Innovative battery storage systems with high energy and power density, modern energy storage systems for mobile applications, network stabilisation through stationary storage systems, hybrid solutions for Deutsche Bahn

"The research centre 'Modern Mobility' in Plattling is a wonderful and generous opportunity for a researcher not only to do science, but also to lead new ideas to economic success together with companies in the region!" (Opening MoMo on 6 October 2020)

power electronics - Prof Dr-Ing Otto Kreutzer

High-performance charging stations in combination with storage solutions, charging stations, smart grid, power electronics in the environment of rail vehicles, etc.

"The MoMo is an ideal composition of research priorities to enable nationwide climate-neutral mobility.

An innovation driver such as the MoMo will on average help to raise the technological level of regional companies." (Opening MoMo on 6 October 2020)

autonomous driving / driver assistance systems - Prof Thomas Limbrunner

Sensors, algorithms, networking in the vehicle, metrological function validation, ... everything about autonomous systems and autonomous driving
Thomas Limbrunner is also the head of the laboratory for autonomous systems/ driver assistance systems - LAS/FAS at the Deggendorf Campus

"The cooperation with the colleages based in Plattling creates an environment with high synergy potential. For the research and future field of modern mobility / autonomous systems, the essential disciplines are bundled in a symbiotic environment in the MoMo.

This creates a technological nucleus for the surrounding industrial companies. The aim is to create a close cooperation between industry and applied science in the development of new technologies, but also in the qualification of future employees of SMEs." (Opening MoMo on 6 October 2020)

autonomous intelligent robots - Prof Dr-Ing Bertold Bäuml

Learning robots that independently master complex tasks: from humanoid assistance robots for home, production or agriculture to autonomous exploration drones

"At MoMo, we want to conduct research in the field of intelligent mobile robotics at a top international level in close cooperation with the DLR Institute of Robotics and the Technical University of Munich and, through close cooperation with the local companies, transfer the research results into concrete applications.

The current topics range from the autonomous VTOL vertical take-off drone for early detection of forest fires and bark beetles, the intelligent robotic assistant in production to the humanoid service robot with arms and hands as a personal assistant for the elderly." (Opening MoMo on 6 October 2020)

Through DIT research focus Intelligent Mobility there is a close cooperation with the following areas:

• Electric mobility and fleet management - Prof Dr Andreas Berl
• Virtualisation of Resources and Services and Intelligent Energy Information Network (Smart Grid) - Prof Dr Andreas Berl / Prof Dr Andreas Fischer
• Modelling and Control of Mechatronic Systems and Model-Based ECU Code Development and Validation - Prof Dr László Juhász

One focus of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) is applied research and development. The close cooperation with partners from business and industry guarantees industry-oriented research. In contrast to the classical basic research at the universities, the main focus is on application results up to the prototype phase as well as the implementation and utilisation of the research and development results.

The research and development offers at DIT:

• Research and development cooperations between companies, institutes and universities
• Research within the framework of public funding programmes
• Contract research and development for the KMUs
• Services and studies within the scope of university projects
• Development of innovative technologies, products and ideas
• Individual projects
• Cooperation in "clusters"

The research activities for innovative solutions, going far beyond the automotive sector, build on the previous research activities of DIT. Further projects in the research area of Innovative Mobility are being carried out at the Technology Campus Freyung.

The research centre Modern Mobility at the Technology Campus Plattling cooperates regionally and nationally with partners from business and education. Furthermore, there are numerous cooperation partners in our research and business projects of the individual working groups.

If you would like to become a partner, we would be pleased to hear from you. We will gladly support you with research projects or applications.

symposium - mobility of the future

The 5th Symposium - Mobility of the Future of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology was originally planned for Thursday, 8 October 2020. Due to the current situation, the symposium will not take place until April 2021.

The event will focus on the latest developments and research results on the topics of autonomous driving, electromobility as an integral component of a closed mobility chain, energy-efficient routing, innovative charging concepts and infrastructure standards, as well as user requirements and functioning incentive systems. New topics to be added next year are battery aging and efficient energy storage systems.

If you are interested in the 5th symposium - to present mobility of the future or to participate in the exhibition, please contact us via e-mail fachsymposium@th-deg.de. We are also happy to receive your suggestions, requests and ideas for new formats.
