iEXODDUS Project as the Key to the Future of Mobility

THI plays a central role in the development of technologies for autonomous driving. As part of the EU-funded iEXODDUS project, the university is working with 13 partners to make autonomous vehicles safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly.

The project focuses on THI's core expertise: sustainable mobility solutions (symbolic image: iEXODDUS).

The project aims to significantly expand the potential uses of autonomous vehicles. Today, these vehicles reach their limits in difficult scenarios such as construction sites, tunnels, or unmarked roads. To overcome such challenges, iEXODDUS relies on further developing so-called Operational Design Domains (ODDs). These ODDs define the conditions under which autonomous vehicles can be operated safely and are crucial for the reliability and safety of connected and automated mobility.

THI is contributing its extensive expertise in the fields of artificial intelligence and vehicle safety to the project. Professor Torsten Schön, an expert in computer vision and intelligent driving at THI, explains: ‘The iEXODDUS project closes important gaps in today's technology. We want to ensure that autonomous driving is also reliably possible under difficult conditions such as construction sites or adverse weather. In doing so, we are making an important contribution to the mobility of the future.’

The project, coordinated by Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH, is being funded as part of the Horizon Europe program. It has a budget of six million euros and brings together 14 partners from six countries who are working on the further development of technologies for connected and automated driving over a period of three years.
