In the TERMINAL project, the Ministry of Economy, Labour, Energy and Transport (MWAEV) represents the local German administrative side and is involved in the European and national legal framework and in the evaluation of the tests carried out.
Regarding the approval, respectively the special authorisations for the test vehicles in the digital test field D-F-LUX, the MWAEV is represented in the transnational working group under the leadership of LUX.
Furthermore, the MWAEV has a coordinating function within the digital test field Germany-France-Luxembourg and is the local contact for approval procedures in Germany, especially in Saarland. Furthermore, the road construction and traffic responsibilities for the different road classes are coordinated here.
In addition, MWAEV provides technical support in the planning and implementation of any necessary traffic-relevant construction measures and actively participates in the citizens' dialogue in order to achieve social acceptance for new forms of mobility.
In parallel, the ministry is preparing a study on the mobility needs of the Saarland population, including commuter flows. This mobility concept for the Saarland is currently in the analysis phase. It is expected to be completed by mid-2020.
