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

Current side projects:

electricity.watch is an experiment to ease environmentally aware consumption of electricity for infrastructures but also for humans
modifying the great Kernelspace Randomized Faulter (KRF) to implement fault tolerance (timeouts, retries, etc.) for system calls (WIP repo)
