We are the BME Traffic Lab at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Our main scope includes control, modeling, and simulation of mobility in general. We work on future solutions for CCAM and CAVs with state-of-the-art technology exploiting simulation tools (eg Vissim/Visum, SUMO, OMNeT++, CARLA). Our activity covers research, innovation, and education related to automated vehicles and mobility. The lab's website: www.traffic.bme.hu
