Student Computer Science, Engineering or similar (f/m/x) - Software deployment - Cooperative, connected & automated mobility

Mobility has a high priority in our society. People want to reach their destination safely, comfortably and quickly. Goods must be transported cost-effectively over short and long distances. The consequences of mobility can be seen in environmental pollution, accidents and traffic jams, which increase with the ever-growing volume of traffic. These are the challenges we face at the Institute of Transportation Systems. We develop solutions for the safe and efficient mobility of the future.

Instead of only looking at individual vehicles and vehicle functions, our focus is on whole traffic systems. We therefore put emphasis on the interaction between different road users and the interaction between road users and surrounding infrastructure by considering and enhancing most recent developments esp. in terms of connectivity, digitalization and automation. In addition, finding optimal solutions for changing the mode of transportation wherever required are part of our research.

We are looking for several students (computer scientist, engineer) for the development and implementation of scientific and experimental prototypes in highly connected traffic systems. You will focus particularly on urban scenarios, where you will develop and implement software connectivity solutions for automated driving and its traffic system interaction.

To achieve your goals, you will work in an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, engineers, and ergonomists and you can rely on the experience of psychologists in conducting volunteer studies. You will encounter a stimulating research environment, plenty of room for own ideas and international visibility. You are also welcome to write a bachelor/master thesis in this research area.
