Motivation and Project Goals

Within the AUTOtech.agil project, a software and hardware architecture for future mobility systems is being created to actively shape the transformation of road traffic. The potential of automation and digitalization will be used to increase traffic safety and efficiency. In the context of the project, this potential will be exploited to the best possible extent through comprehensive networking of all traffic participants. More detailed information can be found in the project sheet of the DLR.

In the project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Institute of Automotive Technology contributes to the mobility system of the future with its expertise in the field of teleoperation. In teleoperation, a human operator takes control of the automated vehicle as soon as it can no longer continue automation. To support the selection of the control concept for teleoperation, the intelligent vehicle will first determine its own state through a self-analysis in the event of automation failure. In addition, a shared control approach will be implemented to improve the safety of all traffic participants during teleoperation, using control rooms and intelligent infrastructure. It will also be possible to carry out sovereign interventions in the mobility system using a municipal control center. For example, the control center will perform the formation of rescue lanes, closure of road sections, or obtain an overview over situations using sensor data from automated vehicles and intelligent infrastructure.
