With the Application Platform for Intelligent Mobility (AIM), a large-scale research facility (test areas, simulators, vehicles) unique in Germany has been created with the support of the federal government, the state of Lower Saxony and the city of Braunschweig, which can cover the entire spectrum of transport research. The basic infrastructure is constantly being expanded and adapted to new tasks, depending on the issue at hand. This means that scientific institutions as well as small, medium-sized and large companies can conduct individual research on "their" topics and turn their inventions into innovations.

Part of the Intelligent Mobility Application Platform (AIM)

‘Research Intersection’ – a hub for data collection in the field

DLR has equipped a Braunschweig traffic intersection for research purposes. Stereo cameras record the traffic situation in order to better understand the behaviour of road users and to analyse critical driving situations.

MoSAIC - Laboratory for multi-user simulation

The Modular and Scalable Application Platform for ITS components (MoSAIC) offers a laboratory infrastructure that enables multi-user simulation for designing, developing, and evaluating cooperative and conventional driver assistance systems, as well as for investigating cooperation and interaction between road users.

Reference route – research on Vehicle-2-X communication

New functions of driving assistance systems should be tested not only in virtual traffic simulations, but also under real-time conditions in actual road traffic. With the aim of improving road safety, we have been operating a reference route through Braunschweig since 2014.

Mock-ups - Modular vehicle replica for private vehicles

New vehicle concepts and driving assistance systems must be tested in a safe test environment before they can be used on public roads. DLR operates the flexible, adaptable test platform required to simulate them: the modular mock-up.

Virtual Reality Lab - Testing driver assistance using 360-degree simulation

Before new technologies related to autonomous driving can be used on public roads, they must first be examined in a safe test environment. The Virtual Reality (VR) Lab offers a highly dynamic and realistic 360-degree simulation for testing and evaluating automation and driver assistance functions.

FASCar - Research vehicle for automated driving

Automated driving is a revolution in modern traffic system technology. But in order for driving assistance systems and automated vehicles to be used safely on public roads and contribute to improving road safety, they must be tested under realistic conditions. We conduct these tests using the FASCar research platform.
