Safety in connected and automated road traffic
A first step towards a catalogue of generally valid investigation and evaluation criteria for driver assistance systems and automated driving functions is the joint project "SivaS – Safety of Networked and Automated Road Traffic", which started on 1 April 2023 and is led by TU Dresden.
The Chair of Automobile Engineering as well as the Chair of Integrated Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering headed by Prof. Regine Gerike represent the TU Dresden in the project. Other partners are FSD Fahrzeugsystemdaten GmbH, Dresden/Radeberg and the City of Hoyerswerda (Lusatia). The SivaS project has a total volume of 1.8 million euros. It is 80 percent funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport as part of the mFUND innovation initiative.
The new "City Co-Creation Lab" in Hoyerswerda – a joint contact office of the City of Hoyerswerda and the TU Dresden – is a contact point for citizens who want to find out more about the SivaS project and the Smart Mobility Lab being planned by the TU Dresden near Hoyerswerda and get involved in formats. The official handover of the keys took place on 21 April.
