Interdisciplinary Training Network in Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicles

"The ITEAM network is aimed at establishing and sustainably maintaining the European training network with high grade of interdisciplinarity by training strong specialists to research and develop cutting-edge technologies in the field of multi-actuated ground vehicle (MAGV). In this framework, the ITEAM consortium sets out to foster the development of new hardware and software solutions to enhance the driving performance, to improve the vehicle safety and to reduce the pollutants emissions. In concert with the research goals, the consortium also provides a sound and effective collaboration between the academia and industry in order to improve the career perspectives of the talented graduates. Distinctive feature of the ITEAM network is the concept of interaction of three research clusters: ""MAGV integration"", mainly aimed at developing subsystems for active control of the chassis and the powertrain; ""Green MAGV"", focused on the development of innovative solutions to improve the efficiency and to reduce the emissions of MAGV; ""MAGV Driving Environment"" that deals with the realisation of semi-autonomous and fully automated driving of MAGV. In particular, the research effort involved in three clusters stems from fifteen individual projects carried out by early-stage researchers (ESRs). All the ESRs were trained in the domains of control engineering and computational intelligence, vehicle dynamics and human machine interface, assessment of the proposed engineering solutions by means of the development of virtual and real testing facilities for MAGV. To achieve the project objectives, the consortium draws upon 11 beneficiaries and 8 partner organisations. The ITEAM participants have put together an efficient research and training network characterised both by harmonious partners' complementarity and synergetic cooperation in terms of development of MAGV innovations."

Project objective

The main target of the ITEAM project is to establish and sustainably maintain the European training network with high grade of interdisciplinarity, which will train strong specialists skilled in research and development of novel technologies in the field of multi-actuated ground vehicles (MAGV). The global goals are: (i) Advance of European postgraduate education in the area of environment- and user-friendly vehicle technologies that highly demanded by the European industry and society; (ii) Reinforcement of cooperation between academia and industry to improve career perspectives of talented graduates in both public and private sectors; (iii) Creation of strong European research and innovation group making determinant contributions to next generations of multi-actuated ground vehicles. To achieve the project objectives, the consortium unites 11 beneficiaries and 5 partner organizations from 9 European countries including 7 universities, 2 research centres, and 7 non-academic organizations. Distinctive feature of the ITEAM network is the concept of interaction of three research clusters: ""MAGV integration"", ""Green MAGV"", ""MAGV Driving Environment"". Within these clusters, the training concept will be based on intersectoral cooperation and will cover domains of (i) basic research, (ii) applied research, and (iii) experimentations. The ITEAM project will provide the first-of-its kind European training network in Ground Vehicles at doctorate level to fill up the niche in private sector and industry with researcher-practitioners. The proposed network will be developed as innovative, multidisciplinary, engineering product-oriented and project-based program to train the scientists by integrating cutting-edge research methods of ground vehicles, electric/mechatronic systems, environmental engineering and applied intelligent control. The ITEAM network measures will guarantee excellent career prospects for participating researchers both in industrial and academic sectors.""
