Workshop on Advanced Computing for Connected and Automated Vehicles

Mailhiot, Christian M.; Severa, William M.; Moen, Christopher D.; Jones, Troy

To safely and reliably operate without a human driver, connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) require more advanced computing hardware and software solutions than are implemented today in vehicles that provide driver-assistance features. A workshop was held to discuss advanced microelectronics and computing approaches that can help meet future energy and computational requirements for CAVs. Workshop questions were posed as follows: will highly automated vehicles be viable with conventional computing approaches or will they require a step-change in computing; what are the energy requirements to support on-board sensing and computing; and what advanced computing approaches could reduce the energy requirements while meeting their computational requirements? At present, there is no clear convergence in the computing architecture for highly automated vehicles. However, workshop participants generally agreed that there is a need to improve the computing performance per watt by at least 10x to advance the degree of automation. Participants suggested that DOE and the national laboratories could play a near-term role by developing benchmarks for determining and comparing CAV computing performance, developing public data sets to support algorithm and software development, and contributing precompetitive advancements in energy efficient computing.

H2FIRST: A partnership to advance hydrogen fueling station technology driving an optimal consumer experience

Moen, Christopher D.; Dedrick, Daniel E.; Pratt, Joseph W.; Balfour, Bruce B.; Noma, Edwin Y.; Somerday, Brian P.; San Marchi, Christopher W.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Office of Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO) is establishing the Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Research and Station Technology (H2FIRST) partnership, led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). FCTO is establishing this partnership and the associated capabilities in support of H2USA, the public/private partnership launched in 2013. The H2FIRST partnership provides the research and technology acceleration support to enable the widespread deployment of hydrogen infrastructure for the robust fueling of light-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). H2FIRST will focus on improving private-sector economics, safety, availability and reliability, and consumer confidence for hydrogen fueling. This whitepaper outlines the goals, scope, activities associated with the H2FIRST partnership.

Risk-informed separation distances for hydrogen gas storage facilities

Keller, Jay O.; Ruggles, Adam J.; Dedrick, Daniel E.; Moen, Christopher D.; Evans, Gregory H.; LaChance, Jeffrey L.; Winters, William S.; Houf, William G.; Zhang, Jiayao Z.

The use of risk information in establishing code and standard requirements enables: (1) An adequate and appropriate level of safety; and (2) Deployment of hydrogen facilities are as safe as gasoline facilities. This effort provides a template for clear and defensible regulations, codes, and standards that can enable international market transformation.
