Our interdisciplinary team focuses on the development, testing, and validation of safety related systems in the domains of driver assistance and autonomous driving.
Key Research Areas:
- Vehicle Safety: Development and evaluation of systems to improve safety for vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users.
- XiL-Simulation: Integration of Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) simulations to connect virtual testing with physical systems.
- Autonomous Driving Technology: Design, implementation, and testing of innovative systems enabling various levels of autonomous driving.
- Testing and Validation of AD Algorithms: Rigorous validation and verification of autonomous driving (AD) algorithms using real-time simulation environments and sensor data to ensure safety, robustness, and reliability.
- Sensors and Sensor Fusion: Development and analysis of multi-sensor systems and fusion strategies for enhanced environmental perception.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Application of AI and machine learning to optimize control strategies, decision-making, and real-time system responses.
Facilities and Equipment:
- High-fidelity simulation platforms for comprehensive algorithm development as well as XiL testing and validation.
- Sensor and data fusion testbeds for real-world data analysis.
- Biotelemetry systems for analyzing human interaction with AD systems.
- Dedicated infrastructure for collaborative research and prototype testing.
