For both, highly accurate positioning of the sample is essential, requiring the measurement at the same sample location from different directions. Current sample-positioning systems in neutron diffraction instruments combine XYZ tables and Eulerian cradles to enable the accurate six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) handling of samples. However, these systems are not flexible enough. The choice of the rotation center and their range of motion are limited. Industrial six-axis robots have the necessary flexibility, but they lack the required absolute accuracy. This paper proposes a visual servoing system consisting of an industrial six-axis robot enhanced with a high-precision multi-camera tracking system. Its goal is to achieve an absolute positioning accuracy of better than 50μm. A digital twin integrates various data sources from the instrument and the sample in order to enable a fully automatic measurement procedure. This system is also highly relevant for other kinds of processes that require the accurate and flexible handling of objects and tools, e.g., robotic surgery or industrial printing on 3D surfaces.}, language = {en} } @inbook{Decker2024, author = {Decker, Alexander}, title = {Der Social-Media-Zyklus als strategischer Ansatz}, booktitle = {Handbuch Social-Media-Marketing}, editor = {Zerres, Christopher}, publisher = {Springer Gabler}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-42282-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-42282-0_7-1}, year = {2024}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{MohdSchmidZippeliusetal.2024, author = {Mohd, Zubair Akhtar and Schmid, Maximilian and Zippelius, Andreas and Elger, Gordon}, title = {LEDs Lifetime Prediction Modeling: Thermomechanical Simulation for SAC305 and SAC105}, booktitle = {2024 25th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3503-9363-7}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/EuroSimE60745.2024.10491530}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @thesis{Perin2024, author = {Perin, Denis Francis}, title = {How do start-ups in the Web3.0 and blockchain field engage with the future?}, publisher = {Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt}, address = {Ingolstadt}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:573-47233}, pages = {XVI, 66, XC}, year = {2024}, abstract = {In this thesis I investigate how start-ups from the Web 3.0 and blockchain field engage with the future.

The assessment method utilized showed that optimization of district heating consumer substations and adding of a central buffer storage tank has a high optimization potential in comparison to intermittent operation strategy, which has a significantly lower optimization potential.

This has led to a growing market for second-life batteries that can be used in applications like home energy storage systems. Moreover, the recyclability and safe handling of aged or damaged cells and packs has become more important. While there are several indicators, like state of health (SOH), state of power (SOP), or state of safety (SOS), which describe the state of a battery before its defined end of life (EOL), there is no consistent classification methodology by which to describe the usability of a cell or pack after its EOL is reached. The proposed state of usability (SOU) provides a new indicator that accounts for the usability for second life, recyclability, and possible required safety handling of a lithium-ion battery after its first intended life cycle. This work presents a decision tree method, which in turn leads to five discrete usability levels enabling a fast and rough determination of the SOU for practical use. Further, a calculation methodology for reasonable continuous regions of the SOU is proposed. Both methods are based on a literature-based rating of all of the relevant defect and aging mechanisms displayed in a risk matrix. Finally, some experimental methods that can be used for SOU determination are proposed. The developed methodology and the hands-on approach using a decision tree are well-suited for real world application in recycling companies and battery test laboratories.}, language = {en} } @article{PeintnerEscherDetjenetal.2024, author = {Peintner, Jakob and Escher, Bengt and Detjen, Henrik and Manger, Carina and Riener, Andreas}, title = {How to Design Human-Vehicle Cooperation for Automated Driving: A Review of Use Cases, Concepts, and Interfaces}, volume = {8}, pages = {16}, journal = {Multimodal Technologies and Interaction}, number = {3}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2414-4088}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/mti8030016}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Currently, a significant gap exists between academic and industrial research in automated driving development.

Yet, the application of these concepts in real driving situations remains unclear, and a holistic approach to driving cooperation is missing. Existing research has primarily focused on testing specific interaction scenarios and implementations. To address this gap and offer a contemporary perspective on designing human-vehicle cooperation in automated driving, we have developed a three-part taxonomy with the help of an extensive literature review. The taxonomy broadens the notion of driving cooperation towards a holistic and application-oriented view by encompassing (1) the "Cooperation Use Case", (2) the "Cooperation Frame", and (3) the "Human-Machine Interface". We validate the taxonomy by categorizing related literature and providing a detailed analysis of an exemplar paper.

To reduce the risk of accidents, blind spot assistance systems have been installed in commercial vehicles for several years, among other things, to detect VRUs and warn the driver in time. However, since such systems cannot reliably prevent all turning accidents, an investigation by experts must clarify how the accident occurred and to what extent the blind spot assistance system influenced the course of the accident. The occurrence of the acoustic warning message can be defined as an objective reaction prompt for the driver, so that the blind spot assistance system can significantly influence the avoidability assessment. In order to be able to integrate the system into forensic accident analysis, a precise knowledge of how the system works and its limitations is required. For this purpose, tests with different systems and accident constellations were conducted and evaluated. It was found that the type of sensor used for the assistance systems has a great influence on the system's performance. The lateral distance between the right side of the commercial vehicle and the VRU, as well as obstacles between them, along with the speed difference can have great influence on the reliability of the assistance system. Depending on the concrete time of the system's warning signal, the accident can be avoided or not by the driver when reacting to this signal.}, language = {en} } @article{WintersbergerSchartmuellerSadeghianetal.2021, author = {Wintersberger, Philipp and Schartm{\"u}ller, Clemens and Sadeghian, Shadan and Frison, Anna-Katharina and Riener, Andreas}, title = {Evaluation of Imminent Take-Over Requests With Real Automation on a Test Track}, volume = {65}, journal = {Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society}, number = {8}, publisher = {SAGE}, address = {London}, issn = {0018-7208}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1177/00187208211051435}, pages = {1776 -- 1792}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{BazziElHafdaouiKhallaayounetal.2023, author = {Bazzi, Ahmed and El Hafdaoui, Hamza and Khallaayoun, Ahmed and Mehta, Kedar and Ouazzani, Kamar and Z{\"o}rner, Wilfried}, title = {Optimization Model of Hybrid Renewable Energy Generation for Electric Bus Charging Stations}, volume = {17}, pages = {53}, journal = {Energies}, number = {1}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1996-1073}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/en17010053}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This paper introduces a comprehensive approach for sizing grid-connected hybrid renewable energy systems tailored for electric bus fleet operations. The study involves two main steps. First, a mathematical model that optimizes the configuration of such systems by considering daily electric bus consumption, solar irradiance, wind speed, and biomass potential is formulated. The model utilizes Pareto frontier multi-objective optimization to minimize the net present cost, the cost of energy, and greenhouse gas emissions. Second, the model is rigorously applied and tested in a real-world case study in Fez, Morocco, using HOMER Pro; the case study centers on the daily energy requirements of the buses, estimated at 2.5 megawatt hours per day, with a peak demand of 345 kilowatts. Two scenarios are explored, revealing a discernible trade-off dilemma between the full hybrid renewable energy scenario (Scenario 1) and the grid-connected hybrid renewable energy scenario (Scenario 2). In Scenario 2, the grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system demonstrates a notable 42.8\% reduction in the net present cost, totaling USD 984,624. Similarly, the levelized cost of energy experiences a significant decrease, reaching approximately 0.08 USD/kWh, marking a 38.1\% reduction.

As a result, steadily new approaches and techniques are developed, to render terrain efficiently with a high degree of detail, while trying to use the most of the current hardware's performance. The goal of this thesis is to develop an off-screen terrain renderer using Vulkan as graphics API and real world data sets, as height maps and satellite images. Additionally, the developed terrain render is supposed to be executed on selected embedded devices, while still delivering high framerates. In order to achieve this goal, necessary basic terminology and concepts of terrain rendering are dealt with. An important part of these concepts are performance optimizations, as level of detail and culling methods. Furthermore, Vulkan as graphics API will be introduced and compared with its predecessor OpenGL. For a technical understanding of Vulkan it is crucial to look at its render pipeline and basic rendering concepts. After several rendering methods are analyzed, based on them the design of this thesis's renderer is examined, while the most important parts of its implementation are looked at closer by analyzing their code snippets. The main part of this thesis is completed, by analyzing benchmarks of different scenarios to see how the developed terrain render behaves in different situations. These benchmarks include the frames per second, and statistics of the device's hardware components, as CPU load, GPU load, memory usage and memory throughput. The thesis ends, with a summary and general conclusion of the work. Possible future work includes optimizing the usage of embedded devices' unified memory, testing of texture compression methods for an optimized memory usage or a comparison of an OpenGL version of the developed renderer by comparing benchmark results of the same scenarios.}, language = {en} } @thesis{Dhavale2024, author = {Dhavale, Aditya Bhalchandra}, title = {Study on potential of energy optimization in German dairy industry}, publisher = {Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt}, address = {Ingolstadt}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:573-46977}, pages = {IX, 58}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The dairy farms form a vital part of German agriculture and consume significant energy for their operation.

There is a scope for improving the energy efficiency in dairy farms. Using energy optimization techniques can help reduce the load on energy suppliers as well as increase cost savings for farms. German farmers are adopting newer digital technologies to achieve optimization of energy in their farms. One of the key tools in realizing energy optimization is the Energy Management System (EMS). The use of EMS in the case of dairy farms has been reviewed and presented in this work. The objective of the study is to investigate the potential of energy optimization in dairy farms. Efficiency measures like replacing inefficient farm equipment are necessary to achieve energy efficiency. These measures are discussed in detail and their potential to save energy in dairy farms is presented. A comparison of all these measures is studied and how much energy savings can be obtained is reviewed. The use case scenario of EMS in different applications is presented as an indication of possibilities for energy savings using EMS. Furthermore, how the AI technology in combination with EMS can be used in farms and its benefits in dairy farming is reviewed. The types of farms on which the energy optimization measures can be implemented in an ideal case scenario are reviewed.
