Brief description: The requirements for the realization of automated driving in urban environments are complex and encompass the fields of automotive, traffic engineering, information and communication technology, and computer science. The development activities of many players from these fields must be brought together and solutions simulated and tested jointly.
Important resources for this are: Development and simulation tools, networked or automated passenger and commercial vehicles, infrastructure components, test corridors, driving simulators, experimental and test facilities, and the associated data and documents. These resources and the services, processes and interfaces associated with them are functionally very heterogeneous and often distributed in terms of space, time and organization.
An interdisciplinary consolidation of development activities based on these resources, but also of testing measures in test corridors, requires an adequate linking of these resources. The joint project REMAS addresses this challenge and lays the scientific and technical foundations in the context of highly automated urban traffic. This includes methods for the integration of such resources via a new simulation middleware, for the support and real-time coordination of trips and driving maneuvers, and for the monitoring of critical system properties. A novel information model is the core of a cooperation platform with a link to the real traffic system and the tools, vehicles and components involved in the development process.
REMAS thus serves to harness system, method and technology knowledge and to develop it further into new products and services. It thus contributes to opening up the innovation potential of intelligent traffic systems for the Saxon economy.
The Chair of Traffic Control Systems and Process Automation is concerned with the implementation of a hybrid simulation environment from a traffic system perspective, and in particular with the integration of microscopic traffic flow simulation.
