The Institute of Systems Engineering for Future Mobility

Institut Systems Engineering of Future Mobility
The focus is on the development of new efficient systems engineering methods and tools for proving functionality (verification) and practicability (validation) as well as the further development of trustworthy systems.

The Oldenburg-based DLR Institute Systems Engineering for Future Mobility researches methods for developing and safeguarding automated and autonomous transportation systems of the future.

The focus is on the development of new, efficient systems engineering methods and tools for proving functionality (verification) and practical suitability (validation) as well as the further development of trustworthy systems. Increasing system complexity, new solution approaches such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and a shift in tasks between humans and technology require new methods of validation and authorisation. This is a major challenge for the introduction of future generations of transport systems.

In its four departments "Systems Theory and Design", "System Evolution and Operation", "Application and Evaluation" and, last but not least, "Safe Automation Maritime Systems", the institute deals with key issues relating to the technical trustworthiness of integrated control systems through to complete transport systems in the automotive, shipping and rail sectors.

Main research areas

  • Fundamentals, methods, procedures and tools for increasing and safeguarding the technical trustworthiness of automated and autonomous transport systems
  • Assessment and certification methods for the approval of automated and autonomous transport systems
  • Implementation of the methods in virtual and physical test fields
  • Standards for automated and autonomous transportation systems
  • Support for a new key discipline Autonomics
