The USA now also using adaptive headlights

What has long been permitted in Asia and Europe is now also coming to the USA: "Smart" headlights have only been permitted here for a few months. However, the responsible U.S. authority has special requirements for vehicle lighting, which are primarily intended to increase safety in road traffic. This is not a problem for the Light & Visibility...

More Efficient Image Processing Using AI

The analysis of video data for the recognition of movement using artificial intelligence (AI) requires a lot of materials and energy. However, neural networks that are processing information via two different data streams deliver results of high accuracy with little effort. The EDAG research project furthermore offers optimization potential for...

The Key to a Powerful Charging Infrastructure

The success of the electric car rests on the question of whether adequate charging facilities can be created. Municipalities are expected to create even more charging stations, even more ultra-rapid charging points. Topping up batteries faster and faster isn't necessarily the only solution. The alternative is to "refuel" on more occasions – with a...

The Battery Cell: Key Technology in the Electric Powertrain

In the traditional vehicle world, engine technology is regarded as one of the vital unique selling points of a vehicle manufacturer. Key vehicle characteristics are derived from the power unit, which is also a central element of value creation. In an electrified, digital vehicle world, it is no longer the combustion engine or electric motor, but...

How Mobility Data generates Business Models

The digitalization of traffic in Germany is continually gathering pace. Using vehicle and traffic infrastructure data opens up numerous opportunities, for example in the development of smart cities or new business models. But for this to happen, we need unhindered communication by means of open standards – and the corresponding publicly-owned...

EDAG makes the brake fit for the eCar

The electrification of the powertrain also has an effect on the brake system – many previously valid concepts and experiences are losing their validity. In order to meet the resulting requirements, not only innovative solutions, but also new methods and tools need to be developed, for simulation and testing processes for instance. EDAG has now...
