The future development of technologies and their relevance is methodically determined by means of a multi-stage Delphi survey of national and international experts from science and industry.
Interactive web app
Since 2021, the content has been available in an interactive web app. The TKBW app shows various development paths of technological change in the passenger car and commercial vehicle sector. For passenger cars, paths to battery and fuel cell electric drives as well as hybrid and autonomous vehicles are considered. For commercial vehicle-specific paths, the web app includes special technologies and special technological requirements, such as for battery and fuel cell electric and hydrogen combustion engine drives, trailers and autonomous functions.
Individual modules and components can be selected at the click of a mouse and technological information on the status of development, degree of maturity, area of application and current research priorities and challenges can be displayed.
You can access the web app at: Technology Calendar: tkbw.transformationswissen-bw.de.
An explanation of the web app by DLR employee Dr Hong Hanus is available on YouTube.
Project goals
The aim of the project "Technologiekalender Strukturwandel Automobil Baden-Württemberg" (TKBW) and its continuous updates of various technology trends is to provide an up-to-date and transparent assessment of the course of technological change through electrification, automation and networking in terms of time and scope in the form of a technology roadmap, particularly from the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The technology roadmaps are scientifically sound and independent of corporate strategy with a focus on the economy in Baden-Württemberg.
Results
The results have been prepared graphically for an interactive web app and transferred to the "Transformationswissen BW" publication database of the state pilot centres. They can be researched and downloaded there as individual documents: transformationswissen-bw.de/wissensspeicher/publikationsdatenbank.
