Topic:

AdAntE is an interdisciplinary research group. It is the first collaborative project of the „Chemnitzer Initiative Technologien der Elektromobilität“ (CITE). Young scientists of several professorships of the TU Chemnitz from the domains of psychology, electrical engineering and information technology and engineering will examine the potentials of adaptive actuating elements in electric and hybrid vehicles in regard to energy efficiency and user experience.

The research of the professorship of Cognitive and Engineering psychology focuses on the potential users of electric vehicles. The demands of these users towards a future electric vehicle are supposed to be integrated into the whole designing and developing process. Furthermore, complex topics of human-machine-interaction are to be examined. A main task will be to investigate user experiences as well as user behavior. The aim is to make the resulting insights accessible for the designing and developing process by formalizing them in technical rules and algorithms. The results of the research group are supposed to be presented with the help of a prototype.
