Description

The project aims to research efficient and sustainable transport systems for cities which are further supported by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (e.g., delivery drones). For this purpose, an open simulation framework (AirMobiSim) is being developed which models mobility and energy aspects for air traffic in software. AirMobiSim can be coupled with other frameworks such as Eclipse SUMO or Veins to include road traffic or communication between the road users. With these software models, traffic systems can be evaluated for any scenario.

Beschreibung

Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Erforschung von effizientem und nachhaltigem Verkehr für Städte, der zusätzlich durch unbemannte Luftfahrzeuge (UAVs, z.B. Lieferdrohnen) unterstützt wird. Dazu wird ein offenes Simulationsframework (AirMobiSim) entwickelt, welches Mobilitäts- und Energieaspekte für den Luftverkehr in Software modelliert. AirMobiSim kann mit weiteren Frameworks wie Eclipse SUMO oder Veins gekoppelt werden, um auch Straßenverkehr und Kommunikation zwischen Verkehrsteilnehmern abzubilden. So lassen sich Szenarien beliebiger Komplexität evaluieren.
