Challenge

The limited traffic space in metropolitan areas such as Munich poses major challenges for cities. Targeted traffic control and influencing traffic behavior are crucial for a modern, efficient, and sustainable transportation system. Innovative technologies such as automated and connected driving play a central role in this.

Solution

As part of the TEMPUS project, the City of Munich and the Free State of Bavaria have set up a cross-regional test area for automated and connected driving in the north of Munich. The aim is to investigate the impact of these technologies on traffic efficiency, safety, and public acceptance.

Okari GmbH is supporting the project by:
  • Development of traffic strategies between the Free State of Bavaria and the state capital Munich in the vicinity of the test track based on existing strategies and the requirements for automated and connected driving
  • Coordination with vehicle operators and third parties in the digitization of strategies and provision of data
  • Creation of a catalog of requirements, based on use cases, for data processing, organizational and operational processes, and roles for the system architecture
  • Setup and testing of a cross-regional system architecture
  • Development of an organizational and business model
  • Quality assurance and evaluation of feasibility

Added value

The TEMPUS test field offers the opportunity to test and evaluate a wide variety of use cases relating to automated driving functions and innovative mobility services – both for private transport and local public transport. This will provide important insights for the future of urban mobility.
