As part of our work, we research solutions for pioneering road and rail vehicle concepts and their architectures. From the initial idea, through visualisation using VR/AR, the corresponding conceptual, design and simulation work, to validation in real use using appropriate prototypes, we cover all aspects of the vehicle development process and investigate new approaches to optimise it. Our focus is on developing, analysing and evaluating innovative construction methods and concepts that are both technologically leading and safe and sustainable.
