Anyone who lives in the countryside knows that it's difficult without a car. How can we change this?
The symposium “The future of mobility in rural areas” on November 6 and 7 at Zukunftsmeile 2 is dedicated to solutions for driving forward the mobility transition. The focus will be on technical innovations in public transport, innovative approval procedures for autonomous driving and new business models through smart services. Experts from the NeMo.bil and DiSerHub projects funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection as well as from MOIA (VW), dSPACE, ScMI and GAIA-X will be present. Interactive exhibits make it possible to experience the solutions presented live.
The SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn (Paderborn University) is organizing the event together with the Heinz Nixdorf Institute and the Neue Mobilität Paderborn e.V. association. “Our initiative presents pioneering approaches for a mobility system that is sustainable, socially just and also makes economic sense,” says Jonathan Behm, Managing Director of Neue Mobilität Paderborn e.V.
Topics include:
Without a car in the countryside - how NeMo.bil aims to improve local public transport in rural areas: enter a destination via app, be picked up at home shortly afterwards and be taken to your destination in a convoy of autonomous lightweight vehicles: Prof. Dr. Thomas Tröster from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Paderborn University presents the innovative demand-based mobility system “NeMo.bil”, which is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) with around 17 million euros.
Smart Services : Data as the key to new business models: Modern vehicles continuously collect data about the driving environment, vehicle status and user behavior. This data enables personalized services such as predictive maintenance and optimized route guidance. In his presentation, Prof. Dr. Daniel Beverungen, SICP Chairman of the Chair of Information Systems, explains how smart services not only improve connected driving, but also create new business models for manufacturers and service providers.
Electromobility: Intilion presents innovative storage solutions. Marco Pape from energy storage provider Intilion will use the charging park in Bad Lippspringe to demonstrate the role that storage solutions play in the implementation of new mobility solutions. Participants will learn how the combination of charging infrastructure and energy storage makes the expansion of electromobility more sustainable and efficient.
Rescue lane 2.0: more safety through digitalization. Johannes Thoma from HAAS Alert, a developer of life-saving mobility solutions, will present how digitalized emergency vehicles can warn road users in good time and increase road safety. The challenges in the context of data protection will be discussed, as will the opportunities for politics, society and industry.
The high-caliber panel discussion will also provide exciting impetus. Experts such as Jonnas Wigger (MOIA), Prof. Dr. Andreas Knie (Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin), Jann-Eve Stavesand (dSPACE) and Ulrich Ahle (GAIA-X) will discuss approaches to technical innovations in public transport and new approval procedures for autonomous driving. They also explain why manufacturers should definitely rely on software-defined vehicles.
Interactive exhibition - experience mobility solutions up close
A special highlight of the symposium is an exhibition of interactive demonstrators that bring mobility solutions to life. For example, participants will have the opportunity to test connected driving functions in an interactive VR driving simulator and get to know the disruptive on-demand mobility concept NeMo.bil using vehicle prototypes and a simulation. Companies such as dSPACE will also be presenting their latest technologies, including a software-in-the-loop simulator from dSPACE.
“At the SICP, we deal with the digital transformation of mobility. Through targeted science communication, we build a bridge between research, business and society in order to jointly develop innovative solutions,” says Dr. Christoph Weskamp, Head of the Seamless Mobility innovation area at the SICP. “Among other things, we rely on demonstrators that make it possible to present complex technologies and methods in a vivid way. At the same time, they serve as a platform for discussing further requirements for the systems with potential users. We therefore cordially invite all interested parties to this event.”
The event not only offers space for discussions, but also for networking with industry experts. Further information on the program and the opportunity to register: https://www.sicp.de/aktuelle-veranstaltungen/diserhub-symposium-2024
Participation is free of charge and interested parties can register until October 30.
