Traffic Regulator Detection and Identification from Crowdsourced Data

Mapping with surveying equipment is a time-consuming and cost-intensive procedure that makes the frequent map updating unaffordable. In the last few years, much research has focused on eliminating such problems by counting on crowdsourced data, such as GPS traces. An important source of information in maps, especially under the consideration of forthcoming self-driving vehicles, is the traffic regulators. This information is largely lacking in maps like OpenstreetMap (OSM) and this research is motivated by this fact.

USEfUL

Due to its location at the center of Europe and the global operating companies, logistics and mobility have always been of outstanding importance in Hanover, a city rebuilt car-friendly after the war. A growing city is associated with increasing mobility and supply needs as well as an individually and systemically caused need of logistics for supply and disposal.

Visual communication to control route choice behavior

The individual choice of transport modality and route depends on a number of factors. In particular, information about the expected traffic situation is considered important. It should therefore be examined whether the mediation of the current and the anticipated situation on site (including the indication of certain securities) leads to the choice of a different route or even a different modality.

Deep learning of user behavior in road space - particularly in shared spaces

The project aims to investigate the behaviour of different road users in unregulated spaces, i.e. spaces open to all road users. Existing approaches are based on a given movement model, which describes the individual behaviour as well as the interactive behaviour of different road users.
