Traffic and infrastructure

Turnkey solutions for monitoring and analysing the traffic movements of a wide range of road users, from pedestrians and cyclists to motor vehicles, including real-time safety systems for detecting hazardous situations.

• AKUT ®: Acoustic Incident Detection in Tunnels

High-precision 3D surveying, automated generation of UHD maps and subsequent creation of simulation-ready digital twins enable efficient inventory and maintenance management for road and rail infrastructure. The work is based on a Building Information Modelling (BIM) system for mapping objects and their changes.

• Ultra High Definition Maps
• Mobile mapping platforms

Intermodal transport solutions serve to create a mobility system which reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution (including rebound effects). Our agent-based transport model – "LIFE M obility and Activity Model” – provides a basis for investigating the traffic, energy and environmental characteristics of these effects in advance.

• Agent-based modelling

We develop cost-effective solutions by extending the capabilities of classic LED-based lighting systems for a wide range of applications in visible light communication, visible light positioning and visible light sensing, in order to realise innovative sensor solutions based on visible light.

• Visible light sensing, positioning and communication
• Light and integration laboratory
• Electronics laboratory and design

We offer partial and complete concepts for the design, simulation, optimisation and prototyping (state-of-the-art laser methods) of optical components for customised lighting solutions. Our portfolio includes cutting-edge optical tools and algorithms developed in-house for diffractive, refractive and extremely flat freeform optics.

• Customised lighting solutions

Traffic and infrastructure projects involve significant interventions. We provide thorough analysis and a basis for decision-making that focus on regional dimensions of work and the economy, the tension between the centre and the periphery, shifting transport demand and the opportunities and challenges that arise from these factors.

• WIBIS - Economic Policy Reporting and Information System

We are investigating how a targeted expansion of transport infrastructure – especially between regional centres in districts and central areas – can strengthen the central location and in doing so influence the regional growth potential in regional centres.
