Technological Challenges

Program 1 tackles key challenges in enabling AVs for Australian environments by prototyping, testing and evaluating solutions in localisation, navigation, sensing, communication and digital twinning, while building future workforce engineering capacity.

     

    About

    The goal is to develop novel, flexible and open-source software stacks and vehicle platform architectures that can be easily shared and built upon, facilitating exchanges between academia and industries. This program will instantiate those modules on the Ford Ranger platform and simulation framework (Project 1.4), thereby creating tools for the applied challenge-based learning of this centre and beyond.
