned professor of artificial intelligence who is developing environmental perception systems for future automated vehicles. Researchers from the COMNUM group are working with Professor Hadid to develop the themes of this Chair (Connected and Digitalized Road Infrastructure, Augmented Perception and Cyber-security of vehicular communications). The unique feature of the chair is that it provides scientific support for IEMN researchers and doctoral students, as well as for companies in the C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) sector in the Valenciennes area.

SCALE (Strengthening C-ITS Adoption and Lining-up across Europe): 2024 – 2028
The SCALE project aims to develop the deployment of mature C-ITS services and to support the technical development and impact assessments for the large-scale deployment of new C-ITS use cases at 10 different representative European pilot and operational sites.
As part of the SCALE project, UPHF is leading the UeV Poids Lourd working group, in which it is responsible for studying the specific hardware and software requirements of heavy goods vehicles in terms of UeV. The UPHF contributes directly to

• The study of existing equipment and data available in a HGV.
• The study of specific functional requirements for a truck.
• Study of the gap between what exists and what is needed (technically and financially).
• Feasibility study of a truck UeV and definition of the hardware or software specifications for this truck UeV.
• Specification of a software interface, if required, to exchange HGV data with PFro, NFR and Coopits.

Identification of specific requirements for the hybrid communication architecture.
The UPHF is also contributing to the Nord-Est pilot site for the development of the following logistics use cases:

• • Information on available truck parking spaces.
  • Assistance with truck access to urban areas.
  • Multimodal freight optimization (MCTO).
