Applied research and education

Research

Our research focuses on Avionics, Fly-by-Wire and automotive X-by-Wire systems. System aspects like safety, fault tolerance, reliability and (cost) efficiency have priority. In detail we work on

  • new, open and cost-efficient system approaches for Fly-by-Wire and X-by-Wire systems
  • new validation/ verification processes for safety-critical systems
  • quantitative evaluation criteria for complex avionics systems
  • design processes for distributed and IMA-based avionics systems            

Application

Research results are used in the following areas:

  • Fly-by-Wire systems for aeroplanes of General Aviation and UAVs
  • X-by-Wire systems for vehicles
  • conception of IMA-based aviation systems
  • distributed avionic systems in the aeroplane cabin

Teaching

Our teaching focuses on the following topics:

  • modern avionic systems – key requirements and solution approaches
  • conception of safety-critical and fault tolerant systems
  • Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA)
  • development processes and safety analysis
