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
