German team recruits from TU Dresden and IPF

When they hear the term "24-hour race," many people might think of Le Mans, Daytona, or even the Nürburgring. Images of colorful cars racing by at breakneck speed, accompanied by deafening noise and the smell of burning high-performance fuels may appear in the mind's eye. But at the NanoCar Race everything is different! And in the middle of it all is a team from TU Dresden and IPF Dresden.

2nd international NanoCar Race - German team from TU Dresden and IPF

Published on Thu, 17 Mar 2022 in NEWS

In March 2022, the international "NanoCar Race" will take place for the second time. A science event of a special kind: Eight teams from three continents will compete to 'speed' their self-developed molecular racing cars over a surface of gold for 24 hours. The size of the race cars: a few nanometers, 50 to 200 atoms. The length of the race track: around 200 nanometers. The venue: Toulouse, but strictly speaking, only the drivers sit there, while the 'racetracks' are in eight different remote laboratories around the world - including the only German one at TU Dresden.

Making Shared Rides More Sustainable: Introducing Dynamic Stop Pooling

Published on Wed, 09 Mar 2022 in PRESS RELEASES

Ride sharing buses (middle) combine direct trips of multiple users and drive shorter in total than the sum of the individual car routes (top). When users walk to a nearby stop, buses drive even shorter routes while maintaining the user travel times (bottom). Author: Charlotte Lotze.

Sustainable mobility is an important research field of the Chair of Network Dynamics (headed by Prof. Marc Timme) at the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at TU Dresden. Here, the chair’s researchers put a strong focus on “ride sharing”, i.e. the bundling of simultaneous trips of several people in one vehicle. A recently published study on this topic addresses the question how a dynamic combination of nearby stops enables more efficient ride sharing services.
