FusionSystems is a member of the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC) network. Within the SRCC, highly automated driving on rail is to be promoted and tested. The laboratory train LUCY serves as Deutsche Bahn’s living lab on the disused line from Annaberg-Buchholz to Schwarzenberg and is used for the SRCC network. At the end of March, we took part in a test run with LUCY as a network partner. Our laser scanner and our stereo camera system were mounted on the test train; during the run, the system recorded important data about the surroundings, which is being collected for automated driving on rail.
In the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus, more than 110 partners from science and industry have now joined forces alongside Deutsche Bahn and Chemnitz University of Technology (TU Chemnitz). A research centre is to be established in Annaberg-Buchholz, which in the long term is to develop into a leading European location for the development and testing of digitalised, connected, highly automated and sustainable mobility.
