GruppenbildITIV goes Africa

As part of the "Smart-e-Meter" project, a team led by Prof. Stork traveled to Ethiopia for a month in mid-April.
Ethiopia needs energy. By 2025, the country aims to have a nationwide power supply. However, currently only about 45% of Ethiopia's 120 million inhabitants have access to electricity. Especially in rural areas, very few people have access to electricity. Blackouts can occur at any time due to outdated equipment. The focus is therefore on stabilizing the power grid and taking better precautions in the event of bottlenecks in the energy supply.
To this end, the ITIV team is on site studying outage data to make better use of the existing grid. The local utility gets continuous access to the measurement data and can thus better respond to outages and investigate the reasons for them.

For 35 years, the IEEE International System-on-Chip Conference (SOCC) has been one of the leading forums of advances in SoC architecture, systems, logic and circuit design, process technology, test, design tools, and applications.

Professor Juergen Becker of ITIV served on the organizing committee - as he has for many years - and asked Lynn Conway, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Emerita University of Michigan, to give the dinner talk on "Surfing the waves of techno-social evolution". He was supported by Dr.-Ing. Tanja Harbaum.

In the EU-funded research project "XANDAR", in which KIT/ITIV is the coordinator, eight partners from science and industry - including the working group of Prof. Jürgen Becker - are working on a novel toolchain for model-based design of embedded systems. At the conference with about 150 participants, we were able to hold a special session and present the project.

Die Stadt München will ab dem nächsten Jahr ein Pionierprojekt zum sogenannten Bus-Platooning starten.
Mithilfe von Sensoren und eines Bordcomputers könnten Busse benzinsparend in Kolonne fahren und bei Bedarf mehr Passagiere transportieren.

Prof. Sax erklärt im Deutschlandfunk Nova vom 07.07.2021, wie durch ein System von Sensoren, Radar und einem Bordcomputer ein Informationsfluss etabliert werden kann, der es ermöglicht, dass ein fahrerloser Bus einem anderen geführten Bus automatisch folgt. Weil Sicherheit an erster Stelle steht, sollen elektronische Warnhinweise zwischen den Bussen aufleuchten, damit niemand zwischen die Fahrzeuge gerät. Zudem kann der Fahrer des vorderen Busses die Verkehrssituation einschätzen und dementsprechend eingreifen.

.Prof. Becker im Interview mit der Automobilwoche

Im Interview "Einzelne Recheneinheit kann zum Flaschenhals werden" mit der Automobilwoche (Ausgabe vom 28.10.2019) spricht Prof. Jürgen Becker über Risiken und Herausforderungen künftiger E/E-Architekturen von Fahrzeugen. So plädiert er für eine hierarchische Architektur und isolierte Speicherbereiche im Auto, um schnellen Datenzugriff und Schutz vor Hackerangriffen zu garantieren.
Sobald die Daten im Backend verarbeitet werden und das Fahrzeug verlassen oder umgekehrt, müssen sie vor unbefugtem Zugriff durch Kryptografie verschlüsselt und über digitale Signaturen authentifiziert werden.

.Artikel in Car IT am 30.01.2019: Sicherheit fürs autonome Fahren

In dem Artikel auf www.car-it.com, der sich mit Sicherheit beim autonomen Fahren und Alternativen zu aufwändigen Praxistests beschäftigt, meint Prof. Eric Sax, dass Virtualisierung bei dem Variantenreichtum von Verkehrssituation und Umgebungsbedingungen sogar der einzig denkbare Weg sei, denn die Aussagekraft von gefahrenen, statistischen Kilometern über den Reifegrad einer Funktion sei sehr beschränkt. Dennoch werde man um eine reale Erprobung in abgesicherten Testgeländen, wo die reale Physik wirkt, nie ganz umhinkommen.

.Prof. Eric Sax in den Tagesthemen vom 24.01.2019

Anlässlich des Verkehrsgerichtstags in Goslar, an dem es um wichtige juristische und ethische Fragen zum autonomen Fahren ging, äußerte sich Prof. Eric Sax in den Tagesthemen darüber, dass ohne strengen Datenschutz die technische Entwicklung beim autonomen Fahren schon weiter fortgeschritten wäre. Durch die unzähligen, durch Sensoren gesammelten Daten und Bilder seien dem autonomen Fahren in Deutschland gesetzgebungstechnisch Grenzen gesetzt.

.KIT-Experte Prof. Eric Sax: "E-Lkw bieten gewaltige Möglichkeiten"

Neben Tesla mit dem E-Truck haben eine ganze Reihe weiterer Hersteller elektrisch angetriebene Zugmaschinen angekündigt oder testen diese bereits, darunter MAN, Volvo oder Daimler. Angesichts noch vieler Unsicherheiten stellen viele die Frage: Ist der E-Lkw überhaupt eine gute Idee?  „Auf jeden Fall“, sagt Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eric Sax. „Dabei sollte man aber nicht auf eine einzige Lösung setzten, sondern für jede Anwendung individuelle Antworten geben“.

Sax plädiert für eine Offenheit gegenüber einer Vielfalt möglicher Mobilitätslösungen. „Jetzt müssen wir vor allem praktische Erfahrungen sammeln, und das heißt raus auf die Straße“, fordert er. Auch mache es wenig Sinn, die Wirtschaft wegen des vielen Lastverkehrs zu verteufeln. „Stattdessen müssen wir praktikable Lösungen anbieten. Schließlich wollen wir alle jeden Tag frisches Obst im Supermarkt kaufen.“

„Es ist noch ein langer, steiniger Weg bis zum autonomen Fahren“, sagte Prof. Dr. Ing. Eric Sax im Trendforum des Vereins Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) bei MB-Tech in Sindelfingen. Die notwendigen Prozesse, Methoden und Werkzeuge zu entwickeln, „das ist jetzt eine Herkulesaufgabe“. Es sei wertvoll, auf einem Testgelände Daten zu sammeln, aber diese müssten dann im Labor weiterverwertet werden: „Wir werden Fahrzeuge nicht auf der Straße frei fahren lassen.“ Er werde jedenfalls keine Prognose wagen und keine Jahreszahl nennen, wann fahrerlose Autos unterwegs sein können.

.100 Jahre Karl Steinbuch

Das Multimedia-Zeitalter wird kommen: Das war für Karl Steinbuch schon 1966 klar: Bereits zu dem Zeitpunkt sagte der Informatik-Pionier voraus, dass digitale Technologien die analogen verdrängen, Telefon- und Rechnernetze zusammenwachsen und Unterhaltungselektronik und Datenverarbeitung in den Endgeräten verschmelzen werden. Den Begriff „Informatik“ führte er 1957 in die deutsche Sprache ein.

Am 15. Juni 2017 hätte Steinbuch, der 1958 das heutige Institut für Technik der Informationsverarbeitung (ITIV) gründete, seinen 100. Geburtstag gefeiert.
