Developing the bicycle simulator further.
Mentoring: Lindner.The Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control uses bicycle simulators in various research projects. These can be extended in their validity and functionality. Examples are "full-body motion tracking", the mapping of gradients or human-machine interfaces on the bicycle. In this work, one component is to be integrated on the bicycle simulator.

Escooter multi-body simulation model for submicroscopic traffic simulation.
Mentoring: Lindner.The thesis aims to further develop an e-scooter simulation model that models the riding physics of the scooter as well as the rider and their weight transfer.

Analysis of Business Travel Data at TUM.
Mentoring: Waldorf, Alvarez.Based on anonymized flight and train travel data from TUM employees, this study project investigates potential opportunities for reducing CO₂ emissions from business travel. The project is conducted in collaboration with the TUM Sustainability Office and contributes to the development of the TUM Travel Policy. It involves advanced data analysis and the development of informative visualizations. Strong skills in statistics and programming (R and Python) are therefore essential.

Integration of Open Street Map Data into a Simulation Framwork for Cooperative Perception of Automated Vehicles.
Mentoring: Ilic.A self-developed simulation framework for the investigation and evaluation of the cooperative perception of automated vehicles (https://github.com/TUM-VT/FTO-Sim) is to be expanded to include further static objects that restrict the view of automated vehicles. The geocoordinates of these objects are to be obtained from OpenStreetMap or other public geo-databases.
🖥️💭💻 -
Review of Motion Planning Techniques for Urban Driving Scenarios.
Mentoring: Nexhipi.This project conducts a literature review of motion planning methods for urban driving. It explores techniques such as potential fields, graph search, sampling-based, and learning-based approaches, focusing on their suitability and performance in complex urban environments.
-
Reconstructing vehicle routes from on-demand trip data.
Mentoring: El Eid.We have data trip data from an on-demand service for the area hof with information about the trip start and end times and coordinates as well as vehicle occupancy. The routes for each trip are presented separately and are not assigned to any vehicle. The goal is generating a route sequence from the separate trips while utilizing the minimum number of individual on-demand vehicles. The occupancy of the vehicles during the day should be analyzed.
