On September 26, 2024, the best submission from the competition was chosen at InnoTrans 2024. Prize money and award go to Erfurt University of Applied Sciences. The students Hannes Jahn, Erik Klinski, Marc-Aurél Kopp, Jean-Luc Petzold and Sebastian Stange were able to impress with their project work and thus replace TU Braunschweig as the winner of the student competition after three titles in a row.
The task to be solved in this year’s student competition was extremely challenging and more topical than ever. The participants had to carry out an analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of the execution of a SPITZKE SE corridor project, taking into account preparation, framework conditions and, last but not least, a large number of trades with a high proportion of work, as well as discussing risks and opportunities.
We would also like to thank all the other participants and universities for their inspiring submissions and interest in our student competition: Piravinija Perinpanayagam and Aron Welte from TU Braunschweig; Sina Moser from Munich University of Applied Sciences and Magnus Fechler from Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.
