A Study on the Development and Utilization of One-Person-One-Mobility Educational Platform for Human Resources Development in Autonomous Mobility

The automotive industry is experiencing an unprecedented paradigm shift driven by technological advancements.The traditional internal combustion engine-based automotive sector is rapidly transitioning to the future mobility industry, characterized by eco-friendly power sources such as electric and hydrogen vehicles and Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs).However, Workforce training in emerging transportation technologies is constrained by the substantial investment required for advanced sensing platforms, making practical education difficult to achieve.Most universities find it challenging to conduct autonomous driving practice using real vehicles, and even educational equipment such as 1/5-scale models often needs to be shared among multiple students, limiting their ability to gain sufficient hands-on experience with mobility technologies.To address these issues, it is crucial to establish cost-effective platforms that enable one-to-one mobility education and utilize virtual twin technology to provide realistic simulation environments.This study aims to reduce the cost of autonomous mobility education while offering effective training opportunities for students.The proposed approach involves a progressive system starting from Arduino-based model cars, advancing to ROS-based model cars, utilizing virtual twin simulators for autonomous driving software development, and finally implementing 1/5-scale autonomous driving platforms resembling real vehicles.The study evaluates the outcomes of building a comprehensive 1:1 mobility platform, providing insights into its effectiveness for future mobility education and workforce development.
