The system is tested in the laboratory with miniature HGVs.
By Birgit Baustädter Cooperative, autonomous driving on the motorway is the main topic of a joint project between TU Graz and the "Virtual Vehicle" competence centre. Embedded in the Campus Inffeldgasse, researchers are collaborating on developing control algorithms which calculate the right path and the right speed for selfdriving vehicles. , work is being carried out on promising vehicle concepts for both road and track. The competence centre funded by the COMET programme of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency currently employs some 200 staff occupied primarily with developing affordable, safe and ecofriendly vehicles. Daniel Watzenig is head of Electrics/ Electronics & Software at the competence centre and works at TU Graz's Institute of Electrical Measurement and Measurement Signal Processing - . Since 2014 he has been occupied with a project called "TECAHAD - Technology Concepts for Advanced Highly Automated Driving". Last year, together with Martin Horn, head of the Institute of Automation and Control, he brought out the book "Automated driving - safer and more efficient future driving" is responsible for the sub-area of "path planning".
