Digital Mobility Systems

The potential of this topic arises from the combination of various R&D technologies of the Fraunhofer ICT Group and application expertise in all fields of mobility. However, it is necessary to focus on these technologies, as there has not yet been any sustained penetration of the market (e.g. in the case of autonomous driving).

Market potential

  • Average annual growth rate 2023-2030 for autonomous driving and assistance systems:
    • Level 2+: 43 percent
    • Level 3: 88 percent
    • Level 4: 41 percent
  • Shared Mobility Europe
    • Gross volume of goods: 123 billion US dollars by 2030
  • Software-defined vehicles
    • 20 billion US dollars by 2025
  • Forecast number of connected 5G vehicles
    • by 2025: 8.4 million
    • by 2023: 41.7 million

Priorities

  • Connect mobility players
  • Sovereign mobility data spaces
  • Reliable and flexible software systems, especially reliable AI for autonomous driving, flying and rail maintenance
  • Traffic optimization based on quantum computing
  • “Safety and security" reliability and robustness of autonomous systems
