Virtual Lab (SP7)

• Applicant: Professor Dr.-Ing. Steven Peters
• Subject Area: Traffic and Transport Systems, Intelligent and Automated Traffic
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 523663459

This subproject focuses on the collaborative aspects of the research work being performed in the other subprojects. It aims to answer how a virtual laboratory can help research projects collaborate. To this point multiple tools, collaboration use cases are examined within the course of MiRoVa and evaluated with respect to their usability and effect on the project. Key use cases examined are overviewing and exploration of results. While the first is concerned with identifying patterns, trends, and potential areas of interest, the second is concerned with exploiting the elements and gaining new research insight from them. A further collaboration use case of the is the virtual exploration of (migration-tolerant) interaction and cooperation, here the interaction and cooperation between ADS and other traffic participants are explored virtually in the context of the virtual laboratory, by enabling human-machine interaction with ADS in selected scenarios in an AR/VR environment. In this role, SP7 also fulfills the vital role as an infrastructure subproject, as it not only observes collaboration, but also provides the needed technology and support to the other subprojects. In this scope SP7 further is the stage for collaborative implementation of the integrated simulation model.
