ÖV-LeitmotiF-KI

Public transport: Standards for the control system connection of automated vehicles using artificial intelligence (ÖV-LeitmotiF-KI)

Autonomous vehicles offer the potential to make traffic in Germany safer. At the same time, autonomous vehicles can have a positive impact on the emerging driver:ing shortage. The use of autonomous vehicles in public transport (ÖV) requires a standardized, organizational and technical integration of these into all operational processes of public transport.

Within the framework of the research project ÖV-LeitmotiF-KI, funded by the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport, a safety-compliant and standardized reference model for the integration of autonomous vehicles in public transport is being developed. For this purpose, roles, tasks as well as cooperations in the context of the interface between vehicle and control system will first be defined. In the following step, operational processes of public transport are described and a comprehensive system architecture is derived. Furthermore, AI potentials for operational processes are identified and a security analysis is performed. Based on the preliminary work, standardized technical interface specifications between the control system, the vehicles and other actors will then be derived. These will then be validated in laboratory and field tests in the autonomous driving test field in Baden-Württemberg. Finally, the findings will be published as an industry standard for the integration of autonomous vehicles into public transport.
