Bike-sharing systems have been widely used as an eco-friendly mode of urban micro-mobility in metropolitan areas. The next generation of bike-sharing may use autonomous bikes to solve the problem of station imbalance. Such an on-demand shared-use self-driving bikes service (OSABS) utilizes electricity-driven self-driving cargo bikes to offer the se...

Finding a sustainable mobility solution for the future is one of the most competitive challenges in the logistics and transportation sector nowadays. Researchers, universities, and companies are working intensively to provide novel mobility options that can be environmentally friendly and sustainable. While autonomous car-sharing services have been...

Light-Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a wireless communication technology, which uses light as the medium of communication. In this paper, we discuss Li-Fi as a communication strategy for building dynamic factory layouts. Advantages of Li-Fi are the low energy consumption, the straightforward implementation, the cost-efficient maintenance and the easy identifi...

In the advancements of industrial transport systems, there is a demand for intelligent autonomous transport agents in the manufacturing industries. Unlike conventional transport systems such as forklifts, vacuum lifters, cranes, the Multiple transport agents can efficiently transport large cargo through various locations in the industry. Moreover,...

Car- and Bike-sharing systems have dramatically altered mobility services in metropolitan areas in recent years. They improve flexibility and convenience for non-private car-based mobility. This transformation seems to be further revolutionized by the introduction of self-driving vehicles. Indeed, Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems are ga...

In this modern era of transportation, bike-sharing systems dynamically increased their scope as one of the main mobility components in cities. Conventional bike-sharing systems significantly impact urban mobility, and the users have more interest in the utilization of bikes for short trips. However, the conventional bike-sharing systems have no dyn...

Currently, most of the factory and material flow operations in manufacturing industries are carried out in static factory layouts. Due to the static layout, there is a limitation in flexibility. Flexibility denotes the ability to change the factory layout to optimize the production process for different production programmes. In this context, there...

We are currently developing a modular and decentralized learning factory to demonstrate Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 scenarios to both, students and employees from the companies. The factory shall allow the setup and evaluation of any preferred factory layout. One major challenge is the design of an appropriate strategy for communication between...
