About the master thesis
Background
Modern vehicles increasingly rely on continuous connectivity to cloud and internet services for software updates remote diagnostics navigation infotainment fleet management and more. While these digital functions can improve efficiency (e.g. route optimization predictive maintenance) they also impose environmental burdens through data transmission edge/cloud computing and data center operations (energy use cooling resource consumption).
Purpose & Scope
The thesis aims to quantify and analyse the life-cycle environmental impact of connected-vehicle services taking into account both the digital infrastructure (network edge cloud data centers) and the potential energy/efficiency gains enabled by the services themselves. Key tasks include:
- Estimating the environmental impacts from data transmission computation and storage per vehicle
- Assessing net impact: balancing emissions from digital operations against energy savings or emission reductions enabled by connected services (e.g. eco-driving route optimization).
- Conducting sensitivity/scenario analysis to explore how results vary with assumptions (e.g. data volumes electricity mix placement of computation).
Prerequisites
We welcome applicants from master programs such as industrial ecology or sustainable energy systems. Previous knowledge in LCA is preferred but not mandatory.
Start date: Flexible (earliest January 2026)
