Setup of a test intersection for automated and connected driving
The goal of the project was to build and permanently operate a (separated & not road traffic regulations-compliant) test field for automated and connected driving, consisting of a test intersection including the necessary intersection-side infrastructure (associated partner Siemens) such as traffic areas, traffic light systems, sensor technology, and V2X communication infrastructure.
On the test environment, a wide variety of trials for automated driving are conducted – particularly in interaction with „vulnerable road users“ such as cyclists and pedestrians.
Development and testing in a secure test environment
The test intersection is used to test, validate, and certify automated and connected vehicles in a safe environment (together with the associated partner TÜV SÜDbefore the developed vehicle control algorithms are evaluated and tested in real-world traffic.
The AVF is used here Technical University of Munich as well as existing AVFs from the project partners Technische Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and EasyMile.
Particular focus is placed on networking, communication, and interaction with traffic infrastructure as well as with vulnerable road users.
For greater safety and efficiency in the interaction between humans and vehicles
The objective of the project is to make interactions between vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, and automated vehicles safer.
Furthermore, automated vehicles – for example, automated shuttle buses in public transport – are to be integrated more efficiently into existing traffic systems.
Construction of the test intersection in Ottobrunn near Munich
The test intersection is currently being set up in Ottobrunn, south of Munich, together with IABG and the Free State of Bavaria.
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
