Mobility is a basic need in modern society. It is a key driver ownership as a status symbol, a paradigm switch is needed of innovation and growth, creating a basis for our lives and in the area of mobility.

More efficient operation: Improved fleet availability thanks to real-time information

The dynamic trend toward digitalisation spread to the rail sector some time ago. The smart integration and analysis of real-time data already allows rail customers to benefit from prompt information on delays and cancelations during their journey. The benefit: Customers appreciate the comprehensive information, even if individual circumstances mean that a connection cannot be reached as scheduled. Clusters foster collaboration between hugely dif “ferent partners – in research, practice, and above In the near future, this kind of real-time information will also all in an alliance between these two areas.

The future market of civil drones: Research, development, and use

Berlin-Brandenburg is one of Germany’s three most important aviation technology regions, as evident by dominant market leaders like Rolls-Royce Germany, MTU Mainte- nance and Deutsche Lufthansa, as well as innovative small and medium-sized enterprises such as aireg – Aviation Ini- tiative for Renewable Energy in Germany, PACE Aerospace Engineering and Information Technology, or Holmco Holm- berg.

Besides the familiar negative implications – exhaust gas emissions, increase in traffic density, mobility restrictions, and ‘double parking’ – the low success rate for first-time delivery and the associated additional delivery attempts present particular problems from the perspective of parcel delivery services.

Seißler is not worried about competition from major logistics companies like DHL, who are also developing similar models: “The city can only benefit if the concept becomes accepted. And competition is good for business,” he says, summing up.

And tives and expands the playing field by adding companies that come from other sectors. Automotive engineering is electromobility’s technological core area – although the range of electromobility-related themes reaches far beyond it and offers new opportunities to profit from the shift of paradigm.

Taking advantage of opportunities Taking advantage of the opportunities requires offensive action. Against this background, Berlin Partner, part eMO Berlin Agency for Electromobility, pools the activities in this field – as very successfully done in the International Elec- tromobility Showcase Berlin-Brandenburg.

The range of electromobile systems and components is being further extended, although science and research- savvy service providers are the foundation of the industrial added value. Information and communication technologies (ICT) supply new wind for automotive engineering innovation and the regulation of the complex interrelation between energy and transport systems.

The capital region: competence center for aviation, aerospace and drones

The capital region is Germany’s third-largest aerospace competence center. Here, the technical excellence extends to more than just the traditional area of aviation that was founded by Otto Lilienthal over 120 years ago, but also to aerospace and the relatively recent discipline of drone technologies.

Leading European location in areas of the aviation industry Brandenburg especially is home to major players in the aviation industry. In this respect, the region is particularly specialised in the fields of: (e.g. Airteam, FLIGHTCOPTER Flying Camera Systems • engine development and manufacturing, GmbH, 360° inspections GmbH) have contributed to the • light aircraft construction, and capital region becoming one of the leading locations for un- • aircraft maintenance and repair. manned aviation.

Intelligent Transport Systems

High Tech Creating the Future Today

The capital region provides the optimal conditions for developing and testing new technologies

Intelligent transport system (ITS) solutions have become part of daily life. They are also the key components of modern mobility solutions. These solutions span a broad spectrum of applications, including driver assistance systems in vehicles, fleet management applications in freight transport, management and information technology for buses and trains, and modern public transport management. The further development of technology will generate cars that can travel automatically and exchange data with other vehicles and the surrounding infrastructure.

The connection to smartphones is already providing new mobility options. With an app, they can plan multimodal routes that encompass the use of rented bicycles, buses and car sharing on a trip. Travelers can locate and book the nearest car-sharing vehicle by an app as well as a charging station for their electric vehicle.

The capital region enjoys an excellent position in the ITS value chain: The 10,700 jobs are distributed across more than 90 companies and 24 scientific institutions. Universi- ties such as TU Berlin, TH Wildau, FH Potsdam and HTW Berlin expertly cover the scientific aspects of the field.
