ArchitectECA2030

Trustable architectures with acceptable
residual risk for the electric, connected and
automated cars

ArchitectECA2030 is a European project with 20 partners from 8 countries. Period
The aim of this collaboration is to increase the safety of electrically powered, 01.12.2018 – 31.05.2021
connected and automated vehicles. For this purpose, electrical components
and systems (ECS) are to be investigated, validated and their design devel- Project management
oped towards more robust versions. In addition, the residual risk of the ECS Prof. Dr.-Ing. Niels Modler
is to be described in order to increase the acceptance of such systems by
the end user. Contact
