The project partners presented their progress at the semi-annual consortium meeting of the NeMo.bil project in Penzing. Johannes Weyer and Sebastian Hoffmann from TU Dortmund were also there.

The semi-annual consortium meeting of the NeMo.bil project once again took place at the ADAC Mobility Test Center in Penzing. Sebastian Hoffmann and Johannes Weyer presented the initial results of the simulation experiments, which are testing how the introduction of NeMo.bil in the Paderborn area could affect people's mobility behavior.

Three tools are being used: a sociological model of mobility behaviour called xMooBe, a method for creating an artificial population of agents called synpp and a sociologized version of the MATSim traffic simulator.

The other project partners also reported on their progress, e.g. in the development of the NeMo.Cab robo-taxi by INYO Mobility or the hydrogen-powered NeMo.Pro towing vehicle by HOLON or fleet management by SICP and Reisewitz.

Particularly impressive, however, was the convoy drive demonstrated by two vehicles from TH Augsburg, which had been prepared by Carsten Markgraf 's team and the INYO Mobility crew in such a short time that the following vehicle was able to drive automatically at a close distance behind the lead vehicle.
