EcoMobility will support European industry and cities in transitioning from isolated and static transportation means towards a service-centric, connected mobility ecosystem by sharing data and services across involved stakeholders. The project will enable and simplify cooperative development, deployment, operation and life cycle management of connected adaptive end-to-end mobility solutions in a sustainable manner. EcoMobility will • establish devops practices within the supply chain with continuous and customized cloud-based addition and improvement of mobility services • support contract-based runtime coupling of mobility services within edge/cloud-based service for deployment of AI solutions, coupled with monitoring, analysis and coordination of vehicles, transportation infrastructures and people • deliver reliable & enhanced vision, perception, including HD maps, and localization systems for safe, connected, and automated vehicles • deliver customized and improved fail-operational ADAS systems reflecting technology capabilities of heterogeneous vehicles and protecting vulnerable road users • provide energy-aware control and scheduling of electric vehicles including smart Battery Management Systems (BMS) and coordination with other transportation means • contribute to increased public acceptance of electrified autonomous vehicles and bridge gaps between technological advancements and legal and regulatory frameworks. The demonstrators within EcoMobility will showcase the project’s findings and capabilities for the end-to-end sustainable mobility ecosystem with impact on improved trust, safety, security, efficiency and ecology of mobility solutions to a level appropriate for mass-market deployment. Emerging innovations will leverage the expertise of world-renowned industrial and research partners within the mobility value chain, giving Europe a competitive edge in a growing market with direct contributions to the European goal of zero road fatalities by 2050

The FOCAL project will deliver a unified framework to achieve practical E2E functional composition of PQC in edge networked environments. Functional composition will be accommodated under a cross-layering paradigm mapping requirements of existing PQC cryptosystems and further improving them through appropriate methodologies and mechanisms via considering device, software, networking and communication properties. Consequently, FOCAL will act as a cornerstone on achieving the first practical and programmable composition of PQC across the full E2E path between a given datacenter orchestrating cloud services to an edge deployment. This will be achieved through (i) crypto-agility via hardware reconfigurability , (ii) exploitation of communication channel properties on the edge, (iii) network instrumentation and orchestration via advanced software-defined technologies, (iv) enhanced PQC key generation, encapsulation and storage underpinned by hardware acceleration schemes, (v) lightweight synthesis of distributed Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) amongst edge devices, and (vi) awareness of application-level interoperability requirements inferred through Machine Learning (ML)-driven edge device learning. The envisaged technical directions will be dictated by non-technical activities encapsulated within the FOCAL framework assessing metrics associated to measuring the transition of such edge-oriented ecosystems into PQC and on improving existing standards and policies through lessons learned. Thus, contributing significantly towards the EU objectives and guidelines as outlined in the EU Commission Recommendation on Post-Quantum Cryptography.
