Research Projects at the "Lehrstuhl für Informatik mit Schwerpunkt Eingebettete Systeme" (Chair of Embedded Systems)
At the "Lehrstuhl für Informatik mit Schwerpunkt Eingebettete Systeme" (Chair of Embedded Systems), a series third-party funded research projects (funded e.g. by DFG, BMBF, BMWi, industry partners) have successfully been conducted in the last years. After the appointment of Prof. Kranz in March 2013, we successfully continue this work.
The research activities comprise a healthy mix of basic research and applied research in cooperation with industry partners. On this page, we would like to present you a selection of them.
Project "Personalisierte Mobilität, Assistenz und Service Systeme in einer alternden Gesellschaft (PASSAge)" (Source of Funding: BMBF)
The demographic change in modern societies has a significant impact on the future planning of self-determined mobility and mobility means. Especially the user group of elderly people is depending on public transportation. To win and keep senior citizens as customers, an optimized accessibility of the means of transportation is required, as well as their connection towards buildings and residences. These connections have to be modular and compatible to the use mobility means of the users. Barrier-free accessibility according to the existing norms can address these problems only partially. Broader and holistic concepts are needed here. [more...]
Project "Mobile Didactics (MobiDics)"
MobiDics, abbreviated from "Mobile Didactics", is a mobile platform on didactic methods and knowledge for higher education. MobiDics is a cooperative project of the LMU Munich (Program PROFIL / Sprachraum) and the Technische Universität München (former Multimodal Information Processing Group). The University of Göttingen meanwhile also joined the project group. The interdisciplinary cooperation of didacts, computer scientists and pedagogues is coordinated by the "Lehrstuhl für Informatik mit Schwerpunkt Eingebettete Systeme" (Chair of Embedded Systems) of the University of Passau.
