Amidst a technology push for electric mobility, the societal implementation of new e-mobility innovations is multi-layered and warrants a user-centered view. This study explores how the application of the outcome-driven innovation method (ODI) can be extended to e-mobility and inform a more responsible design of electric two-wheeler product and ser...

In this contribution, we will explore theory-based approaches to accelerator programs and innovation intermediaries that help to best design effective collaboration between start-ups (small and medium enterprise-sized), research and technology organizations (RTOs) and innovative companies. These are loosely connected as partners in an emerging orga...

Are you interested in motivating people to use more sustainable mobility options, like switching over from driving their car to bicycling, walking or taking public transport? Then this handbook on digital nudging for sustainable mobility is right for you. You might wonder why you need additional input when trying to encourage people to change their...

Efforts to advance Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have taken on a central role in research and development in recent years and will have a significant influence on road traffic in the future. Research on AVs has mainly focused on the technology itself and the direct users of AVs and their acceptance. However, the role of bicyclists, interacting with AVs...

The trend towards energy decentralization and innovations in data-driven e-mobility have given way to a new type of electric vehicle charging; namely, smart charging and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In order to unlock the full potential of electric mobility’s flexibility, an exploratory ecosystem approach is first warranted in order to uncover sta...

Globally, electric vehicle (EV) penetration is steadily on the rise. In order to overcome electricity bottlenecks caused by EVs' heightened electricity demand, new charging innovations are necessary to properly coordinate electricity procurement. Vehicle-to-grid charging innovations as an enabling technology have been introduced as a solution to fi...

There is an urgent need for city administrations and other stakeholders to promote sustainable mobility choices, such as bicycling or public transport, to reduce the negative effects of individual car use. In order to promote sustainable mobility behaviour, digital behaviour change interventions using mobile apps have been suggested as a promising...

New product development in the Internet of Things (IoT NPD) happens at the intersection between data science, electrical engineering, business development, and basic research. Despite its complexity, the dynamics of IoT NPD projects are underresearched. Thus, this paper presents a multiple-case study that investigates the distribution of iteration...

For the motivation of more sustainable mobility behaviour, interventions based on behavioural sciences such as psychology and behavioural economics are being used to effectively reduce individual car use. Urban mobility apps offer new opportunities to use digital interventions in a targeted way to promote sustainable mobility behaviour (e.g. bicycl...

With electric vehicle penetration steadily increasing and therefore their respective energy requirements, coupled with more intermittent renewable energy comprising the energy mix, new charging innovations are warranted to better facilitate the energy sector’s matching of supply and demand. To carry this out, this requires the cooperation of both s...

The aging population poses challenges such as loneliness, decreased mobility, and medical conditions. To tackle these issues, a proposed robot platform offers personalized well-being behavior change suggestions. Developed through a user-centered process involving surveys and focus groups, and tested with a first prototype, the system is ideal for i...

Digital, data-based nudging is seen as an innovative method for influencing behaviour without threat or banning options. However, concerns have been expressed that it is a paternalistic way of manipulating people into behaviour that even taps into subconscious and automatic decision-making. In light of tailoring nudges with big data for personalisa...

BACKGROUND Hiking is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the alpine region. However, besides all the health benefits, hiking is also the alpine activity with the highest incidence of cardiac events. Most incidents occur due to overexertion and/or underestimation of the physiological strain of hiking. OBJECTIVE The present project will est...

Background: Hiking is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the alpine region. However, besides its health benefits, hiking is the alpine activity with the highest incidence of cardiac events.

This study investigates the perceived safety of passengers while being on board of a driverless shuttle without a steward present. The aim of the study is to draw conclusions on factors that influence and contribute to perceived safety of passengers in driverless shuttles. For this, four different test rides were conducted, representing aspects tha...

Developing novel data-intensive products and services comes with a degree of unpredictability and invention risk. As domain understanding develops alongside data analytics capabilities, specialists from engineering, science, and industry have to cooperate, each with their own perspective on the product's design. In this highly complex and interdisc...

The aim of the DOIT learning approach is to empower girls and boys, 6 to 16 years old, to create and share innovative, concrete solutions. The DOIT learning approach has three impor...

Digitalisierung und Besteuerung im Fokus Welche neuen Herausforderungen stellen die Digitalisierung und Automatisierung an das Steuerwesen und die Wirtschaftsprüfung? Inwieweit beeinflussen die neuen technologischen Entwicklungen die Arbeitsweise und das Tätigkeitsfeld der Steuerberater und Wirtschaftsprüfer? Dieses Werk gibt Ihnen nicht nur auf...

Developing social innovation and entrepreneurship competences and skills of children and young people is on the agenda of European educational policy-makers. The European research and innovation project “DOIT – Entrepreneurial skills for young social innovators in an open digital world” suggests using makerspaces and tools, within schools and exter...

Information and communication technologies, digital design and fabrication technologies are valued as driver for developing social innovations. This contribution addresses the question of how to stimulate social innovation skills in makerspace settings. The European H2020 project "DOIT Entrepreneurial skills for young social innovators in an open d...

Open Educational Resources (OER) are regarded as one of the main digital social innovations (DSI) of the last centuries. OER is defined as open licenced learning content or software for learning and teaching, e.g. textbooks, courses, or learning management systems. Building on the authors' experiences in OER within the projects, this contribution d...

Innovationsentwicklung und -management haben in den letzten Jahren mit den Innovations- und Kreativräumen viele neue Impulse bekommen. Solche Räume erlauben kreativ über mögliche Innovationen nachzudenken und konkret daran zu arbeiten. Auch das Internet der Dinge (engl. Internet of Things, kurz IoT) mit seinen neuen Technologien, z. B. Sensoren, Be...

This article deals with a special type of ePortfolio, the Learning and Per-sonal Development Planning Portfolio (PDP). It explores the technical challenges de-riving from pedagogical requirements of PDP processes and discusses how semantic web technologies can contribute to an integrated "ePortfolio-PDP System".

education remains persistently low (Schwarze, 2005)1. Studies report high drop out rates among those who have entered an ICT education and once graduated, moving to a non- technical working field before having reached a management position is nothing out of the ordinary (Hanappi-Egger, 2004). Gender research has examined this phenomenon very carefu...

This paper deals with the issue of how to assess the quality of online learning and teaching material. As evaluator for eLearning processes and products one is confronted with the fact that not only learners, but also learning facilitators (teacher/tutor) have a subjecetive perceiption of e- Learning quality. In this paper we present different qual...
