Abstract:The main goal of the large-scale research facility FASCar ® are scienti c studies and analyses in the eld of driver assistance and vehicle automation. This includes also studies of human behavior, acceptance studies, test of new assistance systems and automation, as well as user friendliness. FASCar ® makes it possible to test and analyze innovative systems and developed functions in a simulated or even real tra c environment.

The application platform for intelligent mobility (AIM) is a large scale research infrastructure operated by the Institute of Transportation System of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in the city and region of Braunschweig. The in-vehicle platform for ITS services (ITS, Intelligent Transportation Systems) is an integral part of this large-scale research facility. The in-vehicle platform for ITS services can be seen as a modular kit which enables up to 50 vehicles to take part in a Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2X) communications in test sites like the V2X reference track in the city of Braunschweig. The in-vehicle platform for ITS services along with its integration into the AIM test eld provides answers to a broad set of research questions in the Field of V2X communications on public roads. For example e ects can be analyzed, which take place when vehicles with mixed equipped communication technologies are sharing one road.
