@City (Automated Cars and Intelligent Traffic in the City) focuses on autonomous driving and intelligent traffic in the city. The goal is not only to support the driver in urban traffic in the best way possible, but also consider the interaction between the car and other (vulnerable) road users. The environment in the city changes rapidly and therefore, conventional methods which are already used in structured and predictable settings like highways, can not be applied to the urban environment.

The goal of @City is the development and the validation of  high performing and robust algorithms for the prediction of different scenarios and the representation of the urban environment. Based on the results, new and advanced driver assistance systems for the city are designed, which support the driver with high precision information and take into account the short response times in urban traffic. Additionally, a common understanding of automated driving in the city is developed, which for example defines a set of minimum functionality and safety-relevant aspects.
