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 TU Dresden's Lausitz research campus in the immediate vicinity of Hoyerswerda. With a very large test hall (floor area: 100 x 100 m column-free, 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 core research areas 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 (Safety of connected and automated road traffic),
- TAFAS (Test Center for Automated Flying and Autonomous Systems),
- FarmingSwarm-Cobots (automated agriculture with autonomous agricultural machinery and mixed field swarms),
- TERECULT (productive cultural landscapes with recultivation robotics).
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. In addition, a combination with real experiments and the real laboratory in Hoyerswerda (traffic observation) is possible.
