sim^TDs essential research and development objective will be integration of vehicle, communication and traffic technologies into one system. 

This requires research ensuring that vehicles recognise information on driving conditions and risks in a standardised way. And forward such information precisely so that they can be translated into traffic control measures such as variable traffic signs or vehicle-related systems as quickly as possible.

In this context research will focus on the question of how specific information transferred to individual vehicles can optimise overall traffic efficiency and safety. Within the sim^TD project, the synchronisation between collective control and individual traffic guidance and its efficient implementation will be shaped and tested.
