Research

 

 

The vision of the chair is to look at different (sub-)systems and disciplines together and to research new design approaches and optimization methods that make it possible to design safe, trustworthy, interoperable and user-friendly electrical smart city systems in both public and private spaces.

 

The ESCS Chair pursues the MEnSeCo⁴ approach, which it has researched and developed in-house:

Mobility Energy Sensing Connectivity Computing Control Co-Design (MEnSeCo⁴)

 

Important focal points and challenges include system modelling under co-design aspects (i.e. the joint modelling and optimization of mobility, energy, sensor, networking, data processing and control systems), connected mobility, sustainability, the integrity of IoT devices and IoT applications as well as the hardware-related implementation and testing of corresponding IoT electronic components. The technologies 6G, 5G, WiFi 6, LPWAN, C-V2X, ITS-G5, M2M, Mobile Edge Cloud, Embedded Control Systems, Microgrids, Metaverse and Extended Reality, among others, will play important roles.

The Chair conducts research in close cooperation with leading EU and global research institutions and industrial partners. We promote interdisciplinary research in the above-mentioned areas in order to develop and shape new fields of innovation.

In our research, we deal with various scientific questions, trade-off considerations and fundamental aspects that can be assigned to the following subject areas, but are not limited to them:
