CARpulse
CARpulse focuses on the development of a safe and sustainable vehicle architecture for autonomous vehicles that is tailored to the needs of users and takes their interaction with the environment into account.
About the project
The CARpulse project aims to develop a modular capsule for autonomous vehicles. The vehicle architecture will be designed both physically and virtually to cover different use cases. By focusing on a user-centered perspective, CARpulse aims to make the concept of the future vehicle realistic and applicable. An important element is the technology demonstrator, which illustrates the interaction of the future vehicle with people and the environment. Another important area is the development of a research platform that uses XR technologies (virtual, augmented and mixed reality) for the development of mobility concepts.
Aims of the project
The main objective of CARpulse is to improve the safety and sustainability of private transportation through the use of advanced technologies. The project aims to optimize the interaction between autonomous vehicles, occupants and the environment. One focus is on the development of safety concepts for occupants and on simulation models for virtual approval processes. CARpulse aims to further develop the field of vehicle technology through technologically advanced and user-oriented approaches.
