Digital Operation

Speed and timing are a competitive advantage in an increasingly “real-time“ economy. VIRTUAL VEHICLE researches on value generating core technologies for future digital operation services driving the digital transformation of our society. Data-driven design enhanced by the automation of the decision-making processes in “real time“ transforms and optimizes the customer‘s assets making them available and accessible in the Internet of Things (IoT) eco-system.

Market Challenge

Technologies enabling the digital operation of vehicles, especially of a distributed and autonomous kind, create infinite possibilities for everyone to significantly improve mobility and transport management while substantively reducing the operational costs. Digital mobility data such as traffic information, vehicle and cargo tracking, environmental conditions, quantification data of vehicles, users, goods or infrastructure assets is assessable today for both public and private stakeholders along the value chain fostering the fast change in technologies, business models and the society.

Our Expertise

A user-centric combination of computer engineering, mathematics, cryptography and behavioural economics drives VIRTUAL VEHICLE’s vision of mobility and transportation solutions for the future. VIRTUAL VEHICLE researches on tools, methods and migration strategies by applying the right balance of core technologies to ensure the safest, most reliable and comfortable, de-carbonized and multimodal digital operation of smart vehicles and intelligent infrastructure. The investigated approaches and implementation strategies provide the required speed in R&D but also accelerate the market-uptake for future digital operation concepts.
