VLA Traffic and transport continue to be the key economic factors. According to a study performed by the official German Automobile Club (ADAC), traffic jams at German 'Autobahns' are mostly attributable to accidents (33%), road construction (31 ...
GermanyWithin this project, the currently emerging legal standards for emissions measurements under realistic conditions on the road should be tested. In addition, complementary standard measurements on a bench are carried out. The aim is to verify the complianc ...
GermanyThe increasing density of traffic in the road transport sector caused a steady increase in emissions from heavy trucks. In the mid-term, heavy trucks will be the main source of CO2 emissions in surface transport. Effective measures for fuel efficiency and ...
GermanyAlthough major improvements have been made in the past two decades, air quality levels in cities still are of major concern to public health. To achieve a further reduction in citizens' exposure to air pollutants, lowering the exhaust emissions from ...
GermanyThe transport sector is currently responsible for approx. 30% of final energy consumption and 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. In this context, road transport accounts for the largest share. In recent years, road freight transport in particular ...
GermanyThe small-scale commercial traffic models used in planning practice do not reflect the large range of tradesmen's services and the predominantly used light commercial vehicles in a sufficiently differentiated manner. This applies in particular to the ...
GermanyImproving road safety and reducing the number of road accidents, and thus the number of fatalities and injuries in this area, has been a key objective of the Federal Government for many years. Particularly at interfaces of different responsibilities in th ...
GermanyFUE Driver assistance systems can only support the driver intelligently if the system has access to adequate information concerning the vehicle and the road, and particularly concerning objects and obstacles in the vehicle environment. The use of differen ...
GermanyFVM Driver assistance systems offer a considerable potential for improving driving safety and comfort. In designing systems to realise this potential successfully, several important issues concerning the human-machine interaction arise and need to be cons ...
GermanySTA Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems regulating headway and speed for freeway and rural highway driving are just entering the market in the latest vehicle series. In the future, it is also desirable to utilize the advantages of this technology under ...
GermanyVAS About 85 percent of all traffic accidents are attributable to driver distraction, fatigue, and perceptual errors. A large proportion of these accidents could be avoided or at least reduced in severity by active safety systems. In particular, assistanc ...
GermanyVESUV A computer-assisted image recognition of a warning system in a vehicle has to react potentially much faster than a human being. Hence, there are clear consequences for the nature of the selection of concepts and procedures deployed for problem resol ...
GermanySimTD simTD is pursuing the following principle objectives: Increased road safety and improved efficiency of the existing traffic system through the use of car-to-x communication Definition and validation of a roll-out scenario for the identified function ...
GermanyIn particular, in the context of research on local transport, numerous basic questions on gondola systems and demand-driven bus systems were discussed in the context of test operations. A transfer to today's autonomous system concepts, i. e. the comb ...
GermanyVorreiter Mobility is an important factor in our everyday lives. Therefore, new, advanced systems of human-technology interaction should be developed to make mobility safer, more comfortable and reliable. Semi-automated vehicles have the potential to make ...
GermanyABALID Cyclists and pedestrians are damaged in 20% of all accidents with trucks. The most serious accidents occur at the crossroads when the truck turns right. The main cause of these accidents is the very limited field of vision of truck drivers, which i ...
GermanyThe main objective of the 5G NetMobil project is to develop a comprehensive communication infrastructure for tactile connected driving and to demonstrate the advantages of tactile connected driving in terms of traffic safety, traffic efficiency and enviro ...
GermanyIn order to meet the growing demands on efficiency, precision and safety in the operation of agricultural and construction machinery in the future, automated- and in future autonomous working- plays an important role. However, in contrast to road traffic, ...
GermanyCERM is an interdisciplinary center for the development and assessment of connected mobility. CERM establishes a holistic tool chain to validate connected mobility systems focusing on controlled field tests. CERM aims to achieve the following aims:- Provi ...
GermanyCoInCiDE CoInCIDE, is a German national project national funded by DFG in SPP 1835. The program focuses on intrinsically correct control of cooperating vehicles. The two main aspects are timing of decision making and communication between the cooperating ...
