معرفی
Prof. Dr. Hermann Winner is a full Professor and Head of the Institute of Automotive Engineering (FZD) at Technische Universität Darmstadt since 2002. He previously held leadership roles in predevelopment and series development at Robert Bosch GmbH (1987–2001) and served on international standards committees like ISO/TC204/WG14.
Education:
- Diplomphysicist (1981), Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster
- Doctorate (1987), Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (Topic: Dynamics of domain walls in metal ferromagnetic materials)
Research Interests:
His work focuses on automated driving systems, automotive sensor modeling, and safety validation methodologies. Key contributions include modular safety frameworks (S2I2), behavior-semantic scenery descriptions for autonomous vehicle development, and advanced driver assistance systems (PRORETA 5). He has pioneered research on lidar sensor simulation, brake wear particle emissions, and motorcycle dynamics safety.
Article Trends:
Recent publications (2022–2024) emphasize automated urban driving safety, semantic scenario modeling, and sensor-based localization. Earlier works (2012–2021) established foundational concepts in fail-operational architectures, collision criticality metrics, and automotive system decomposition.
Scientific Awards:
- IEEE-ITS Institutional Award (2012) for leadership in automated driving research
Labs & Projects:
He leads the Institute of Automotive Engineering (FZD) at TU Darmstadt and has been integral to projects like UNICARagil (disruptive vehicle architectures), PRORETA series (collision avoidance systems), and collaborations with institutions such as the Daimler und Benz Stiftung and the Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen.
