Roadside Infrastructure

Application

  • Supply of highly accurate real-time reference data from road users for connected and automated vehicles in the test field
  • Long-term collection and storage of real traffic data for the development and safeguarding of automated driving functions
  • Long-term collection and storage of raw sensor data for the development and safeguarding of automated driving functions
  • Evaluation and analysis of connected and automated driving functions in real traffic and in simulation/in the digital twin

Technical Data

Stationary infrastructure sensor technology

  • Test field Campus Melaten: 46 stationary infrastructure measuring stations along an urban circuit of 2.4 km length
  • Test field B56 Aldenhoven: 11 stationary infrastructure measuring stations along a 1 km section of rural road
  • Test field A44 freeway junction Jackerath: 11 stationary infrastructure measuring stations along a 1 km section of highway
  • Sensor technology: two 4K dome cameras and two 128-layer rotary laser scanners (LiDARs) are used per measuring station
  • Telematics: each measuring station is equipped with a V2X Roadside Unit as well as a C-V2X capable 4G cellular module and a Wi-Fi module
  • Mounting height of the sensor system: 6 m above road surface
  • Acquisition of position, speed, acceleration, heading, dimensions and class of each road user at a recording rate of 10-20 Hz
  • Processing of standardized V2X messages (e.g. CAM, CPM, DENM)

Mobile infrastructure sensor technology

  • 4 fully self-sufficient mobile measuring stations as well as a fully self-sufficient mobile server for individual collection of raw sensor data at selected road sections
  • Construction in the form of trailers with hydraulically extendable mast
  • Mounting height of the sensor system: 8 m above road surface
  • Sensor technology: two 4K dome cameras and two 128-layer rotary laser scanners are used per measuring station
  • Telematics: each mobile measuring station is equipped with a 4G cellular module and a Wi-Fi module
  • Recording rates: LiDARs 10-20 Hz, cameras 10-25 Hz
  • Integrated automated anonymization of raw sensor data on the mobile server - No collection of personal data
