Sustainable Transports
The transport competence area covers applied research with industry actors targeting IT applications that support transportation practices. Utilizing mobile devices embedded in vehicles and stationary systems placed in offices, three examples of IT application areas in the road transport industry are transport management, intelligent transports, and remote vehicle diagnostics. In particular, Viktoria’s research focuses on how information infrastructures can be designed to leverage core business activities of highly mobile organizations and how distributed computing and communication capabilities can enable such organizations to exploit resources and explore business opportunities. Given this research direction, key questions concern standards design and diffusion and architectural innovation.
