| Sustainable city concepts going into action Posted: 10 Oct 2014 05:40 AM PDT Researchers are starting work on a Smart Cities and Communities initiative. This project will transform designated urban districts into smart quarters in three forerunner cities and then transfer the concepts to three further cities. |
| Miniature camera may lead to fewer accidents Posted: 09 Oct 2014 06:17 AM PDT Measuring only a few cubic millimeters, a new type of camera module might soon be integrated into future driver assistance systems to help car drivers facing critical situations. The little gadget can be built into the vehicle without taking up space. The way it works is particularly reliable, thanks to its special encapsulation. |
| Engineering new, efficient vehicle powertrains Posted: 09 Oct 2014 06:16 AM PDT Car engines – whether driven by gasoline, diesel, or electricity – waste an abundance of energy. Researchers are working on ways to stem this wastefulness. Ultramodern test facilities are helping them to optimize the entire development process of the engine. In the laboratory, they have already raised the degree of efficiency by up to ten percent. |
