Software-based reconfiguration of flexible mobility systems

A mobility system is composed of a variety of mobility resources (e.g., private vehicles, commercial fleets, infrastructures), all of which contribute to the functionality and flexibility of the overall system. In this context, flexibility is a central key for sustainable and user-oriented mobility. One approach to this is

software-defined mobility systems, in which functions can be virtualized by software and thus flexibly designed.

Aim and approach

The aim of the project is to develop a decentralized, software-based coordination mechanism that supports the adaptability of a single mobility resource and a targeted integration of flexibility within the mobility system. As an example, the flexibilization of a concrete mobility resource is investigated by means of a software-triggered and software-based adaptation of a discrete-event algorithm for the solution of unregulated traffic situations to possible changes in a mobility system.
