Chair and Institute for Automotive Engineering
With 47,000 students and 10,000 employees, RWTH Aachen University is one of the most renowned technical universities in Europe. As part of RWTH Aachen University, the Institute of Automotive Engineering researches the entire vehicle, including its systems and their interactions. From the initial idea to innovative component and system concepts through to vehicle prototypes, the Institute's employees design the vehicle of the future and solve current and important issues in cooperation with automobile manufacturers and suppliers.
Connected and automated driving will play a key role in shaping the future of mobility. In the research area Vehicle Intelligence & Automated Driving, the institute bundles the necessary expertise from conceptual design to system and function development to verification and validation for the realization of connected and automated vehicles and their functions. All aspects of sustainability, safety and the mobility experience are considered equally. The research area researches and develops methods and tools for both simulation and use in real vehicles. Thanks to the comprehensive research infrastructure, forward-looking research questions can be addressed efficiently and competently in direct bilateral projects or as part of sovereign research. The latest methods of artificial intelligence, which are capable of solving the complex challenges of automated and networked mobility with a high degree of reliability and in a way that is comprehensible to humans, play a major role here.
The research department has a modern infrastructure. This includes research vehicles for operation on public roads, independently developed vehicle prototypes for the implementation of new research approaches, infrastructure test fields, scenario data beacons and a unique simulator center. The latter includes various simulator test benches, from pedestrian to cyclist and static driving simulators, through to a highly dynamic driving simulator that is unique in Germany in terms of its free availability.
