DigiT4TAF-BW
Digital twin of the Test Area Autonomous Driving Baden-Württemberg
Start: 01/2024
End: 12/2025

Digitalization, especially Artificial Intelligence, can significantly reduce the current adverse effects of the transport system without compromising the quality of individual mobility. In this project, a digital twin of the Test Area Autonomous Driving Baden-Württemberg is being created to provide a platform for testing various technologies. The aim is to develop new mobility concepts and innovation potential and to safeguard them using intelligent systems.
The different mobility concepts are examined for their potential to evaluate them from various perspectives and derive the required recommendations for action. Furthermore, a bicycle simulator is set up to explore the interaction with vulnerable road users in more detail and to integrate it seamlessly into the mobility concepts.
Role of the FZI
The FZI is responsible for developing a virtual replica of the test area in a simulation environment and is working on a framework that will allow this digital twin to be easily expanded in the future and adapted to emerging requirements. The FZI is also investigating the security concept of digitalization in road traffic by identifying and evaluating threats to road users and traffic infrastructure in the context of cyber security.
