PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

Building trust in wireless solutions and increasing their social acceptance are two key challenges to realizing the full potential of the Internet of Things (IoT). SCOTT (Secure COnnected Trustable Things), is a 3-year pan-European project formed by 57 partners from 12 countries (including the EU and Brazil), among which we can find companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, Embraer, NXP or Indra. SCOTT aims to reduce these barriers to full market adoption by developing secure, reliable, interoperable and cost-effective wireless solutions. SCOTT is not just about "things being connected", but about "things you can trust being connected in a secure way", with reliable and robust technologies that ensure the privacy of end users.

Impact

The physical parts of the IoT such as sensors, actuators and wired communications are, in general, mature and well established in the market. However, wireless solutions, despite having greater benefits of use, flexibility, mobility, weight reduction and maintenance, have not yet managed to penetrate properly. These solutions are still considered unreliable, particularly when the application has privacy and security requirements.

Building trust in wireless solutions and increasing their social acceptance is one of the biggest challenges to achieve the full potential of the Internet of Things. SCOTT aims to generate cost-effective, end-to-end secure, reliable connectivity and interoperable wireless solutions to attack this last mile of market access. In parallel, SCOTT will liaise with key players in the different industrial domains to exploit multi-domain synergies and strengthen Europe's position in the emerging field of secure Internet of Things.

Success stories

The use cases of the RAIL scope in the project that apply this HTNE, and that can be partially seen in the laboratory are the following:
STCC (Smart Train Composition Coupling) [https://scottproject .eu/uc13-smart-train-composition-coupling /] in order to obtain a better control of the minimum distance to be established between trains. The IoT D&F network provides train integrity information.
AWN L&M (Autonomous Wireless Network for rail Logistics and Maintenance) [https://scottproject .eu/uc12-autonomous-wireless-network-for-rail-logistics-and-maintenance /] in which new communication capabilities are improved and implemented, both for the OnTrack infrastructure and for the OnBoard equipment itself. The D&F network collects environmental, vibration and railcar impact data.
The project will be completed with the complete documentation of a final demonstrator in a relevant environment (train).
