The success of automated and connected driving in urban areas requires not only simulations and test drives on test sites but also enormous testing effort under real traffic conditions. The Digital Testbed Dresden offers optimal conditions for the multitude of test kilometres and the experience of different traffic scenarios.

The »Synchrone Mobilität 2023« initiative aims at advancing Intelligent Transport Systems. Focusing on automated and connected driving in urban areas, the research and development projects under its umbrella initiate scientific and technological developments and provide comprehensive test facilities. Beyond that, they offer manifold networking and cooperation opportunities for regional, federal and international partners. Financially supported by the automotive industry in Saxony, the projects receive additional funding from the European Union, the State of Saxony and the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI).

In this presentation, we briefly introduce the main objectives and first results of the initiative »Synchrone Mobilität 2023«.
