At the ika, the six research areas Vehicle Concepts & HMI, Vehicle Structures, Vehicle Dynamics & Acoustics, Energy Management & Drivetrains, Vehicle Intelligence & Automated Driving as well as Traffic Psychology & Acceptance work on challenges of current and future mobility interdisciplinary. In addition, the institute has its own vehicle workshop as well as Electrical, Mechanical and Measurement Workshops, which support the work of the research areas.
