Research and Development
Our team of researchers focuses on far-reaching research in the field of traffic and logistics. To this end, we identify, analyse and assess the trends relevant to sustainable mobility.
We develop new methods, processes and technologies that built the basis for prototypes and concepts to determine the course for our future product development.
Key trends of our time are:
Travel and transportation must become safer and more eco-friendly and energy-efficient which means that current transportation networks must be improved while reducing maintenance costs.
Demographic change requires new supply and mobility solutions for senior citizens. At the same time logistics processes are becoming increasingly complex within our economic system that is based on division of labour. Rapidly growing cities outside of Europe on the one hand and a shrinking population in some European regions on the other hand present new challenges we have to cope with in the future. Civil security and critical infrastructure protection are further important issues that will affect our society.
