Traffic Process Automation

The Innovation Center for Traffic Process Automation conducts research in the areas of traffic guidance systems, traffic control systems and traffic management in the context of rail- and road-bound traffic. The focus is on traffic telematics, which optimizes traffic flows and makes them as efficient and automated as possible for all road users, while at the same time conserving resources and providing equal opportunities for all stakeholders. In road traffic, an energy-saving driving style is planned by highly automated vehicles using traffic-dependent switched traffic signals, green time predictions, energy-efficient routing, and tailback length estimation, and their practical implementation is implemented with the help of driver assistance systems in public transport.

In the field of passenger and freight transport, methods for optimizing and making usable control technology as well as software and algorithms are developed with the aim of real-time capable application. Together with experts from research, industry and the public sector, software-based solutions are developed and pursued to product maturity in the field of passenger and freight transport and presented as prototypes.
