Use of Humanoid Robots: Current Trends and Future Potential.
Mentoring: Niels, Malekzadeh.
The thesis examines the history and current state of the art in humanoid robotics as well as their potential fields of application, with particular emphasis on the transportation system. The focus lies on technical capabilities, practical limitations, safety-related and economic challenges, and current cost structures. In addition, future trends are analyzed to assess realistic perspectives and development potentials of humanoid robots.

Testbed for traffic simulation.
Mentoring: Lindner.
In this thesis, three goals are pursued: (1) to duplicate data and models from an existing (online) platform for (specified) offline studies, (2) to implement procedures to incorporate real-time data into testbed(s), and (3) to investigate data aggregation with respect to traffic control.

Travel Time Estimation for Cyclists.
Mentoring: Dahmen.
This thesis provides an overview of methods for estimating bicycle travel times. It analyses factors influencing cyclists’ travel time and compares existing approaches. Additionally, a GPS dataset may be used to identify patterns in cyclists’ travel times, for example in relation to sociodemographic data or trip purpose.

How Many Simulation Runs are Enough? Statistical Analysis of Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulations.
Mentoring: Brodersen.
In simulation studies, 10-15 repetitions are often considered a sufficiently large sample size. Statistically, however, depending on the desired confidence interval and significance level, an individual statement can be made for each KPI. For this reason, the practice of assuming a general sample size should be questioned, based on different VISSIM networks and traffic signal controls of varying complexity. Prerequisite: Excellent proficiency in German (external partner: gevas Ingenieure).
