e-mobility

Today we have to face a decreasing accessibility of resources paired with a growing demand for them. Thus, the crucial challenge for the future will be to minimize energy consumption and to expand the usage of renewable energies. Striving for these goals also means organizing the increasing mobility in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Under the heading of "E-mobility" the chair of Cognitive & Engineering Psychology focuses on projects that investigate sustainable mobility concepts. Therefore, we examine for instance how current emission-free systems fit the user’s needs and how they could be refined.

On the vehicle level, we examine alternative drive concepts (in this case, electric cars) in terms of suitability for daily use and user acceptance. Therefore, the chair of Cognitive & Engineering Psychology scientifically conducts several field studies (see below).

This project means to assess the potential of electric mobility and aims at suggesting further developments to increase acceptance, suitability for daily use and environmental benefit.
