Projects

Current joint projects:

FlexiDug (publicly funded): investigates reuse of rail infrastructures in former brown coal mining areas
- we focus on software architectures for dependable digital train control and signaling systems; prototyping their hardware and software components in simulations, in the lab, and in the field; evaluation and demonstration
Distributed Systems Engineering Lab: currently focuses on assessments of distributed systems using hybrid testbeds and co-simulation

Past joint projects:

RailChain (publicly funded): investigates distributed ledger technologies for the railway sector
- we focus on timing predictability (real-time properties); resource constraints (embedded devices); integration and interoperability assessments; hybrid testbeds
DiAK: Digitales Andreaskreuz (publicly funded): digitalization of railway crossings for increased safety and comfort for road traffic
- we focus on bridging the gap between V2X (ITS-G5) and C-V2X (Internet communication over cellular networks, e.g., 5G): dependable single-host deployments, middleware architectures, protocol translation
- part of the National Platform Future of Mobility (NPM)
Rail2X (publicly funded): investigated vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies for the railway sector
- we focused on experimental dependability assessments of the underlying wireless technology (IEEE 802.11p), ITS-G5 on Linux (IEEE 802.11p, GeoNetworking), simulation of nation-scale use cases, and IT security considerations
