On 9–10 June 2026, the Deputy Director for Development and Leading Researcher at the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science (EDI), Dr. Sc. Ing. Kaspars Ozols, Research Assistant Maksis Celitāns, and Researcher Edgars Lielāmurs participated in the Horizon Europe Chips Joint Undertaking project Intelligent, Safe and Secure Connected Electrical Mobility Solutions: Towards European Green Deal and Seamless Mobility (EcoMobility) meeting held in Madrid, Spain. During the meeting, project partners presented the progress of the project work packages and supply chains, while also preparing for the project’s final review event. Networking activities took place, and decisions related to the project evaluation process were made.
The project’s final review sessions were held on 11–12 June 2026. During these sessions, the project partners presented the achieved results to the reviewers, including the outcomes of the supply chains represented by EDI: SC2 (Enhanced Perception and Localization) and SC3 (Intelligent Connectivity), as well as their respective demonstrators.
Within SC2, EDI developed radar perception software, radar-based perception and localization algorithms, as well as an FPGA-based accelerator for spiking neural network (SNN) inference. These solutions were demonstrated within a collaborative perception and localization framework demonstrator developed by the project partners. Within SC3, EDI developed an occupancy grid map-based environment representation model, which was integrated into the intelligent connectivity demonstrator developed within the supply chain.
The EcoMobility project has been successfully concluded, with EDI achieving its objectives and developing perception, localization and intelligent connectivity solutions for next-generation mobility systems.
