KoMoDnext – Cooperative mobility in the Düsseldorf II test field
KoMoDnext – Cooperative mobility in the Düsseldorf II test field
The focus of the work in KoMoDnext is on testing automated vehicles on various network sections of the Düsseldorf test field. To this end, the network sections are being prepared for use by automated vehicles and technically expanded so that relevant support data can be communicated to the vehicles.
Research and operational issues are considered and solutions are developed in an interdisciplinary consortium. IT security procedures for communication between infrastructure and vehicles will be implemented, a sensor network of stationary and dynamic measuring units will be set up and redundant communication channels for the transmission of traffic data between road users will be provided. The traffic infrastructure will be made available to the general public to enable research in the field of automated driving in public road traffic and thus accelerate the market launch of these systems.
In this context, DLR is coordinating the work at an intersection with high traffic density (Herzogstraße / Elisabethstraße in Düsseldorf), setting up stationary detection systems and evaluating their benefits for automated vehicles based on test drives with the ViewCar2, which automatically turns left at the intersection and passes multi-lane oncoming traffic.
Infrastructure-supported automated left turn in the digital test field Düsseldorf.
Stationary, camera-based object detection via machine learning method
Hybrid communication via ITS G5, 5G and LTE
Sensor data fusion in the vehicle of latency-related, external data (CPM) and the vehicle's own LiDAR data
Processing of V2X-based traffic light signals (MAPEM and SPATEM)
Concept for the functional safety of automated test vehicles
Impact forecast for automated vehicles on the Düsseldorf transport network
Analysis of possible introduction strategies for automated networked vehicles
Automated manoeuvring of a complex intersection with infrastructure support
In addition to these key points, a scenario with a V2X-based lane closure (DENM) in public transport is being tested together with the NRW police, which requires an automatic lane change to bypass. The automated journey through the test area also includes several junctions and a roadworks site (see project video).
The KoMoDnext project is preparing the next generation of connected driving and creating a central basis for the introduction of automated transport systems in the urban environment. The aim of KoMoDnext is to prepare selected sections for automated level 4 vehicles. The focus is on safeguarding automated driving by developing new control methods using mobile sensor networks and by securing communication between the vehicle and the infrastructure. The video shows an automated left turn through multi-lane oncoming traffic at a busy urban junction. Object information from the traffic infrastructure is taken into account in the sensor data fusion in order to be able to include pedestrians on the turning path and distant vehicles in the opposite lane in the planning at an early stage.
