The laboratory for vehicles of urban mobility takes the university's orientation in the field of mobility into account proportionately. Students of different courses of study have the opportunity here to analyse single and multi-track small vehicles, which are ideally suited for use in urban areas, and to pursue scientific questions experimentally and to deepen their knowledge of the subject matter in a practical way.
The desire for individual mobility reaches its limits, especially when conventional vehicles are used in conurbations, with regard to the necessary traffic space and the emission values to be observed. For these reasons, it is necessary to develop sustainable city vehicles.
In the laboratory for urban mobility vehicles, a roller test bench in the low power range is available for this purpose, on which very small vehicles with different drive systems (combustion engine, electric motor, hybrid drive) can be examined metrologically. The measurement results can be further processed on the existing PC workstations and vehicle and engine simulations can also be performed.
In the further expansion of the laboratory, it is necessary to procure measuring technology that will enable even more precise statements to be made about emissions and drive efficiency.
