    […] companies are testing and researching methods, technologies and models for the reliable and safe operation of automated vehicles for regional public transport. The Salzburg partners Salzburg Research, the University of Salzburg and Commend International presented newly integrated mechanisms for passenger interaction in preparation for completely driverless operation at the Commend test area in Salzburg at the beginning of November. Cornelia Zankl (Salzburg Research), Klaus Hirschegger (Commend International), Ahmed Noor (Land Salzburg), Alexander Mirnig (Center for Human-Computer Interaction der Universität Salzburg) Since April 2018, the Digibus® Austria shuttle has had to prove itself time and again in a test operation. “Autonomous driving is becoming the absolute game changer for our mobility behavior – away from the private sphere and towards service. Automated shuttles can be an important feeder, especially for connecting rural areas to public transport”, says Salzburg Regional Transport Councilor Stefan Schnöll with conviction. “We are still classifying the bus at level 3 on […]

  • Leistung: Movement Data Based Evaluation of Transport Infrastructures

    How efficient is a transport infrastructure? What is the quality of the traffic flow? Where and when are there restrictions in the flow of traffic? How is the quality of the transport infrastructure perceived by users? What effects do structural and traffic measures achieve? Salzburg Research answers questions about the evaluation of the quality of transport infrastructures on the basis of real movement data and current scientific evaluation methods. Your Added Value Quantified, independent evaluations based on real movement data and scientific methods. Depending on the question, use of suitable data sources (Floating Car Data, Bluetooth/WLAN travel time measurements, smartphone-based measurement data, IMU-based measurement data, C-ITS data) Evaluation methods for different modes of transport (cars, public transport, bicycle traffic) Identification of problem areas or possible causes of problems Comparisons of traffic quality between traffic modes (e.g. car and public transport) Well-founded evaluation of the effect of measures Efficient processing of large amounts of measurement […]

  • Publikation: Why did a vehicle stop? A methodology for detection and classification of stops in vehicle trajectories

    Abstract Trajectory data mining is a lively research field in the domain of spatio-temporal data mining. Trajectory pattern mining comprises a set of specific pattern mining methods, which are applied as consecutive steps on a trajectory with the goal to extract and classify re-occurring spatio-temporal patterns. Despite the common nature and frequent usage of such methods by the GIScience community, a methodological approach is missing so far, especially when it comes to the use of machine learning-based classification methods. The current work closes this gap by proposing and evaluating a machine learning-based 3-steps trajectory data mining methodology using the detection and classification of stop points in vehicle trajectories as example. The work describes in detail the applied methodologies with respect to the three mining steps ‘stop detection’, ‘feature extraction’ and ‘classification in traffic-relevant and non-traffic-relevant stops’ and evaluates six machine learning-based classification algorithms using a real-world dataset of 15,498 vehicle trajectories with 5,899 detected stops […]

  • Publikation: Live Dabei – Echtzeit-Verkehrsdaten erfassung als Grundlage für ein effektives Verkehrsmanagement

    Abstract Durch eine stetig steigende Verkehrsnachfrage stoßen Verkehrssysteme immer häufiger an ihre Kapazitätsgrenzen. Betreiber von Verkehrssystemen sind daher zunehmend mit der Herausforderung konfrontiert, Verkehrsabläufe zu optimieren um eine hohe Leistungsfähigkeit des Verkehrssystems dauerhaft zu gewährleisten. Diese Optimierung von Verkehrsabläufen wird als Verkehrsmanagement bezeichnet. Neben der Definition und Umsetzung von Verkehrsmanagementmaßnahmen, setzt effektives Verkehrsmanagement vor allem eine qualitativ hochwertige Beobachtung des aktuellen Verkehrsgeschehens voraus. Der Beitrag beschreibt am Beispiel des Systems EVIS.AT (Echtzeit-Verkehrsinformation Straße Österreich), wie eine Echtzeit-nahe, flächenhafte Verkehrsbeobachtung umgesetzt werden kann und welche Rolle dabei Geoinformationstechnologien spielen. Den Schwerpunkt der Betrachtung bildet dabei ein zentrales Server-System für die Echtzeit-nahe Analyse großer Mengen von Fahrzeug-generierten Bewegungstrajektorien.

  • Erfolgsstory: Does the Software Keep what it Promises? Independent Stress Test for Complex Requirements

    Decision support before purchasing new software: Realistic simulation and measurement of how the software copes with the expected load and what effects the application has on the network infrastructure. Salzburg Research answered important questions for an international logistics service provider before purchasing new software for handling global air and sea freight.With the help of a complex test, real servers were loaded with any number of virtual clients and accesses.This made it possible to realistically simulate and measure how the software copes with the expected load and what effects the application has on the network infrastructure. Challenge An international logistics service provider is investing in new software for handling global air and sea freight. However, it is unclear whether the shortlisted software will cope with the expected load and what effects the new application will have on the network infrastructure. Over a thousand users in thirty different countries around the world will work with the […]

  • Post: When the Ski Advises to Stop at the Hut

    […] ski treadmill of the ski middle school Windischgarsten. The participants did their turns on the treadmill for 30 to 45 minutes. Various sensor configurations have been tested. Both body-worn sensors and stationary environmental sensors were used. Numerous biomechanical and psychophysiological parameters were recorded: exhalation gases, muscle activity, muscle oxygen saturation, data from rotation rate and acceleration sensors as well as heart rate variability and breathing patterns. The goal is to find out how qualitative and, until now, often only subjectively assessable signs of fatigue such as heavy legs or material fatigue can be measured. For some applications, we can use sensor systems that are already working from previous research projects by Salzburg Research, for other sensors such as piezoelectric foils, research is still very experimental. The findings from the laboratory are now continuously tested on the slopes under real conditions. In the future, both professional and amateur athletes will benefit from ideally adapted ski equipment.
