The ITS World Congress 2015 took place in Bordeaux from October 5th to 9th, 2015. The ITS Congress and Exhibition is the world’s largest event in intelligent transport systems and services. Through the main theme “Towards Intelligent Mobility – Better Use of Space”, the Bordeaux Congress focused not only on how achieving intelligent mobility will change our lives but also on the benefits space can bring to ITS applications.
The AIT Mobility Department was among the exhibitors within the group exhibition organized by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA. Furthermore, the business units Dynamic Transportation Systems and Transportation Infrastructure Technologies of the AIT Mobility Department presented their research areas through lectures.
Isabela Mocanu, AIT Mobility, Transportation Infrastructure Technologies, is main paper author and presented within the lecture series of the ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA:
Paper: "Dynamic and acoustic behavior of electric versus combustion vehicles" und
Lecture: "Virtual testing of highly automated vehicles using real world data”: Future driverless vehicles and their sensors must be tested under realistic circumstances to be fit for public roads. For this purpose, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology provides a testing framework comprising more than 2,000 km of real-world video and LIDAR data measured by dedicated vehicles.
Wolfgang Ponweiser, AIT Mobility, Dynamic Transportation Systems, presented his research topic within the lecture series of the ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA:
”True Lies? Improving Validity of Traffic Information for Road Users with Floating Car”: To increase the reliability of traffic messages, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology has developed a decision-support tool, which generates specific recommendations to keep traffic messages up to date. Come and see how you can improve the quality of your traffic information.
Claus Aichinger, AIT Mobility, Transportation Infrastructure Technologies, presented results of research services being implemented in customer projects within the Technical/Scientific Sessions.
In a project commissioned by ASFINAG, the business units Dynamic Transportation Systems (DTS) and Transportation Infrastructure Technologies (TIT) develop a system to predict travel times for motor- and speedways:
Topic/Session: Solutions for Sustainable Mobility/Emerging solution for cities 2
Paper: Data-driven forecasting of traffic parameters during incidents for traffic management
For Fondation MAIF, the business unit TIT analyses the impact of the introduction of electric vehicles on road safety:
Topic/Session: Solutions for Sustainable Mobility/Models and Simulations
Paper: Dynamic and acoustic behaviour of electric vs combustion vehicles
