The high number of traffic fatalities is still one of the main challenges when designing intelligent mobility solutions. In order to address this topic, our research covers all relevant aspects of traffic safety, including passive safety systems to protect vehicle passengers and vulnerable road users (VRU) as well as active safety systems that receive information from environmental sensors and communication devices and avoid or mitigate collisions in longitudinal traffic, collisions in intersection scenarios and collisions between vehicles and VRU.

Further, all therefore used electric and electronic devices must fulfill high levels of safety, in order to ensure safe and reliable mobility. Therefore, the Future Mobility Lab members also focus on researching methods and technologies to ensure safety of future mobility concepts and security on physical layer and on operating system level. Activities in the fields of traffic safety include:

• Development of active safety system based on environmental sensors and/or V2X
• Assessment and testing of active safety systems by means of simulations and controlled field tests
• Development of tailor made remote control systems for safety critical testing of vehicle prototypes
• Trajectory planning and control algorithms in Collision Avoidance Systems
• EMF dosimetry
  • simulation of electromagnetic fields (wave propagation)
  • measurement of electromagnetic fields
  • assessment of limit compliance
• radar
  • radar cross section (RCS) measurements
  • radar imaging
  • development of radar antennas
