simTD: shaping the future of road safety

and mobility via car-to-x communication.

The simTD research project is shaping tomorrow’s safe and intelligent mobility through researching and testing car-to-X communication and its applications.


The project started in September 2008 and will run for four years.


simTD will put the results of previous research projects into practice. For this purpose realistic traffic scenarios will be addressed in a large-scale test field infrastructure around the Hessian city of Frankfurt. The project will also pave the way for the political, economic and technological framework to successfully set up car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure networking. 






To achieve those objectives,

numerous automotive and

telecommunication companies,
the Hessian state government

and renowned universities and

research institutions have

partnered up. The Federal Ministry

for Economics and Technology,

the Ministry for Education and

Research as well as the Ministry

for Transport, Building and

Urban Affairs are funding and

supporting the project.



Project coordination:

Dr. Christian Weiß, Daimler AG,

Group Research and Advanced Engineering
