According to foreign media reports, on January 9 local time, one of the participants was named testfeld The prospective cooperation project of Niedersachsen (test area of Lower Saxony) has officially started. The project is mainly carried out on a 7-km test track on A39 highway (No. 39 highway) between Wolfsburg konigraut hub and kerelingen City, Germany, and will be responsible for collecting traffic flow information. On the roads operated by DLR, cameras record anonymous data on driving behavior of different types of road users. The project is funded by Lower Saxony and DLR, and VW hopes to use the project to gather new information for assisted driving. (image source: Volkswagen) last year, DLR installed data collection technology along the road, so that the location of all vehicles can be accurately measured to record all traffic incidents, and Volkswagen will use this information to improve driving aid software. The test area is an open R & D platform that provides a unique combination of different test options, such as simulating various traffic flows. Dr. Frank Welsch, chief R & D officer of Volkswagen passenger vehicles, stressed the importance of the test section: "in order to study assisted driving, daily standard traffic data is absolutely necessary. The test area in Lower Saxony not only allows us to collect data in a completely real-world environment, but also enables us to expand the data based on simulation. " Data along the road will be collected anonymously to evaluate the driving path, and specific data of vehicles, such as license plate number or driver's face (features), will not be collected. The driving track is the straight line and curve describing the vehicle movement. In addition to data collection technology, PWLAN technology is also installed along the road to allow direct communication between vehicles and with traffic infrastructure. This v2x technology has become the standard configuration of the new Volkswagen Golf model, and will appear in the id.3 model in the future. The project of testfeld Niedersachsen (test area of Lower Saxony) was started on January 9 local time, and the test area of Lower Saxony was officially opened. The project is funded by the Ministry of economic affairs, labor, transport and digitalization of Lower Saxony and the Ministry of science and culture of Lower Saxony. In addition to Volkswagen, Continental, Wolfsburg AG, IAV GmbH, oecon GmbH, ADAC Niedersachsen / Sachsen Anhalt e.V. and Siemens will also use the survey data of A39 highway section.
