This class is project-based. Together with Kapsch TrafficCom, we will identify business opportunities in intelligent mobility systems. The outcome is defining possible interesting niches for Kapsch TrafficCom to engage in. We will touch upon trends such as internet of things, intelligent transportation systems, smart cities or Industrie 4.0.

Students will analyze these trends and will give presentations on a range of different topics.
