THE AI ANGLE
Fusing distributed sensor data to predict traffic movements in real time

Researchers at Technical University Munich and BMW created an AI system that combines data from vehicle sensors and roadside infrastructure. The system builds a digital twin of traffic every 100 milliseconds to predict where road users will move. This offers engineers and planners a reliable method to monitor blind intersections and dynamic construction zones.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Students can evaluate how to filter and synchronize data when roadside infrastructure and moving vehicles measure traffic at different speeds and angles.
