CPM Remote 
Welcome to the Cyber-Physical Mobility Lab
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to enable safer and more efficient traffic, making it an important as well as a current research topic. Our Cyber-Physical Mobility Lab, an open-source testbed for CAVs, combines the advantages of reality and simulation to enhance the development of this research field. Currently, we provide 20 vehicles with a scale of 1:18 to implement and test various scenarios. The CPM Remote project aims to make our testbed accessible to every interested user worldwide. With our remote access, everyone with a web browser can start to engage with the topic within seconds. The provided applications can be used for education (CPM Academy) and research (CPM Olympics). However, you are welcome to implement your own scenarios.
Model-scale Vehicles (µCars)
The µCars are connected and automated model-scale vehicles with Ackermann steering geometry developed for experiments in research and education. The vehicle is equipped with an inertial measurement unit and an odometer and obtains its pose (position and orientation) via WLAN from an indoor positioning system.
The design allows identical vehicles to be used at the same time in order to conduct experiments with a large amount of networked agents. In our lab, we currently provide 20 vehicles for networked experiments.
CPM Remote
Start without any installation process. Just register and choose one of the sample projects to get started. Request a simulation session to try out the project. To customize the code, you can use our built-in editor. If you prefer to customize the code locally, you can also download the project and upload it to our website again after editing.
Test your implementation in our simulation framework or request a live session in the lab to control the vehicles there and get direct feedback via video stream. If you prefer to have feedback later, you can also submit your algorithm as an experiment. We will validate your submission and run the experiment in the lab with the model-scale vehicles. In the meantime, we will record all the data and then provide it to you along with a recording of the experiment execution.
