Technology Campus Plattling - Research Center for Modern Mobility
On October 6, 2020, the Research Center Modern Mobility was officially opened at Technology Campus (TC) Plattling. There are 4 main research areas at the TC Plattling:

Power electronics (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Otto Kreutzer)
• power electronics for e-mobility (motor vehicles, rail vehicles, etc.)
• high-performance charging stations with high efficiency (in combination with storage solutions)
• DC/DC conversion in the field of electrolyzers/fuel cells
• smart grid & renewable energies
• AC/DC conversion in the 16.7 and 50 Hz grid
• DC/AC conversion in drive converters for fuel cell systems and battery electric drives
The central task is the specific development and optimization of power electronic converters for the respective application.

Energy storage systems (Prof. DI Dr. techn. Michael Sternad)
• high-power lithium-ion batteries
• ageing effects, e.g. during fast charging of lithium-ion batteries
• lithium metal batteries with electrolytes based on ionic liquids
• novel electrode morphologies (e.g. using laser patterning)

Autonomous Driving and Driver Assistance Systems (Prof. Thomas Limbrunner, Prof. Dr. Markus Strassberger)
conducts research into autonomous systems and driver assistance systems. The general objective of the research group is to conduct applied research in the broad spectrum of autonomous systems.
The focus is primarily on the following key areas:
• (environmental) sensor technology
• algorithms for object discrimination
• object tracking
• anomaly detection
• META data generation/analysis (e.g. using artificial intelligence)
• overall system architecture of autonomous systems

Robo-CT (Prof. Dr. Simon Zabler, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gabriel Herl)
is researching the 3D digitization of large objects up to complete vehicles with the help of a robot-based digitization cell based on X-ray computed tomography.
• multimodal non-destructive testing with optical measurement and X-ray technology
• automated 2D & 3D X-ray inspection of large, industrially relevant objects
• flexible three-dimensional positioning
• collision-free, automatic robot movement
Main areas of research:
• computer tomographic, collision-free trajectory optimization
• precise positioning and calibration of X-ray components
• data completeness of scan trajectories

Projects:
One focus of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) is applied research and development. Close cooperation with partners from business and industry guarantees industry-oriented research. In contrast to traditional basic research at universities, the main focus is on application results up to the prototype phase as well as the implementation and utilization of research and development results.

DIT's research and development activities include:
• research and development cooperation between companies, institutes and universities
• research within the framework of public funding programs
• contract research and development for SMEs
• services and studies within the framework of university projects
• development of innovative technologies, products and ideas
• individual projects
• cooperation in clusters
The holistic research activities for innovative solutions, which go far beyond the automotive sector, build on the previous research activities of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology.
