Welcome to the Confluence Wiki of the Masterprojekt offered by the Real Time and Embedded Systems group on topics surrounding the REAKT initiative for the reactivation of the railway track Malente -- Lütjenburg. What this Wiki is all about:
In Germany there are many small railway tracks not part of the network of freight and people transport that got abandoned over the years for various reasons, e.g. cost and logistics.
Reactivating such tracks is getting more attention with new technologies and concepts such as autonomous trains, solar technology, on-demand trains, and other digitilization of the rail, as well as growing political support for the "Verkehrswende".
One of these tracks is between Malente and Lütjenburg and can be used by universities and the industry as a test environment for developing new ideas, which cannot be done on main tracks due to safety reasons.
For more information on the REAKT initiative here, visit https://www.schiene-m-l.de/
In this Master's project we want you to bring your expertise as a computer scientist to the table and explore how we can help these visions on this unique opportunity of a physical railway in the vicinity of Kiel.
We have access to draisines which can currently be rented as a tourist attraction.
To monitor these draisines and allow tourists to get information on the track, we envision you to discuss and develop some ideas.
Some possible goals and ideas include the following:
The ideas should in general also scale beyond draisines.
The project is supervised by the following university staff. Please contact us if you have questions regarding the project.
