What is the Smart Mobility Lab?
The Smart Mobility Lab (SML) is a new innovative and interdisciplinary research center at TU Dresden. It also marks the start of the TU Dresden's Lausitz research campus in the immediate vicinity of Hoyerswerda. With a very large test hall (floor area: 100 x 100 m without columns, clear height: 30 m), extensive outdoor test areas (including a driving and landing area approx. 75 x 75 m), state-of-the-art laboratories (e.g. climate hall, electromagnetic absorber hall) and workshops as well as flexible office and conference areas, the SML offers perfect conditions for basic research and application-oriented research in the field of mobility solutions of the future.
Where is the Smart Mobility Lab being built?
The Smart Mobility Lab is being built on an approx. 38,000 m² site in the “Schwarzkollm/Laubusch” industrial estate in Schwarzkollm, a district of Hoyerswerda. The SML will be completed by the end of 2026, with TU Dresden acting as the client.
What research priorities does the Smart Mobility Lab address?
Future research at the SML will focus on automated and networked mobility solutions in the areas of motor vehicles, aircraft and agricultural machinery as well as robotics for a wide range of applications. These are the following projects:
- SivaS (Sicherheit des vernetzten und automatisierten Straßenverkehrs),
- TAFAS (Testcenter für automatisiertes Fliegen und autonome System),
- FarmingSwarm-Cobots (automatisierte Landwirtschaft mit autonomen Landmaschinen und gemischten Feldschwärmen),
- TERECULT (produktive Kulturlandschaften mit Rekultivierungsrobotik).
The SML will be equipped with a variety of simulators: highly dynamic driving simulator, static driving simulator, bicycle simulator, pedestrian simulator (omnidirectional treadmill). The networking of these simulators creates a cyber-physical environment for scenario-based research, development and validation. A combination with real tests and the real laboratory in Hoyerswerda (traffic observation) is also possible.
