Automated rail transport as a backbone for sustainable, networked mobility in rural areas
A current challenge in the transformation of the transportation system is to combine individuality with efficiency and sustainability. In this context, automation, autonomous driving, intelligent traffic management, digital connectivity and networked mobility play a central role. The aim of the "enableATO" project is to implement modern ideas for ...

Hybrid Modeling for Data-enhanced Multiobjective Optimization of Multibody Systems
There is hardly ever a situation where only one goal is of interest at a time. When carrying out a purchase, for example, we want to pay a low price for a high quality product. In the same manner, multiple objectives are present in the design of essentially all technical systems such as fast and energy efficient electric vehicles, light yet stable ...

SAIL: SustAInable Life-cycle of Intelligent Socio-Technical Systems
Current systems that incorporate AI technology mainly target the introduction phase, where a core component is training and adaptation of AI models based on given example data. SAIL’s focus on the full life-cycle moves the current emphasis towards sustainable long-term development in real life. The joint project SAIL addresses both basic research ...

Intelligent technical systems OWL, cross-sectional project self-optimisation
Die Anforderungen an die Verlässlichkeit, Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Ressourceneffizienz von Produkten und Produktionssystemen steigen mit den Ansprüchen der Kunden an Qualität und Bedienung. Zur Vermeidung hoher Kosten muss dabei auch der Energieverbrauch reduziert werden. Hohe Optimierungspotenziale liegen in Verfahren der Selbstoptimierung (SO), ...

SFB 614: Self-Optimizing Concepts and Structures in Mechanical Engineering
Information technology is increasingly penetrating the field of conventional mechanical engineering, and this offers considerable potential for innovation. This is expressed in the term "mechatronics", which was itself formed by conjoining "mechanics" and "electronics". It describes the close interaction between mechanical science, electronics, ...

SFB 614 - Entwicklung und Implementierung von Verfahren zur Selbstoptimierung auf Gesamtsystemebene in den Bereichen Energiemanagement, Fahrdynamikregelung und Verlässlichkeit (Teilprojekt D02)
Ziel des Teilprojekts ist die Anwendung der Selbstoptimierung auf Gesamtsystemebene. Für realitätsnahe Fragestellungen werden Lösungen erarbeitet und an Versuchsständen erprobt. Während bisher hauptsächlich die Selbstoptimierung einzelner Teilsysteme unter Berücksichtigung der Zielvorgaben des Gesamtsystems betrachtet wurde, werden in der 3. ...
