Problem statement
The SAVeNoW project explores the development and commissioning of a digital twin using the example of Ingolstadt and its surroundings. The virtual model includes static elements (buildings, road space, traffic infrastructure and rules), dynamic elements (vehicles, VRUs) and environmental conditions (weather). On the basis of the developed digital twin, interdisciplinary questions can be investigated, focusing on the domain of functional and traffic safety for automated and connected driving.
Project objective
The goal of SAVeNoW is to research, develop and test the digital twin through two interlocking control loops (see figure). The digital test field represents the real city, which is transferred into a virtual image by means of surveys, fleet data and IoT sensor technology. This virtual test field can be used for analyses and simulation applications that support the derivation of measures for reality. The Chair of Geoinformatics is particularly involved in building the cloud architecture, implementing "what-if" scenarios by cloning the digital twin, building a catalog service, and data model extension for simulating sensor data streams. In addition, a spatial discussion platform for citizen participation is being investigated for societal dialogue.
Realization
SAVeNoW is structured into the following five work packages:
