Research Projects

Rescue workers in action after a car crash.

Projects in the research area "Protection systems for security and emergency services"

The central focus of these projects is to develop innovative safety solutions designed to significantly improve the performance and protection of emergency teams.


Transport infrastructures, especially motorway bridges are vulnerable to disturbances.

Research Projects to Increase the Protection of Transport Infrastructures

Several research projects focus on developing innovations for the protection of different modes of transport, from roads, rail and air to waterways.


Large scale operation: fire fighters and ambulance men at work.

Projects in the Research Area "Rescue and Protection of People"

Many research projects in the area of Security Technologies focus on scenarios in which attacks, for example, or natural disasters injure or endanger a large number of people.

Research projects to prevent the breakdown of supply systems

The research projects focus on prevention and early identification of threats to supply infrastructures, particularly to prevent cascade effects, to manage crises through prompt and efficient security and isolation measures, and to develop an efficient emergency supply service.

Research Projects to secure commodity chains

The projects focus on the development of innovative security solutions that build up defences against a breakdown in production and logistics processes (commodity chains).


Projects in the research area "Detection of Hazardous Substances"

The projects focus on the development of detection systems for biological or chemical and explosive substances as well as the possible applications of Terahertz technology in detecting weapons and hazardous substances.


Research Projects in the area of "Pattern Recognition"

The projects focus on the development of innovative processes in the automated collection, selective recognition and processing of data from different sources, such as cameras and sensors.


Projects in the research area "Social Dimensions of Security Research"

Basic issues in security research are explored in independent social science projects.

Computer simulation of incident scenarios

Multi-phase flows play an important role in reactor safety research, e.g. for predicting the behavior of complex water-steam mixture flows in incident scenarios.
