Szechenyi István University – Vehicle Industry Research Center’s conference on ”Artificial Intelligence applications in Mobility” was a complete success!

The conference held this month between June 12th and 13th was organized by the Széchenyi’s Vehicle Industry Research Center (JKK) within the framework of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MILab) project, a programme set up by the Hungarian National Laboratories. The project’s goal is to research artificial intelligence applications and their usage over establish communication networks in accordance to research topics, such as IPAR 4.0 (Industrial 4.0) and the development of autonomous traffic systems. The project is financed by both the Hungarian Goverment and the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Programme (RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00004).

The two-day event took place in an online format, where several interesting topics related to the artificial intelligence were presented. The conference’s chief patron was Prof. Dr. Friedler Ferenc who is also Széchenyi István University’s rector and scientific vice president.

Dr. Szauter Ferenc, the Vehicle Industry Research Center’s director opened the event with his welcoming speech. Afterwards, guests were invited to participate in five professional lectures around the topic of “Artificial Intelligence technology usage and possibilities for economical process optimalization” lead by Dr. Weltsch Zoltán. The conference’s first day also included presentation by the following National Laboratory and Szechenyi Istvan University colleagues: Suta Alex, Tóth Árpád, Kedves Loránd, Molnár Péter, Pintes Orsolya, Stipkovits Tamás István and Hima Zoltán.

On Tuesday, the conference’s second day, the focus was on the usage of the artificial intelligence in autonomous vehicle control systems, where six presenters discussed their research with all interested parties. This conference section was lead by Prukner Péter. The day’s futher presentations were made by research colleagues: Markó Norbert, Bézi Patrik, Hollósi János, Nagy Viktor, Monek Gergő Dávid and Lázár Tamás, with the conference ending as a complete success for everyone.
