Cooperative behavior is essential for ensuring safety and comfort in shared traffic spaces. While human drivers can often identify behavioral cues from other road users to predict their movements, autonomous vehicles lack this ability. This is particularly problematic in interactions with vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists. The goal of this project is to develop, evaluate, and compare various methods for forecasting cyclist trajectori...

Since 2021, six highly automated minibuses have been operating on public roads in the Upper Franconian cities of Hof, Kronach and Rehau and Bad Steben. The goal is to address important research questions for driverless local public transport by establishing shuttle operations in public transport, as the mobility sector faces major challenges to achieve CO2 reduction targets. The combination of digital innovations and locally emission-free drives ...

The WIR! project “5G-4-Rail” at the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC) is to investigate how the 5G mobile radio standard can replace the previous system "GSM-R" (Global System for Mobile Communication - Rail) in the railway sector in the future and also be used for more extensive, future application areas in the railway system of the future like autonomous driving. The motivation lies in the fact that, on the one hand, GSM-R will be phase...
