Smart Mobility Lab

The business unit smart mobility has a long-term expertise on both secure vehicle-to-X and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. In our lab, the institute’s parking garage as well as different Berlin testbeds, we experiment with realistic simulations of vehicle-to-vehicle-based applications. Apart from our vehicle-oriented work, we do research on communication technologies such as 5G and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enable autonomous driving. In addition to that, we road-test our simulated data under real life conditions using camera/lidar-equipped cars.

To cope with future mobility’s demands, it is not sufficient to solely take single vehicles into consideration. Researchers, therefore, work on a holistic-connected traffic planning that involves pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation. Only by this, a sustainable and user-centered future mobility can be ensured.

Eidos Road Glancr-App: Crowdsourcing app provides data for mobility and mapping services

Mobility with comprehensive road space and mobility detection

 

The urban digital twin offers a unique, tried-and-tested platform for high-precision mapping, analysis, and simulation of urban road space and the mobility that takes place within it—in real-time, scalable, and interoperable.

  • Comprehensive recording of road space and mobility: Integration of a wide variety of data sources, including OEM crowd data and the innovative, AI-based Eidos Road Glancr-app for continuous, comprehensive, and data protection-compliant traffic space recording via smartphone.
    • Static recording (mobile mapping): Regular inventory of road space, e.g., lane layout, traffic sign register, road condition (ZEB)
    • Dynamic recording (monitoring): Traffic situation, construction sites, closures, parking space occupancy
  • Flexible, multimodal data fusion: Seamless merging and real-time analysis of sensor data from fleet vehicles (taxis, public transport, delivery services, etc.), stationary sensors, crowdsourcing apps, and cross-manufacturer vehicle data.
  • Innovative connectors: Standardized, interoperable real-time data layer enables easy connection and integration of a wide variety of urban data sources and digital twins.
  • AI-supported analysis & forecasting: Automated detection, evaluation, and prediction of changes in the road space (e.g., new construction sites, changed traffic signs, road damage, parking pressure, traffic flow).
  • Scenario simulation: Integration of simulation data for rare and critical events, e.g., traffic accidents or special situations.
  • Web-based, scalable visualization: Highly realistic, interactive 3D visualization of large amounts of spatial data – down to the vehicle level.
  • Cloud architecture & big data: Powerful and secure processing, storage, and analysis in modern cloud and database environments (e.g., MS Azure, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Apache Accumulo).
  • Open standards & protocols: Support for modern interfaces and formats (HTTP/REST, MQTT, Kafka, JSON/GeoJSON, NGSI-LD) for maximum interoperability.

Advantages:

  • Comprehensive, lane-accurate recording of the dynamic road space and all relevant mobility processes – without expensive special hardware.
  • Quick to deploy, scalable, GDPR-compliant.
  • Enables data-driven control, monitoring, and optimization of urban mobility and infrastructure.

Eclipse MOSAIC – Open source simulation environment

The aim of Eclipse MOSAIC is to make the preparation and execution of simulations as easy as possible for the users, hence, a comprehensive framework for simulator integration was created that facilitates the simulation of Smart Mobility scenarios. By coupling different simulators, the multi-aspect simulation environment enables the simulation of the various aspects of future Intelligent transportation systems. Consequently, Eclipse MOSAIC simulations allow the analysis of novel mobility solutions before real field tests start.

Indoor Navigation System

The Smart Mobility indoor navigation system enables pedestrians to navigate themselves through buildings accessibly and precisely – in hospitals, train stations, airports, administration buildings, shopping malls or a big company building complex.
