TARGET-X Project
The TARGET-X project envisions accelerating the digital transformation of key verticals such as energy, construction, automotive, and manufacturing using large-scale trials in multiple testbeds. By demonstrating, validating, and evaluating the potential of 5G/6G in real environments, technologies such as real-time communication, localization, self-description, digital twinning, and sensor-network data fusion can be tested and evaluated.
IDIADA Automotive 5G-Trial Site
Applus IDIADA is a global partner to the automotive industry with over 30 years’ experience in providing design, engineering, testing and homologation services. The company has more than 2,900 professionals and an international network of subsidiaries and branch offices in 22 countries, with headquarters located in Santa Oliva, Tarragona, Spain.
IDIADA HQ has 14 tracks with a technical center, 370 hectares covered by a confidential and secure environment, where a controlled and exclusive network with 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G NSA technologies is available. IDIADA, together with its partners, aims to boost the development and use of 5G networks in the automotive field through the following 3 use cases:
The feasibility of realizing the use cases using the best technologies will be evaluated and demonstrated throughout the project.
- Cooperative perception for Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs)
- Digital Road Twin
- Predictive Quality of Service
Objectives:
5G for cloud native production: The fifth generation of wireless technology (5G) has arrived and is being rolled out globally. First industrial sectors such as manufacturing are testing the capabilities of 5G showing great potential for ubiquitous connectivity. With the sixth generation (6G), wireless communication will bring new features, improved performance, and functional benefits to several industrial sectors.
5G for construction: The focus of the evaluation is on KPIs and especially KVIs, such as sustainability, safety, security, and privacy. Based on these KVIs, new business models and a methodological assessment framework for economic and societal evaluation will be developed. The development of the solutions will be supported and guided by the TARGET-X community, a network of SMEs, IT- and OT-partners, and up to 100 FSTP (Financial Support for Third Parties) projects, bringing together a strong consortium with SMEs and innovation drivers.
5G for energy monitoring: The TARGET-X project envisions accelerating the digital transformation of key verticals: energy, construction, automotive, and manufacturing using large-scale trials in multiple testbeds.
5G for mobile robotics: To reach TARGET-X’s goals, a selection of use cases will be established for all verticals in the existing 5G testbeds. New 5G/6G features will be developed and integrated into the testbeds and validated in evolved use cases. The FTSP projects will both deliver new use cases and technical contributions. A large number of FTPS participants will strengthen the 5G/6G ecosystem. Results of the project will be discussed with 6G-SNS projects and used for standardization, also in the different verticals.
5G for automotive driving: By demonstrating, validating, and evaluating the potential of 5G/6G in real environments, the most advanced 5G/6G technologies such as real-time communication, localization, self-description, digital twinning, and sensor-network data fusion can be tested and evaluated.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement number 101096614.
