  • Strategies for lowering the net land take in Germany and selected countries in the EU
    In Germany, the net land take in 2020 was 54 Hectares per day – mostly used for housing, industry and commerce (excluding extraction areas), public facilities. The German National Sustainability Strategy set the goal to reduce the net land take to 30 Hectares per day in 2020. This political goal was failed by far. The current political goal is to reduce the net land take to below 30 Hectares per day in 2030. Therefore, it is important for local planning authorities (municipalities) to change their strategies in urban development planning (e.g. brownfield development instead of greenfield development). In this thesis, different strategies and approaches for reducing the net land take used for urban development planning should be analysed and compared.

  • Qualitative comparison of the products "Deutschlandatlas" and "Landatlas" for different user groups
    In Germany, two web-based products are available: “Deutschlandatlas” and “Landatlas”. These products are available for different groups of user. These resources are very valuable in a lot of different circumstances. The question that different user-groups are constantly asking themselves is which one is the best for their specific purpose. The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the “Deutschlandatlas” and “Landatlas” focusing on their data, thematic coverage, actuality, geographical specificity and user interface design.

  • Strategic Municipal Heat Planning for Climate-Friendly and Cost-Efficient Heat Supply
    Germany aims to have climate-neutral heating by 2045. Municipal heating planning informs citizens and businesses whether they can expect a district heating connection or should opt for another climate-friendly heating option. The Heat Planning Act came into force together with the Renewable Heating Act on January 1st 2024. The Heat Planning Act came into force together with the amendment to the Building Energy Act on January 1st 2024. Both laws will help to achieve the climate targets in 2045. For the first time, all cities and municipalities in Germany will have local heat planning. This will give citizens, companies and energy suppliers certainty as to whether and which centralised heat supply they can count on locally.

  • Deep Learning-based Downsampling and Semantic Segmentation of LiDAR Data for Urban Localization of Autonomous Vehicles
    In the context of autonomous driving, localizing a vehicle in an urban environment is challenging due to dense infrastructures that disrupt satellite signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems like GPS. To overcome this burden, LiDAR sensors can be deployed as they provide precise environmental scans that enhance localization accuracy, but they pose also significant challenges in real-time applications. Therefore, the examined approach in this thesis streamlines two common processes—downsampling and segmenting LiDAR data—into a singular, optimized model using advanced Deep Learning techniques. This innovative framework not only reduces computational load but also enhances the real-time capabilities of vehicle localization systems. The Deep Learning model and its training strategy are steered by a downstream localization filter that evaluates the incorporated processed LiDAR point clouds, ensuring the system's effectiveness in urban navigation.

  • Integrated Path Planning in an Extended Kalman Particle Filter Framework for Vehicle Navigation
    Path planning is essential for the efficient and safe navigation of autonomous vehicles in complex environments. This master thesis aims to compare various path planning approaches using a real-world dataset. The study will integrate these algorithms with an advanced particle filter to determine the most effective combination. The ultimate goal is to develop a framework that not only ensures reliable localization but also optimally derives the path for the robot to reach its destination.
