Manfred Loidold

As Professor of Geoinformatics and truck fan with a correspondingly high level of industry expertise and acceptance, my research focuses primarily on the possibilities of CO₂ reduction in road freight transport, taking into account customer expectations, profitability and other framework conditions (e-truck supply and infrastructure, political requirements and subsidies, etc.).

Since geodata is used and processed (almost) everywhere - just ask your cell phone - I have a strong interdisciplinary focus and am particularly involved in teaching - from monument protection (architectural heritage) and classic civil engineering to mobility and environmental management topics that are currently in high demand.

Between 2015 and 2017, I completed a postgraduate degree in "Data Science" on the topics of AI/machine learning, noSQL databases, linked data and big data and was subsequently able to apply this knowledge in a number of projects, including the BMVI-funded ITP project to forecast the availability of truck parking spaces on motorways, which is still an unsolved, sometimes fatal problem on many German motorways.
