With the increase in e-scooters, there has also been a significant increase in traffic conflicts and accidents. Within certain limits, e-scooters have been largely equated with bicycles by legislators, without however taking into account the different requirements. This project therefore examines whether this equivalence is justified and what future requirements must be placed on e-scooters as well as on the shared infrastructure.

The objective of the project is to investigate the impact of module interface degradation and its implications for battery safety throughout the usage lifetime. The focus of DECOM is to investigate how interface material degradation (e.g., compression pads, TRP stop material, gap filler) influences cell swelling and thermal runaway (TR) and thermal runaway propagation (TRP) behaviour. Additionally, the impact of battery degradation on the TR and TRP will be investigated.

Analysing the behaviour of innovative battery cells under various kinds of load is essential to guarantee or improve the safety of electric vehicles in defined safety-critical load cases. Constantly evolving cell types with innovative cell chemistry pose new tasks and problems for research in the field of battery safety. In this project, the main focus will be on pouch cells and, further, pouch modules. This research project aims to analyse the thermal runaway behaviour of the batteries and to investigate the thermal propagation within pouch modules.

The central goal of "CarryMeHome" is to bring people and shopping goods to their destination as energy-efficiently, energy- and time-savingly, safely, seamlessly and barrier-free as possible. At the same time, the urban quality of life for visitors and residents is to be enhanced by traffic calming. At the same time, there should be no loss, but on the contrary, an enhancement of (commercial) usability. The neighbouring rural zones up to a distance of at least 10 km should be connected by soft or active mobility.

NEMO project aims at advancing the state of the art of battery management systems (BMS) by engaging advanced physics-based and data-driven battery models and state estimation techniques. Towards achieving this goal, the consortium tends to provide efficient software and hardware to handle, host, process, and execute these approaches within high-end local processors and cloud computing.

The project objective is to develop design guidelines (referred to as NSK design guidelines in the project) for the development of sustainable, safe and cost-optimised EPTW traction batteries. The NSK design guidelines contain proposals and guidelines to comprehensively improve the sustainability, safety and costs of EPTW traction batteries already in an early development phase. The application case of an electric motorbike is considered.
