Dr. Alexander VIEHL

Biographical note 
Alexander Viehl graduated in computer science at the University of Karlsruhe, today’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Tübingen for his work on analytic real-time analysis of distributed embedded systems. Alexander Viehl joined the FZI in 2004. His research is focused on model-driven design for safety-critical embedded hardware/software systems, verification and safety assessment of intelligent technical systems, optimization and design space exploration of software-intensive multi-core systems, virtual prototyping of cyber-physical systems, energy-efficiency and safety assistance for electromobility, and testing of highly automated systems. Since July 2016, Alexander Viehl is managing the FZI’s Intelligent Systems and Production Engineering (ISPE) division.

Presentation: The Test Area for Autonomous Driving Baden-Württemberg
The Test Area for Autonomous Driving Baden-Württemberg enables companies and research institutions to test novel components, systems and services for connected and automated driving in everyday road traffic, including automated driving of cars, buses or commercial vehicles such as road cleaning or delivery services. Moreover, test results and lessons learned contribute to the updating of regulatory and legal frameworks. During the initial phase, traffic areas of various kinds as well as high-precision 3D maps are being prepared and sensors for real-time traffic capture and analysis of influencing factors are being installed. The FZI also supports RegioMOVE, one of the lighthouse projects of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion. The concepts of RegioMOVE will be incorporated both into the Test Area for Autonomous Driving and other research in the field of future mobility
