Research Competences In the fields of vehicle engineering and vehicle manufacturing our goal is to remain the country’s leading research centre, and strengthen our position in the region. To achieve these goals the recently established Autonomous Vehicle Research Center (RECAR) is contributing effectively. In the field of transportation we are not only dealing with modelling and developing the information system of transport sectors (urban, road and rail), but also designing complex operational management systems. Through our high-quality research capability, we contribute to the spread of deploying modern intelligent transport systems at European level. In addition to our extensive professional expertise in the field of logistics, we are also expanding to special areas (e.g. city logistics) that are crucial for the country’s economic development. Our goal is to educate future engineers, to strengthen the scientific community with our research results and to use our experimental results in practice within industrial projects.

What will the future bring us? Nowadays changes generated by info communication technology have fundamental effect on vehicles, infrastructure, passengers and in general society. In the area of vehicle industry, the continuous expansion of automation can be observed. Moreover, the current industrial revolution – Industry 4.0 – has a great impact on markets, economics, supply chains and strongly influences each participant involved in the process. The new upcoming digital ecosystem influences the operation of the corporations. Thus, intelligent technologies provided by Industry 4.0 are stretching across the logistic system, forming new concepts such as Logistic 4.0 and cyber-physical systems (CPLS). Innovative technologies have a significant impact on environment, the digital infrastructure of cities, urban transportation and they support the development in a sustainable way. Novel and shared mobility forms are introduced, and the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is becoming more and more popular, that provides a personalized and optimized mobility service for the travellers by combining various transportation modes. Our researchers and professionals are working on these challenges to not just be part of the upcoming future, but also to elaborate new solutions and contribute to the developments in the fields of transportation, vehicle control and logistic as well.
RECAR
The REsearch Center for Autonomous Road Vehicle (RECAR) Program has been initiated to support the research focusing on the control system of autonomous vehicles. The establishment of the research centre was a joint effort of the Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Eötvös Loránd University, MTA SZTAKI research centre, as well as Bosch, Knorr-Bremse and Continental corporations. The education combines high-level theoretical background with best practices. The members guarantee that through the program the students gain an international degree and knowledge on the latest technologies. In the long term, the aim is to use the synergy among higher education and industrial partners, education and research, to improve the education of professionals and establish a prominent base of research and development in Hungary. 14

Education
In the framework of the cooperation, the Autonomous Vehicle Control Engineer master program was launched in English. Besides that, future transportation and the operation of autonomous vehicles are getting more and more attention in the Transportation Engineer master program, while the Logistic Engineer master program focuses on the challenges of Logistic 4.0.
Research
The internationally unique education and research in special cooperation with industrial partners contribute to the increment of the number of highly qualified workplaces in the strategically important areas of transportation, vehicle industry and logistic. The international relationships with other universities and projects funded by the European Union ensure that the students, lecturer and researchers at the Faculty have access to the state of the art of technologies and practices.
Laboratories
The establishment of high-quality laboratories are essential for the education and research in autonomous vehicles. The partners have elaborated a 4-level laboratory structure, that successfully serves the demand. The planned laboratories are worldwide unique and outstanding in the term of equipment, because the major proportion of the autonomous functions can be tested.
Test track
A research network has been established in a cooperation between Budapest University of Technology and Economics, University of Pannonia and University of Győr. The research network provides technical support for the test track operators at Zalaegerszeg and focuses on the research and implementation of autonomous vehicles, electromobility and smart city technologies. The professional members of the Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering actively contribute to the basic research and the development of implementation plans regarding the layout of the test track and the surrounding infrastructure.
