Technologies that drive forward connected mobility!

13.02.2024

The Connected Mobility Technology Radar provides a comprehensive overview of current technological trends as well as an assessment from the industry of how these will shape the Bavarian mobility industry in the coming years.

Title Technology Radar Networked Mobility

Objective

The aim is to record and structure technology trends in the field of connected mobility in order to provide Bavarian stakeholders with a clear overview. Based on the assessments, we also identify key topics for future formats.

The assessments of the technologies are based on a qualitative survey of experts and are not a representative survey of industry opinion.

Methodology

The Connected Mobility Technology Radar was realized in four methodological steps:

1. First, internal sources were processed and supplemented by desk research. The research was supplemented by interviews with experts (period: 26.09.2023 - 03.11.2023).

2. In the second step, the technological trends were condensed into 47 technologies and categorized into topic areas. The topic areas are:

  • Autonomous driving
  • Digitalization
  • Data transmission
  • Computing
  • Battery technologies and
  • Drive systems and forms of mobility.

3. In the third step, the technologies were evaluated on the basis of four criteria in anonymous online surveys (period: 06.12.2023 - 31.01.2024). The evaluation criteria are:

  • Relevance (How relevant is this technology to the implementation of connected mobility?)
  • Priority (What priority does this technology have for your company/institution)
  • Competencies in Bavaria (How do you assess the competencies in this technology in Bavaria?) and
  • speed of penetration (When will the technology have established itself in connected mobility?).

4. In the fourth step, the survey results were visualized with a radar using the Digital Innovation Platform (DIP) of Bayern Innovativ GmbH. The mode of the evaluations is shown in each case, i.e. the evaluation that was submitted most frequently.

A total of 36 people took part in the evaluation, 22 of whom completed the evaluation. A large proportion of the reviewers (72%) are from the business sector. The remainder were divided between intermediaries, science and others.

Selected results

A large proportion of the identified technologies will become established within the next 10 years, according to the evaluators. Bavarian expertise was rated as medium to high in almost all technologies. Many of the technologies were rated as having medium to high relevance for connected mobility.

  • Over-the-air updates, generative AI, 5G, data rooms based on the Gaia X principle, blue-tooth locators, edge computing, battery recycling and Vehicle 2 Grid were rated as having very high relevance for connected mobility and very high priority. Out of these, Bluetooth locators, battery recycling and Vehicle 2 Grid were rated with "only" medium Bavarian competence.
  • Urban cable cars and eFuels were rated particularly low in terms of priority, relevance and speed of penetration.
  • Micro Cars and Carbon Capture and Storage Systems (CCS) were given a very low priority and low Bavarian expertise. However, the relevance for both was rated as high, with an establishment speed of 3-6 years for micro cars and 6-10 years for CCS.

Our Connected Mobility Technology Radar provides a comprehensive overview of the latest technological trends and their impact on the Bavarian mobility industry. We would like to thank all participants for their valuable contributions and look forward to incorporating the results into our thematic network work in the field of connected mobility. Please feel free to share your comments and suggestions with us. Together, we can shape the future of connected mobility in Bavaria.
