KoTAM – Coordination of the autonomous mobility test fields in Germany

The Coordination of the autonomous mobility test fields aims to create synergies between the various development priorities of the operators and the responsible federal states. The aim is to analyse and pool the experience gained in the various test fields and to create a common knowledge base.

Based on a concept of the federal-state working group set up in 2020 for the nationwide coordination of test field activities for autonomous mobility, the states of Lower Saxony, Baden-Württemberg, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia have joined forces to promote targeted coordination.

The DLR-Institute of Transportation Systems is responsible for the implementation of the project, which is initially scheduled to run for two years and is dedicated in particular to the topics of data protection, data security and infrastructure. The many years of experience gained from the development of the Test Bed Lower Saxony for automated and connected mobility, the findings from the support of the BASt in the development of the test field monitor and the excellent networking of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with project participants from science, industry and the public sector are particularly helpful here.

Project title:
KoTAM - Coordination of the autonomous mobility test fields in Germany

Duration:
06/2022 to 06/2024

Contracting authority:
Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Bauen und Digitalisierung

The promotion of a targeted exchange between test field operators, decision-makers and mobility experts is a central component of the coordination activities. Key topics relating to the status quo and the future of test fields are presented and discussed at an event in each of the four participating federal states and at the end of the project in Berlin.
