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
