Location & approach

By car

The TU Dortmund campus is located near the Dortmund West motorway junction, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, while the Dortmund-Dorstfeld and -Barop exits on the A40 lead to the North Campus. The university is signposted at the exits. There is a charging station for electric cars on the North Campus, Vogelpothsweg.

By bus and train

The Dortmund University S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 S-Bahn line runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf Central Station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg. The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information can be found on the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association website, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route map.

H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of TU Dortmund University is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 runs every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes you to Dortmund Central Station in just over 20 minutes, and from there you can take the S-Bahn to the university. A wider range of international flights is available at Düsseldorf Airport, around 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are located on two campuses, the larger North Campus and the smaller South Campus. In addition, some university facilities are located in the adjacent Dortmund Technology Park as well as in the city center and the wider urban area.

Control system technology

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Prof. h.c. Dr. h.c. Torsten Bertram

The interdisciplinary research focus at the RST Chair ranges from automated driving and human-robot collaboration to elastic lightweight robotics.

The overarching modelling, identification, control and optimization of networked mechatronic systems as well as machine learning are among the key competencies here. These help to ensure a targeted approach to both basic research and commercial application.

Fahrzeug mit Ausstattung für autonomes Fahren

The focus is on:

Driver assistance systems and automated driving functions to increase safety, efficiency and comfort in road traffic
Hardware test benches and simulations for the optimization, control and regulation of vehicle systems
Trajectory optimization for accepted and safe human-robot collaboration based on rigid and elastic lightweight robots
Motion planning of mobile robots for real-time navigation in dense environments

The institute has excellently equipped laboratories for the verification and validation of its own developments both in real time and under industrial and operational conditions.
