1 +The REAKT project (https://reakt.sh/ & https://www.schiene-m-l.de/) aims at developing new mobility concepts to reactivate rural rail lines. This project will evolve around developing an autonomous rail vehicle, the **REAKTOR**, to flexibly provide on-demand service on single track lines. A prototype will be build in 1:32 scale for 45 mm gauge, as well as a full scale version for the railway track Malente-Lütjenburg.

20 +* Management of multiple on-demand trains on a single track line
21 +* Schedules for cooperative passenger pick up
22 +* Provisions for passenger transfer on open track ("Begegnungsverkehr", see concept art [[here>>https://cloud.rz.uni-kiel.de/index.php/s/ZMZSoLTerJCJi7L]])
23 +* The inter train communication concept maybe based on a central or decentralized structure
24 +
25 +2. An autonomous train controller with risk analysis using STPA **[already reserved]**
26 +
27 +* Control of an autonomous passenger train model (conceptually working for both demonstrators)
28 +* Capability for passenger transfer on open track (safe docking procedure; "Begegnungsverkehr", see concept art [[here>>https://cloud.rz.uni-kiel.de/index.php/s/ZMZSoLTerJCJi7L]])
29 +* Risk analysis for the controller using STPA ([[http:~~/~~/psas.scripts.mit.edu/home/get_file.php?name=STPA_handbook.pdf>>url:http://psas.scripts.mit.edu/home/get_file.php?name=STPA_handbook.pdf]])
30 +* Safe behavior model generation using PASTA ([[https:~~/~~/marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kieler.pasta>>https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kieler.pasta]])
31 +* Assumes preprocessed sensor input and destination determination (see other topics)
32 +
33 +3. AI-based obstacle detection for autonomous train control using image recognition
34 +// This topic will be jointly advised with the AG Distributed Systems//
35 +
36 +* Sensor processing of a train-mounted camera to detect objects (potential obstacles)
37 +* Tasks will involve:
38 +** Sensor mounting on the demonstrator
39 +** Collection of data (images, videos)
40 +** Labeling of data to enable training (esp. for small scale model)
41 +** Training of AI
42 +** Evaluation of quality
43 +** Live testing
44 +* Step-wise evaluation of the influence of vehicle speed on the detection quality
45 +* Evaluate applicability and influence of training data due to different environments for the demonstrators (i.e. indoors vs. outdoors)
46 +* (Optional) Trajectory detection to categorize safety threads of moving obstacles
47 +* (Optional) Evaluate performance on different hardware, e.g. Rasberry Pi vs. AI hardware
48 +* (Optional) Test and evaluate on the edge deployment
49 +* For interfacing with the controller, the sensor should provide an assessment how safe the area in front of the train is, such that the controller can adjust its speed.
50 +* Potential hardware (subject to changes):
