Mobility is a fundamental, individual need and an economic necessity for our society. In the context of designing sustainable and efficient freight and passenger mobility, we address current challenges in research and development.
The focus is primarily on drive and control technology (e.g. autonomous driving and flying), digital networking of transport modes and participants, and individual mobility and its health aspects.
We perform research and development in the following topics:
Infrastructure:
The FAMOUS (Freight Access Management for Optimizing Urban Space) project aims to evaluate legislative and technical measures for freight traffic control in cities using a comprehensive calculation and simulation model. For this purpose, the GÜMORE freight transport model is used in combination with a small-scale model for fine distribution in the urban area and the proven passenger transport model from ITS Vienna Region for access management issues in cities. In addition to traffic metrics, the reduction in greenhouse gases (CO2), energy consumption and pollutant emissions are also calculated and evaluated. In addition to the Verkehrsverbund Ost (VOR), BOKU Vienna, and hh2pro, project partners include the cities of Vienna and Wiener Neustadt.
Development and testing of detectors for single event effects
Development and testing of detectors for single event effects
Within the framework of the FFG-funded project, FHWN is working together with Diamond Aircraft on the development of future-oriented transport systems in aviation. FHWN's focus is on the simulation of new propulsion concepts as well as hybrid technologies, on the simulation of different configurations for future transport concepts and on research into sustainable materials in the field of composite materials.
