For urban automated and connected driving The goal of the project is to form and run a long-term test field for (separate and not StVO bound) automated and connected driving that encompasses a test junction including the necessary infrastructure such as traffic circulation areas (associated partner Siemens), light signals (LSA), sensors and V2X-Communication infrastructure. On this test field, diverse experiments on automated driving, especially with an interaction with vulnerable road users (VRUs) like cyclists and pedestrians will take place. The objective of this project is to test,validate and certify automated and connected vehicles (AVF) in a safe setting (in collaboration with TÜV Süd) before the developed vehicle steering algorithms are evaluated on real roads.The AVF of the TUM as well as the existing AVF of the College of Augsburg (HSA) and EasyMile. The focal point lies in connection, communication and interaction with the transport infrastructure and VRUs. The test junction allows for a strong connection and integration within MCube and will additionally act as a promoting platform for connected interdisciplinary research at the TUM that builds upon existing junctions such as the Digital Knot 4.0 Braunschweig or the intelligent knot of the research project TEMPUS (connected via the associated partner The City of Munich).
