Mobility and Digital Services

Complex transportation systems are becoming increasingly digital and interconnected. With the help of information and communication technologies, it is possible to improve traffic coordination, establish new mobility services and involve passengers and other road users more actively. For 25 years, Fraunhofer IVI has been developing robust and practical solutions in the field of mobility including the required digital services. In this context, the institute has maintained close cooperation with a wide range of stakeholders, such as transport companies and associations, partners from industry, and public institutions. 

The two working groups »Data Systems and Assistance« and »Ticketing and Fares« have an interdisciplinary profile. The department‘s successful work is based on in-depth knowledge and extensive experience in the fields of computer science, mathematics, software technologies, information and automation technology, and transportation science, combined with expertise gained from applied projects.
