TABASCO, Telematics

Applications in Bavaria, Scotland and others

The TABASCO project validated multi-modal information and control system implemented in cities and in their surrounding regions and assessed the integration of these systems to produce a more effcient transport systems as a whole. The main telematics systems demonstrated are control strategies and systems for traffic management, public transport traveller and park&ride information, incident warning, interconnection of traffic information and control centres.

UDC, Urban Drive Control

The intention behind this project is to integrate environment and city management with individual drivers interests, by combining remote driving speed recommendations with autonomous longitudinal control of vehicles. The objective is to integrate traffic management and vehicle longitudinal control. It will use Short Range Communication technology transmitting driving speed recomrnendations via road side beacons to vehicles equipped with Autonomous Cruise Control

RESPONSE

Telematics Based Driver Assistance Systems are currently under development. Future Driver Assistance Systems may control the driving of the car to an extent where the driver is switched off incertain traffic situations and the control of the car is taken over by the systems. RESPONSE pays attention to a number of questions beyond their technical feasibility, like consumer perspectives, dependability of the systems, impact of existing rules and legal considerations

Autonomous Driving

The aim of this project is to automate the durability tests of ordinary mass-produced cars on a special course. This approach is motivated by the fact that after several years of driving, human drivers can be affected by extreme strain. This application also provides a first step to obtain an electronic co-pilot for all traffic situations. Thus, a concept is developed which include a test vehicle being driven by a robot observing its surroundings to avoid obstacles, and overruling the vehicle control by the electronic copilot in case of an emergency.
