Save me, dear Algorithm!

Overtaking maneuvers, excessive braking or fatigue: more than 90 percent of all road traffic accidents are caused by human error. The digital subsidiary of DEKRA aims to achieve transparency about how people drive.

Let’s Go Digital

Digital transformation has a huge influence on business’ future – five steps lead to success.

“WLTP? A Race Against Time!”

Wherever Erik Pellmann goes, you can usually smell smoke. He is the DEKRA expert on emissions technology. In this interview, he takes us behind the scenes of the turbulent launch of the WLTP emissions cycle.

Seemingly Safe

Safety at the workplace has a high priority. At home, things look completely different: We do not follow a plan and risks are hardly considered here. Don Martin from DEKRA Organizational Safety & Reliability (OSR) keeps a close eye on this problem.

When the Music Comes

That music in the car improves the driver's performance sounds plausible. But which music is the right one at all? In the future, IT experts who want to help artificial intelligence in cars to make musical leaps should also be concerned with this question.

Where hazardous materials lurk

Just a regular trip to the grocery store is enough to bring a great many potentially hazardous substances into the home: Glass cleaner, adhesives, dishwashing liquid, stain remover. At first glance harmless, belying the dangers within.

Shine Smarter

Some inner cities would like to be really smart. But to do that they would have to get their traffic under control. Intelligent lighting systems could help here and there. They provide the digital infrastructure with which traffic jams can be better avoided in the future.

High Voltage

At 60 meters up in the air and in close proximity to 380,000 Volts, work safety and carefully planned procedures take highest priority.

Five Safety Tips for Unloading Containers

Severe accidents still happen frequently during the unloading of freight containers. These tips give advice how to play it safe.

S-pedelec: Getting to Work at 45 kmh

Getting to work without traffic jams – the s-pedelec could be the solution. Our author carried out the self-experiment and switched from the car to an electrically driven e-bike of the fast-paced type.

Smartglasses for the Virtual Workplace

Smartglasses are key to the digital evolution of Industry 4.0. With these intelligent glasses, handhelds, smart phones and scanners are likely to disappear from the digital toolbox.
