Mobility services for autonomous driving
We are researching how safety-critical mobility services for autonomous driving can be realized economically.
Gaia-X 4Advanced Mobility Services (Gaia-X 4 AMS)
The Gaia-X 4AMS research project aims to develop innovative mobility solutions for autonomous driving based on the Gaia-X data ecosystem. Gaia-X enables sovereign and decentralized data exchange between companies, vehicles and the traffic infrastructure. A central aspect of the project is the secure integration of data from different sources in order to increase efficiency and safety in modern mobility services. The focus is on communication between networked vehicles, intelligent traffic control and the establishment of rescue corridors in emergency situations.
The project brings together leading players from industry and research to drive forward the technological development of mobility services. The aim is to create a robust, interoperable and scalable mobility ecosystem by linking advanced technologies such as lidar, radar and AI-based systems. The decentralized approach of Gaia-X strengthens data protection and the data sovereignty of all partners involved.
Gaia-X 4AMS thus contributes to shaping a sustainable and safe future of mobility by enabling innovative applications for connected and autonomous transportation on a pan-European scale.
Our research work
We focus on the development of a decentralized system architecture for a non-discriminatory data ecosystem supported by techno-economic role models. In particular, we address the following research questions:
- Which institutions, roles and functions are necessary to create a non-discriminatory system architecture for autonomous mobility services?
- How must the governance of a decentralized data ecosystem be designed to ensure efficient and effective cooperation between the players?
- What economic incentives and policies promote the use and provision of data and services in a decentralized data space?
