STADT:up - Urban Mobility Simulation

Making autonomous driving safe

The pedestrian simulation system collects valuable data for the future interaction between people and vehicles in traffic. For more security and data-based knowledge – created by NMY.

Future of mobility

Top Features

What could a concept for automobile manufacturers, suppliers and the legislature look like? These questions had to be answered in this research project.

Interaction

Autonomous vehicles will significantly interfere with the dynamics of traffic, especially the interaction between cars and pedestrians.

Security

To ensure road safety, scientific studies are essential to analyze the behavior of passers-by.

Verification

How will pedestrians interact in road traffic in the future if they cannot make eye contact with the driver when crossing a street? How will they get around safely in city traffic?

The Pedestrian Simulator System consists of a virtual reality application and an operator panel.

The operator configures a traffic situation in which pedestrians must move in traffic and interact with autonomous vehicles.

Test subjects are placed in a virtual world that replicates a real street and feels so real that authentic pedestrian behavior can be simulated.

This type of data collection is resource-efficient and flexible – a clear advantage of virtual reality in the context of scientific simulation systems.

The simulator is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and contributes to scientific work in the context of automated driving in the city of the future.

The aim is for modern vehicles to be able to interpret inner-city situations as well as humans.
