MILESTONE #9
Identification and integration of new software technologies
Always one step ahead with R&D
Alongside the Professional Services and Automotive Products departments, Research & Development (R&D) forms the third important pillar in the corporate structure of RA Consulting. Thanks to our long-standing connections with the scientific community, such as the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), RWTH Aachen and the German Fraunhofer Institute, RA Consulting is regularly involved in pioneering research projects. As early as 2006, we carried out our first research project with Thomas Kotschenreuther (then still at the FZI, now Head of R&D at RA Consulting) with DiaLog.
In the mobility projects Real Driving Validation (RDV), RepliCar and TyreRoadNoise, we are currently working together with well-known OEMs such as Porsche and VW, Tier 1 suppliers such as Conti and Bosch, and industry partners such as HighQSoft and LiangDao. The aim here, for example, is to integrate telematics systems into vehicles and to transfer data from vehicles in real time. The consortium aims to use the project results to support manufacturers in improving vehicle performance and efficiency, or to provide them with data-based solutions for implementing international guidelines.
