in the Research Training Group (RTG) „SocialCars – cooperative, (de-)centralized traffic management“

jointly hosted at Technischen Universität Braunschweig, Technischen Universität Clausthal and Leibniz Universität Hannover

The RTG SocialCars funded by the DFG is a joint collaborative program involving six interdisciplinary research groups representing the areas of traffic planning, traffic psychology, computer science, business information systems, communications technology, and geodetic science / geo-informatics.

The focus of SocialCars is on significantly improving future urban road traffic, through cooperative approaches. “How can individual travelers make optimal use of the transport infrastructure, so that safety is increased and congestion and pollution are reduced?” is the key question. SocialCars aims to answer this question by investigating the interaction between centralized (system-optimal) management and decentralized (user-optimal) decisions of traffic participants.
