AI for Safe, Sustainable and Smart Mobility

TÜV Rheinland is synonymous with safety, sustainability and quality in almost every facet of the economy and daily life. Founded over 150 years ago, the company is one of the world’s leading testing service providers. The mobility business unit at TÜV Rheinland has set itself the goal of making the mobility of the future safe, smart and sustainable. In order to succeed in the dynamic environment of the automotive and rail industry, they want to make greater use of the potential of AI.

Together with Porsche Consulting, starting points for the use of AI were identified across various business fields of TÜV Rheinland’s mobility unit and validated. Analyses and expert interviews helped to prioritize a variety of use cases and systematically select top use cases. “The selected use cases focus on different fields, such as optimizing internal processes or improving service quality using AI,” explains Gunter Bertrand, Director Strategy & Global Projects within the mobility business unit. The project also promoted long-term AI awareness among management and employees.

The potential applications of AI are as varied as the individual business fields. The three most important use cases were selected in a workshop at the Porsche Consulting Innovation Lab and then prepared for implementation – from concept development and defining requirements to data analysis and machine learning models. Thanks to the combination of technical and AI expertise on the part of Porsche Consulting and experts from the testing company, TÜV Rheinland was able to lay the groundwork for a future where mobility services are even safer, smarter and more sustainable.
