Lehrte, March 6th 2017 — The IPH Hannover and Götting are collectively nominated for the price of the innovation network Lower Saxony (Preis des Innovationsnetzwerks Niedersachsen 2017). The nominated project is called "TCmobile".
"Call a transport!" (bei Anruf Transport!) is the title the innovation network gives its description of the project. The idea behind TCmobile is to give users an easy way to assign transport jobs to automated guided vehicles (AGV). As part of a diploma thesis an app for android smartphones has been developed. This app uses Google's speech recognition technology, which enables a cost-efficient implementation.

By using TCmobile users can assign jobs to AGVs (e.g. Götting KATE) by using spoken commands. One smartphone can be used to control several vehicles, no additional devices need to be purchased. The app was implemented for a diploma thesis at the IPH in cooperation with Götting. IPH and Götting have successfully carried out several joint research projects regarding the interaction between humans and automated vehicles.
