    On November 13, 2019, the 1st Digibus® Demoday, an information and networking event for a trade audience, took place at the ÖAMTC Driving Technology Center Teesdorf. In addition to Digibus® demo rides, newly developed and proven technologies for passenger communication, V2X communication and high-precision positioning on site could be tried out and experienced.   The following demos were presented on site by Digibus® project partners: V2X Communication Project partner Kapsch TrafficCom AG presented a V2X communication for networked vehicles based on ITS-G5: V2X enables the Digibus® to communicate with its environment. So sends e.g. a V2X roadside unit, which was integrated into a traffic light system, the traffic light phase to the V2X onboard unit in the Digibus®. Thus, the Digibus® knows whether it is red (bus stops) or green (bus can drive). In addition, a defective vehicle was simulated as an obstacle. The vehicle was also equipped with a V2X onboard unit and was […]

    […] all test drives with self-driving vehicles on public roads is an obligatory operator on board, who can intervene at any time. For the first time ever, Salzburg Research sent the Digibus® at the Salzburgring alone on 19 September. A supervisor in a control center paid attention to safety. This is only the second driverless test worldwide with a self-propelled EasyMile shuttle. The objective of the scientific study by Salzburg Research was to test the subjective sense of security of the test persons as well as the information and communication between the passengers and the driverless vehicle as well as with the control center. The subjects completed different test scenarios and were also confronted with unpleasant situations: in one scenario, they sat all alone in the self-propelled shuttle, in another with two, but with a groaning passenger. It also examined how the subjects organize when the masimum number of passengers is exceeded. Also a technical […]
