Abstract
Safety and energy-efficiency is the main aim of every reasonable driver. But often there is too much relevant information a driver has to take into account and evaluate. A useful support can be provided by technology that can observe the driver’s situation, analyze it, and offer individualized information and services to the driver. Moreover, by means of gamification mechanisms drivers can receive valuable feedback and motivation to improve their behavior. This paper presents such a situation-aware gamification approach in logistics, which has been elaborated in the LogiAssist project and enhanced in the TEGA game. A first user study indicated the general usefulness of this approach and revealed also several shortcomings. These results imply that this synergy of various technologies provides a promising opportunity for further investigation and development.

The course “Hightech Entrepreneurship and New Media” combines tutorials and lectures on the development of complex information products with practical experience in start-ups (in this case Humance AG) solving concrete IT related tasks. An important part of the course is the development of soft skills, including presentation, planning and cooperation in a team, as well as communication with the customer. Integrated into the concept of this course is the procurement of useful information for start ups in high-tech branches, taught by practitioners. The outcomes of the project are presented in a public presentation at the end of the course.
