roboCOUPLING
Automated coupling and uncoupling process for rail freight cars with screw coupling
Seed funding to extend research in railway technology
Establishing a research focus on alternative engine systems, energy efficiency, digitisation and automation.
TerminalOnRail2
The project "TerminalOnRail2" examines the technical possibilities of a rail based feeder system for airports based on already existing infrastructure.
CargoRider 2 – Innovative Mobility Service
"CargoRider 2" is developing a new innovative mobility offer for easier use of cargo ships that is based on sustainability paradigms.
VAST – Virtual Airspace and Tower
VAST aims at improving situation awareness of Air Traffic Control Officers and makes way for new technologies in European aviation.
SecureMobile – Reducing fears in mobility
Due to subjectively experienced fears, many journeys are made by car or taxi instead of using more sustainable forms of mobility. "SecureMobile" aims to counteract this effect.
BRD - Broken rail detection
Identifying and testing new technologies and methods for a cost-effective detection of broken rails.
LICORNE
An Integrated Platform for Life Cycle Costing in the Rail Environment - The exploratory project Licorne promotes international networking regarding life cycle costing in the rail environment.
EntKuRo
Goals of this project are to develop a breadboard to unscrew the coupler and the development of a breadboard for the final uncoupling.
