Abstract This study examines spillover effects following Volkswagen’s admission of emissions cheating. We first estimate initial operational losses 8.45% equity market capitalization on the date before announcement, reputational up to five times these losses, and significant negative shocks its stocks bonds. Analyzing from this shock beyond usually only measured in value, we find net European c...

This paper analyses the influence of type electrode in a spark plug on exhaust gas emission. The objects research were following vehicles different years production: Volkswagen Beetle 1300, Honda Nighthawk 650, BMW e46 318i, Hyundai i10, and Audi A4 B6. powered by petrol LPG. Spark plugs selected for vehicles, with kinds construction main electrodes numbers poles but similar heat values. A comp...

In 2015 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency revealed that German car manufacturer Volkswagen had illegally installed software to produce fake NOx-emissions results. This study aims analyze how news media framed VW’s role. Furthermore, since scandal shifted from a single company an industry-wide crisis, this contribution also establish whether reframed crisis as phenomenon in 2018. The resu...

This paper describes a new technique for object recognition based on learning appearance models. The image is decomposed into local regions which are described by a new texture representation derived from the output of multiscale, multiorientation filter banks. We call this representation “Generalized Second Moments” as it can be viewed as a generalization of the windowed second moment matrix r...

This paper describes a new technique for object recognition based on learning appearance models. The image is decomposed into local regions which are described by a new texture representation called “Generalized Second Moments” that are derived from the output of multiscale, multiorientation filter banks. Class-characteristic local texture features and their global composition is learned by a h...

Multi-sensor object tracking is an important feature for advanced driver assistance systems in future automobiles. Most state-of-the-art systems cannot guarantee deterministic processing of the sensor values due to unsynchronized sensing and processing units. To overcome this shortcoming we propose a paradigm shift towards a time-triggered system architecture providing a deterministic bus syste...

Nowadays, customer products like vehicles do not only contain mechanical parts but also a highly complex software and their manufacturers have to offer many variants of technically very similar systems with sometimes only small differences in their behavior. The proper reuse of software artifacts which realize this behavior using a software product line is discussed in recent literature and app...

The paper outlines the scope of influence of digital factory on the interpersonal communication process and the exemplary description of them. On the basis of a brief description about the theoretical basic concepts of the digital factory occurs the illustration of communicative features in digital factory. Practical coherences of interpersonal communication from a human oriented view were anal...

A new approach for an automatic consistency check in the development of prototypes in the automotive industry is presented. It is based on the observation that inconsistencies between adjacent parts of the prototype can be located at the plugs connecting these parts. This paper describes the PLUG software system whose idea is to assign intelligence to every plug in the system in order to contin...
