The Institute of Ubiquitous Mobility Systems (IUMS)
Mobility is a major topic in the present and future, combining many areas including computer science. Starting with the basic task of moving individuals from one place to another, mobility develops into a complex system of interacting vehicles, vehicle systems, goods, people and information. Ubiquitous mobility systems enable flexible, intelligent Systems of Systems to support mobility in all situations as best as possible and to combine new services and technologies into a "mobility experience" for mobile customers.
The Institute of Ubiquitous Mobility Systems (IUMS) carries out research in the field of mobility systems, especially at the interface between interactions and models in ubiquitous systems. The expertise is therefore found in omnipresent, distributed systems (ubiquitous computing), in Human- Computer Interaction (HCI) and usability of ubiquitous systems as well as in the modelling of complex systems and processes for adaptive systems.
Since 2015 Prof. Thomas Schlegel has been Director of the Institute of Ubiquitous Mobility Systems, holding the endowed professorship for "Public Transportation". From 2010 to 2015 he was an Assistant Professor of "Software Engineering of Ubiquitous Systems" (SEUS) at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Technische Universität Dresden.
IUMS Team
Research at the IUMS
Join us for your individual research and benefit!
Our interdisciplinary research team from the fields of computer science and other sciences is looking forward to working on exciting topics.
We do research in these fields:
- New forms of interaction and usability/UX
- Mobility devices and ambient technologies
- Semantic models and systems, context-based models
- Mobility systems, public systems, industry 4.0
Laboratory for Ubiquitous Mobility Systems
Since the beginning of 2017, the new research Laboratory for Ubiquitous Mobility Systems has been in use. It is equipped to a high standard of technology and is available for current and future research projects.
New interaction technologies? From 98''-4k-Touch-Display (ShadowSense), MS Hub/Kinect/Pixelsense/HoloLens, HTC Vive, Project Tango, display wall to projection screen - new interaction technologies as well as AR technologies are available.
See what your users are seeing? State-of-the-art mobile and stationary eye tracking equipment, 360° field camera system with 16 UHD cameras for usability engineering and evaluation completed by prototyping with 3D printing, context-based sensor systems and embedded system development.
Test Field for Autonomous Driving
The IUMS is a member of a consortium that will establish and use the Digital Test Field Baden-Württemberg for networked and automated driving. The test field enables the participating companies and research institutes to develop and test technologies in the area of autonomous driving in road traffic.
Research Projects at IUMS
- ViewBW - Visualization of the Energy Transition in Baden-Württemberg
- BigDIWA - Scientific Libraries Shape the Digital Change
- RESPOND - Resilient Socio-Technical Processes in the Industrial Internet of Things
