Virtual guinea pigs multiply traffic potential
As part of the DigiT4-TAF-BW project, the Research Center for Information Technology in Karlsruhe is creating a digital twin of the Baden-Württemberg autonomous driving test field in order to virtually test groundbreaking mobility concepts, literally, so that all road users can continue to move safely in their everyday lives.

The use of digitalisation, and in particular artificial intelligence, could significantly reduce the negative effects of today's transport system without compromising the quality of individual mobility. At least that is the theory of the scientists at the Research Center for Information Technology (FZI) in Karlsruhe. To prove this, they have launched a project with the cryptic name ‘DigiT4-TAF-BW’. The aim is to create a digital twin of the Baden-Württemberg autonomous driving test site to provide a platform for testing various technologies. The goal of the project is to develop new mobility concepts and innovation potential and to secure them using intelligent systems.
The different mobility concepts are subjected to a potential analysis in order to evaluate them from different perspectives and to derive the required recommendations for action. Furthermore, a bicycle simulator is being developed to examine the interaction with vulnerable road users more closely and to integrate it seamlessly into the mobility concepts.
The FZI is developing a virtual replica of the test site in a simulation environment and is working on a framework that will make it possible to easily expand this digital twin in the future and adapt it to emerging requirements. In addition, the FZI is examining the security concept of digitisation in road traffic by identifying and evaluating threats to road users and traffic infrastructure in the context of cyber security.
