Welcome to Fraunhofer IVI

At the institute’s sites in Dresden and Ingolstadt, researchers of the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI are developing technologies and concepts for mobility, energy, as well as safety and security – from forward-looking preliminary research to practical applications in everyday use. The institute collaborates closely with the universities TU Dresden, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg and Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt. Its transport-related research work ranges from the field of vehicle and propulsion systems to intelligent transport systems, and it also covers the areas of disposition, logistics and digital business processes.

KoSiNuS research project launched with industrial partners from Saxony / 2.4.2025

Reliable perception for mobile machines

The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning enables high-precision environment perception, but is associated with technological challenges. The generated information must be reliable even under uncertain conditions. This is where the KoSiNuS project comes in. The aim of the collaboration between Saxon supplier companies and Fraunhofer IVI is to develop central components and architectures for autonomous mobile machines in order to validate their perception systems and make them suitable for practical use.

 

iECO project advances digitalization in the construction industry / 18.3.2025

AI-powered solutions for infrastructure maintenance and construction processes

Digitalization offers the construction and real estate industry an enormous potential for increasing productivity and exploring new value creation opportunities. For the past three years, eleven partners worked together in the iECO project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWiK) to develop a future-proof digital infrastructure for the industry. Their central result: a Gaia-X-compliant data space that forms the basis for a digital twin of the entire building life cycle and enables innovative smart services.
