Germany’s Capital Region – one big test field
With more than 20 million traffic movements every day on the roads and rails, on water and in the air, the capital region presents a challenging environment for innovative and inter/intramodal solutions. The region has developed into one of Europe’s largest areas for tests and applications in transport telematics.
Home to a varied mix of larger metropolitan areas and smaller rural districts, long distances have to be covered in Brandenburg. This presents a unique opportunity for the integrated development of innovative transport telematics. Innovative projects are already benefiting from this – autonomous buses, intelligent domestic shipping and test fields for drones just to mention a few. Berlin-Brandenburg is well prepared for intelligent mobility.

ALL SET ON THE TESTING TRACK
We’re still racing on the racing track – but mainly to test and develop systems for automated and connected mobility at the DEKRA Technology Center.

How can driverless and automated vehicles be deployed in the country to connect small villages with larger towns and cities?
To what extent could self-driving minibuses become part of public transport in rural areas? With funding to the tune of 1.6 million euros, one research project is seeking to answer this question. The trial operation has already started. Electric-powered minibuses with six seats and a maximum speed of up to 15 km/h are already running in Ostprignitz-Ruppin. And soon they might be seen all over Brandenburg.

TH Wildau is heading the development of a platform for public transport and sharing services as part of the MaaS L.A.B.S project. The platform will offer integrated mobility planning as well as operations control and billing thanks to cross-stakeholder interfaces.
Users can book integrated mobility products combining public transport and sharing services via the MaaS platform. Peer-to-peer sharing offers are actively integrated according to their technical, organisational and transportation features. Exciting stuff!

DIGITIALISING THE WATERWAYS
Digitalisation and new technologies mean new processes and applications. To make inland shipping a more appealing competitor in goods transport, it’s essential that these are tried and tested in real operations.
Funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), the AutonomSOW project is investigating the data basis for automated and autonomous operations on the Spree-Oder-Waterway. Two follow-up projects developed from this plausibility study.
AutonomSOW II focuses on the use of networked driving to increase the efficiency of transport operations on waterways. Thanks to increased transparency and predictability, it should be easier to integrate waterway transport operations into multimodal transport processes. AutonomSOW II started on 01.11.2020 and is funded by the BMVI with 1.5 million euros.
The second project aims to establish a “digital test field” on the Spree-Oder-Waterway. Automated and autonomous driving, remote control, communication, and test field infrastructure are all part of the proposal. It also plans to develop concepts for city logistics with small, autonomous shipping units. A decision regarding the project’s funding is expected in the first quarter of 2021.
