On April 24, 2023, representatives of NIST and the Republic of Korea’s government agencies – the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology and Korea Automotive Technology Institute – signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on research and development (R&D) related to teleoperated and automated vehicles. The signing occurred at NIST’s Gaithersburg, MD campus.
The non-binding memorandum provides a mutual understanding of the proposed collaboration. Specifically, the memorandum says that NIST and Korea Automotive Technology Institute intend to participate in:
- Mutually beneficial international joint R&D Projects related to teleoperated and automated vehicles
- Establishing standards on system architecture for advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) supported teleoperated vehicles
- Research on advanced V2X communications, using fifth generation (5G) and sixth generation (6G) network technologies for teleoperated vehicles
- Research and development of artificial intelligence for advanced support of teleoperated and automated vehicles
- Research into cybersecurity for advanced V2X supported teleoperated vehicles
- Staff exchanges to conduct joint research at Korea Automotive Technology Institute and NIST facilities
NIST and Korea Automotive Technology Institute plan to discuss a proposed vehicle teleoperation and 5G communication system.
