TH Ingolstadt CARISSMA-ISAFE: Predictive crash detection with AI - KICSAFe

The Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), a leading university for mobility with over 8,100 students and 900 employees, has been setting standards in technology, economics and digitalisation since 1994. As a research-intensive university, it has been home to CARISSMA, the Centre for Vehicle Safety, with over 110 scientists and 16 professors, since 2016. In 2019, THI also became the headquarters of the Bavarian AI Mobility Hub with 26 AI research professorships. The CARISSMA Institute of Safety in Future Mobility (C-ISAFE) focuses on predictive accident detection and mitigation and, with over 240 publications and 50 patents, contributes significantly to the EU's Vision Zero. The indoor test facility for integral vehicle safety systems, in which the performance of various sensor types is tested under reproducible weather conditions, is unique. The close cooperation between research and development at THI has already led to four serial productions of groundbreaking technologies, including the structure-borne sound crash sensor CISS (Crash Impact Sound Sensing), which was awarded the Bavarian Innovation Prize.
