Is there life beyond electricity? The intensive electrification of transport is a solution for some areas of mobility, but the current technology will not be able to fully replace petroleum-based energy sources – The collegues of the Innovative Vehicle Technologies research group discussed about the developement of new generation fuels on Totalcar.
Prof. Eric Sax: “KIT – and especially ITIV (Institut für Technik der Informationsverarbeitung) – has a long-standing friendly relationship with BME. That’s why we are happy to talk to Professor Zsolt Szalay and his team about current topics, including innovation opportunities in the automotive industry.”
According to Dr. Zöldy Máté BME senior scientific associate, really clean energy is what we don’t use. We talked to him and Krisztián Kun, head of the Vehicle Technology Research Group at János Neumann University, about the future of driving. For example, a third of the car’s value is the battery, which has a shorter lifespan than the car. Therefore, more are needed throughout the entire life cycle. Maybe electric cars are not the future yet? Many questions were answered in the conversation.
In light of the possibility of a future cooperation, the Department of Automotive Technology of the BME was delighted to welcome high-ranking representatives of the “Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH)” and the “Ministry of Trade Industry and Energy” in December. During the meeting, the topics in which both sides see perspective and innovative opportunities for cooperation were outlined, especially with regard to the problems arising in connection with highly automated vehicle systems. The negotiations continue, we await the developments with great interest.
It was an honour for the Innovative Vehicle Technologies Research Group to be invited to the Future Transport event, which took place in the framework of the Neumann Year at the Neumann University. The leader of the research group, Dr. Máté Zöldy, took part in a round table discussion with Dr. Barna Hanula and Virág Mészáros, among others, in front of an audience of more than 200 people. The future of transport will be electric, but not exclusively electric, concluded the panelists.
In February 2023, our young doctoral colleagues participated in the 21ST world Symposium on Applies Machine Intelligence and Informatics, where they successfully presented papers on machine vision.
Károly Fodor compared two “State of the Art” visual SLAM algorithms on a low cost sensor system and presented his own data set for this.
Márton Cserni developed a new method: he presented a fast and efficient image segmentation algorithm by fusing neural networks and classical image processing.
For years, the laser and additive technology research group has been developing its competencies in the field of metal 3D printing, for which we have a good opportunity to participate in projects with domestic partners that are related to specific applications. In a domestic tender launched a few months ago, research is being carried out on the topic of printing precision metal parts, building on previous results in cooperation with domestic universities, research institutes and corporate partners.
During the last year, the Materials Science and Manufacturing Technology Research Group has carried out significant research into the mechanical and structural properties of additively manufactured maraging steels and Ti6Al4V alloys. Our research was supported by market KFI and TKP grants. We examined the effects of different heat treatment profiles on the mechanical properties of […]
In the next two years, the university colleagues of the Hungarian innovation ecosystem will work together with MIT, one of the most respected technical universities in the world. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston’s entrepreneurial acceleration program aims to encourage international participants to work together, who can then more effectively help develop their own region. This gives Hungary the opportunity to become the world’s innovation frontrunner.
