Mirko Taubenreuther, Head of Department Longitudinal and Lateral Assistance, IAV GmbH (Ingenieurgesellschaft Auto und Verkehr Chemnitz)

IAV currently participates in multiple projects within the scope of the Saxon initiative “Synchronized Mobility 2023”. One major focus is the development and prototypical realization of cooperative driving functions in urban environments. Cooperative driving functions allow for automated and anticipatory driving while providing the foundation for automatically resolving more complex traffic situations. More concretely, cooperative driving functions facilitate active collaborations between multiple Highly Automated Driving (HAD) vehicles as well as HAD vehicles and infrastructure services. In 2016, a first real-world use case comprising a cooperative slowing-down process was successfully realized and demonstrated in the Testbed Dresden. Within this talk, we will introduce this use case in more detail. Furthermore, we will give a brief overview of additional urban use cases that are currently under investigation and planned to be demonstrated in the Testbed Dresden in the future.
