Innovative University ā Saxony Five
The five Saxon Universities of Applied Sciences (UoAS), namely HTW Dresden, HTWK Leipzig, Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, Zittau/Gƶrlitz University of Applied Sciences and West Saxon University of Applied Sciences in Zwickau, intend to implement their jointly developed transfer strategy, Saxony5, as part of the āSmart University Grid Saxony5ā project. The primary aim of the planned project is to contribute effectively to the realisation of the ādynamic stimulation cycle of innovationā between universities, their partners and the target groups in business and society, as described in the transfer strategy. The 5-point strategy to be implemented aims to create synergies and enhance the impact of the transfer network, to increase the reach and visibility of transfer activities, to achieve greater penetration of the business sector and society, to ensure that transfer processes are consistently needs-oriented, and to establish a new, comprehensive transfer culture at the UoAS. The strategy defines a catalogue of seven ambitious areas of action, to be implemented through 14 sub-projects. With outstanding expertise and state-of-the-art facilities for media design, film and sound engineering, foreign languages, virtual reality and computer games, Saxony5 possesses a unique selling point that is intended to raise the UoAS to ālighthouseā status in terms of methodology within the context of the new knowledge transfer culture.
Co-Creation Labs
The research expertise of the participating universities of applied sciences is pooled in co-creation labs, known as CCLs. These CCLs provide an opportunity to build bridges between the universities of applied sciences. Co-Creation Labs are transfer laboratories in which the specialist expertise and various research capabilities of the individual universities of applied sciences are pooled in order to jointly address a topic of relevance to the market and/or society. The aim is to be recognised publicly as a system provider for the business sector and, in collaboration with companies, to test new ideas and generate practical solutions. In doing so, new technologies are to be developed and implemented. Networking with other institutions, companies and technology transfer providers, opportunities for further training, and the creation of new partnerships are also objectives of the Co-Creation Labs.
Co-Creation Lab 4 ā Connected Mobility
Effective mobility is becoming increasingly important in todayās world. The exchange of information is also playing an ever-greater role in this context.
There is a particular need for research and significant opportunities for the economy in the field of the āInternet of Thingsā, particularly machine-to-machine communication (M2M) and human-machine interaction.
Future personal mobility will be characterised by the multimodal integration of transport modes, complementary mobility services from the sharing economy, and the gradual market penetration of zero-emission vehicles. The drivers of this development are the digitalisation of service and business models, as well as market-ready technologies for electric mobility and autonomous driving.
Co-Creation Lab 4 āConnected Mobilityā brings together the resources of Saxonyās Universities of Applied Sciences and partners from industry and society. This results in strong expertise and an excellent research infrastructure in electrical engineering and information technology, and at some sites also in automotive engineering.
This collaboration in both physical and virtual laboratories has already yielded specialised expertise in dynamic vehicle networking ā for example, energy-optimised vehicle longitudinal control, electromagnetic compatibility and electric mobility in niche applications.
What are we researching?
Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, drawing on its expertise in this field, is conducting research into the prevention of serious accidents through hazard detection and the active warning of people at risk using combined warning systems, including in the field of autonomous driving.
Key research areas are:
- Humanāmachine interaction
- Hazard area monitoring/collision warning/warning systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and human-to-vehicle)
