BME Automated Drive

The BME Automated Drive Team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season! 🎄 May your days be filled with warmth, laughter, and well-deserved rest.

Cheers to a fantastic year ahead, packed with exciting advancements!

Milestone Alert 💡: For the first time, a real vehicle has been controlled in actual conditions on a live track using standard interfaces from a cloud-based central system. The sensors embedded in infrastructure enabled the creation of a digital twin model in a central system, utilizing data from various sensors to implement and test additional driving support or autonomous vehicle functions.

The demonstration was conducted by researchers from BME and Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH of Austria at the ZalaZONE Automotive Proving Ground, as part of the EUREKA Central System project.

We had an exceptional experience as speakers at the international internal training for Bosch development engineers, addressing an audience of over 100 participants. It was an honor to be the first university to contribute to this esteemed program based on mutual trust established over many years of cooperation!

Our experts from the Department of Automotive Technologies delivered compelling presentations on cutting-edge topics such as camera-lidar fusion, reinforcement learning for motion planning, and neural network operations. A special thanks to our colleagues Mihály Csonthó, Hunor Szilárd Tóth, and Dr. Árpád Török.
