Test Field autonomous driving Baden-Württemberg


Goal

On the test field, technologies of networked and automated driving can be tested in everyday, public road traffic. Among other things, various types of traffic areas were prepared, high-precision 3D maps were generated, sensors for real-time recording of traffic and its influencing factors were installed, and systems for anonymizing and quickly transferring the recorded data were provided.

Applications

  • Automated driving functions; passenger car, truck, bus
  • Automated work & driving functions (only in urban areas); special vehicles
  • Networked driving functions (V2V, V2I): passenger car, truck, bus, tram
  • Intermodal mobility concepts; passenger cars, public transport, micromobiles
  • Sustainable mobility management
  • Mobility apps and services
  • Barrier-free and open data for services
  • Smart roads
  • Recording and influencing traffic

Framework conditions

Test tracks and zones

  • Motorways (incl. motorway junctions, triangles and junctions)
  • State and federal roads (out of town, speed 60-100)
  • inner-city. Routes with different Speed limits (30, 50, 60, 70, 80) and different number of directional lanes, partly with integrated TRAM route
  • Shared Spaces (walking pace)
  • Parking spaces, multi-storey car parks, underground car parks
  • Bridges and tunnels
  • additional, closed off test area

Technology

Test benches

  • Complete vehicle test benches (passenger cars, trucks, buses), usable as X-in-the-Loop (coupling with simulation)

Simulation tools

  • Vehicle behaviour (driving dynamics, energy)
  • Traffic flow
  • V2X-communication

Test equipment

Road equipment (infrastructure equipment)

  • Sensors for detailed recording of the traffic situation
  • Street weather stations (also mobile)
  • RSUs on light signal systems and variable message signs*

Transmission technology (networking)

  • Covering with LTE mobile radio
  • Partial coverage with 5G technology (planned for the longer term)
  • RSUs (ETSI ITS-G5 / IEEE802.11p) on traffic light systems
  • Infrastructure connection via optical fibre

Provision of information (IT backend)

  • Consolidation and provision of the data collected in the test field
  • Integration of public transport* data
  • highly accurate 3D maps (incl. updates)

Test benches

  • Complete vehicle test stands (passenger cars, trucks, buses), can be used as X-in-the-Loop (coupling with simulation)

Simulation tools

  • Vehicle behaviour (driving dynamics, energy)
  • flow of traffic
  • V2X communication

Status: Establishment / implementation since Oct. 2016 Start of operations May 2018
