REAL LAB CAMPUS FREECITY
Real lab for the research of a networked fleet of modular robot vehicles.
EXPLORING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF THE EDAG CITYBOT
THE WAY TO FUTURE MOBILITY
FRANKFURT – DEUTSCHE BANK PARK
When: November 2021 to March 2024
Where: Deutsche Bank Park
AUGMENTED REALITY
Compared to the EDAG CityBot test lab in Fulda, the research Campus FreeCity project in the spacious, semi-public grounds of the Deutsche Bank Park makes increased demands on the highly automated EDAG CityBots.
- contact with pedestrians and delivery vehicles
- no complete control at this site
- large area with buildings and traffic dynamics
- longer distances to travel with various complication zones
- greater demands on sensors, data processing and systems
- great public interest surrounding Bundesliga soccer team Eintracht Frankfurt
”History is being made in the Campus FreeCity project. In this real lab, we and the other project partners can test and further develop the EDAG CityBots in an overall system that works around the clock. For a completely new chapter in urban mobility.
Johannes Barckmann, EDAG CityBot Concept & Product Owner
In the 2.5 years it has been running, the Campus FreeCity research project sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMDV) has, on a laboratory scale, been developing and testing the vision of a multifunctional, highly automated fleet of robots for extensive mobility, transport and service tasks in the smart city.
