Implementation visits

Are you:

• a traffic expert, a road authority or a road operator?
• interested in intelligent mobility solutions?
• curious to the innovations of the Automotive Campus in Helmond has to offer?

This implementation visit is designed for you.

Joint innovation in practice 

In a jointly organized implementation visit the Traffic Innovation Centre, TNO and Siemens will show you how synergy and knowledge sharing between market parties, government and research institutes results in innovations. We will showcase the essence of joint innovation in practice. The focus of this visit is on traffic level as well as on system to system level.

Operational traffic management and innovations on traffic level

In a guided tour the Traffic Innovation Centre and the Operation Traffic Management Centre are presented. You will see the traffic operation in practice and in the room next door you will experience how R&D and innovation is connected to the operation of traffic management. The Operation Traffic Innovation Centre is an experimental area where national, regional and local road authorities test intelligent mobility solutions. Experiments occur in a real-life setting, in a real network and in live traffic. That way, impact on traffic and traffic management becomes visible immediately. By this approach traffic safety is increased, traffic flow improved and CO2 emission reduced.

Intelligent mobility solution on intersection level
In the experimental setting of the Traffic Innovation Centre, the companies Siemens and PTV showcase an example of an intelligent mobility solution. Based on the work performed in the H2020 project Co-Exist, they will demonstrate the impact of connected automated driving on the urban environment. Simulations will show the added value of C-ITS on the traffic performance on intersections. During the ITS congress, the same scenario will also be demonstrated in real life in demo16 “Automated driving made safer and more efficient by integrating intelligent roadside infrastructure in mobility solutions”.

Smart, safe & sustainable mobility on system to system level
TNO  will demonstrate the impact of intelligent mobility on city level and show how TNO can help you in good decision making on system-to-system level by overseeing the consequences of a mobility innovation. The balance of a tightrope walker is needed to intervene among all the different vested interests in urban areas and major infrastructures. Any modification to a particular terrain will almost always have an impact on other areas. For instance, you can boost the air quality of a city district by allowing access exclusively to clean trucks or by rerouting all freight traffic. But the two measures turn out quite differently when it comes to accessibility and traffic safety.

By use of an example of a city case and a live demonstration, a TNO expert will show you how sophisticated software, expertise and use of real requisite data (like up-to-date digital maps, traffic flow and demographic data) makes it evident why one solution is better than another.

Please come and experience it yourself.

Joint innovation in practice  

In a jointly organized implementation visit the Traffic Innovation Centre, TNO and Siemens will show you how synergy and knowledge sharing between market parties, government and research institutes results in innovations. Showcasing the essence of joint innovation in practice. The focus of this visit is on vehicle and system level.

Scenario based validation: TNO Streetwise & Siemens Simcenter PreScan

As the number of connected automated driving vehicles will rapidly increase the coming years, a need to guarantee traffic safety based on real-life circumstances on European level arises. TNO has developed a methodology and scenario database, called Streetwise, to facilitate this process. You will get a demonstration of Streetwise and see how it is now integrated with Siemens Simcenter PreScan. This combination provides a unique scenario-based methodology and tooling for validation of CAD. In this way, large scale automated simulation based on real-world scenarios becomes feasible.

Safe and sustainable truck automation by use of HIL setup

To speed up the development of truck automation and platooning TNO has developed a Hardware in The Loop (HIL)setup. In this setup the newly developed algorithms can be tested on the real hardware, by putting the hardware in the loop with multiple simulated trucks. You will get a demonstration of the HIL setup and an insight view.

The HIL setup is used in the European project ENSEMBLE: multi-brand truck platooning. TNO will update you on the progress of truck platooning development on European scale, with promising impact on safety and sustainability. The last demonstration of this subprogram will be on how ITS and communication with intelligent traffic lights can be used to optimize the motor management of a hybrid truck to reduce the emission level.

Innovations driver and traffic perspective

The development of a smart, safe and sustainable traffic system requires more than only the development of intelligent vehicles. The role of the driver, the interaction of the connected automated vehicles with its surrounding traffic and traffic control. TNO will demonstrate its driving simulator and explain how the driver aspects are taken into account in their approach. Further a demonstration will be given of the StreetProof methodology showing how monitoring, safety indicators and services traffic can be used in the transition towards automated driving. Last but not least, the Traffic Innovation Centre will show you how R&D and innovation is connected to the operation of traffic management. You will hear how their mission and approach contributes to increase safety, improve traffic flow and reduce CO2 emission.

Come, see and experience how our integrated approach accelerates smart, safe & sustainable mobility

In order to change habitual traffic behaviour directly, we take another approach by using nudging principles. For which an intelligent system is developed. We as humans react intuitively to environmental cues, processing the information automatically on a more unconscious level and therefore a nudging approach is particularly suitable for supporting our driving tasks.

Heijmans is one of the partners in the European Horizon 2020 project: MeBeSafe. Heijmans is developing the system and is responsible for the installation in the infrastructure. By providing road users feedback only when needed, we aim to improve their driving behaviour in a supporting way. This way we are helping road users to perform better driving behaviour without restricting their freedom of choice or punishing them. In other words, the intelligent system intuitively nudges the traffic of Eindhoven towards safety. By joining this visit you will be one of the first to witness this new approach in an on street situation.

In the course of its 90 year heritage DAF has developed many transport innovations, enabling new standards in efficiency, uptime, emissions, safety and driver comfort. Examples include turbo technology which DAF pioneered in the fifties, turbo-intercooling introduced by DAF as an industry-first in the early seventies and the current PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 drivelines, operating at low engine rpms for industry-leading fuel efficiency and extremely quiet operation.

In 2015, DAF demonstrated truck platooning. The EcoTwin vehicle system enabled trailing vehicles to automatically follow the lead truck resulting in lower fuel consumption, reduced CO2-emissions and improved traffic flow. Due to EcoTwin’s success, DAF was selected to exclusively participate in English platooning trials in 2017. DAF is engaged with leading European technology development projects to gain comprehensive experience with alternative electric and hybrid power trains

As part of its city strategy, Eindhoven uses design to create an ‘urban’ understream. Design – by artists ánd by inhabitants – is used to create a city that inhabitants are proud of and feed safe in. Design is in this way used to influence emotions and behaviour on the street, as well as to actually make specific locations safer. To entice inhabitants to travel by bike within the city, specific projects were implemented that use design and technology to create comfort and safety for cyclists.

A tourguide from the Municipality of Eindhoven will guide you along this 20 kilometer bike tour across Eindhoven. You will see multiple design and technology projects, such as a floating cycling roundabout, a ‘slow lane’ and multiple street art tunnels. Projects that show design-ways to improve safety.
