• Publikation: Interactive visualizations for assessing car-to-bicycle overtaking manoeuvres

    Cycling has been acknowledged by the European Commission through the Declaration on Cycling as a healthy and sustainable mode of transport to be encouraged (European Commission, 2023a). However, in the past decade (2010-2020), the number of cycling fatalities in Europe did not decrease compared to other modes of transport (European Commission, 2023b) and missing bicycle infrastructure enhances accident risk (European Commission, 2022). When sharing the road, motorized vehicles pose a potential safety risk when overtaking bicyclists (Rasch et al., 2022). Numerous studies investigate overtaking manoeuvres by equipping bicycles with dedicated sensors, such as cameras, laser rangefinders, ultrasonic or LiDAR sensors (Beck et al., 2021; Dozza et al., 2016; López et al., 2020; Louro et al., 2023; Rasch et al., 2022). The predominant approach focusses on measuring the lateral clearance during the passing phase (Beck et al., 2021; López et al., 2020; Louro et al., 2023; Rasch et al., 2022). Dozza et al. (2016) propose […]

  • Post: Innovation support for the tourism, sports and leisure industry

    […] A start-up is planning a novel, AI-based app for improved outdoor experiences. The requirements of the stakeholders who necessarily need to be involved are unclear. The company needs better access to the ecosystem of the Austrian leisure industry and would like to analyse the innovation potential in advance in order to advance digital product development in the most targeted way possible. For the implementation, the company needs a financing service, e.g. in the form of crowdfunding. “At all these points – access to the ecosystem and relevant stakeholders, innovation potential analysis up to crowdfunding – the EDIH “Crowd in Motion” offers active support,” says Lassnig. “In addition, there are comprehensive training services and offers for rapid prototyping.

How safe and comfortable are (bicycle) infrastructures? Ana how can they be assessed objectively? Salzburg Research investigated various methods, bicycle safety and comfort in road traffic can be reliably and meaningfully recorded and assessed with. Together with partners, Salzburg Research has tested various methods under real conditions, which can be used to identify problematic places in the infrastructure in the future. 24 voluntary cyclists in Vienna and Salzburg have recorded their cycling routes every day with different tools. The recording of the movement data took place with the smartphone, which detected the GPS position, acceleration, steering direction and inclination. With a helmet camera videos from the perspective of the cyclist were recorded. The time data recorded with the smartphone were analysed using specially developed algorithms. As a result, strong impacts and unevenness as well […]

  • Projekt: AlTrOPiC – AI-based Anomaly Diagnosis and Traffic Prediction for Service Orchestration and Placement in Clouds

    The AITrOPiC project focus on the research and development of AI-based methods to enable automated provisioning of services and processing resources in cloud-based computing infrastructures. Cloud-based computing enables the provisioning of computing, storage, and networking resources in the dynamic fashion. This concept has become the cornerstone of many modern software applications and services. Cloud computing has, however, evolved into a vast and complex ecosystem of technologies, products and services. As a consequence, efficient and effective cloud management has become a major challenge. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are regarded as useful tools and potential solutions to make networks self-aware and self-managed by incorporating intelligence in the Cloud networks. Particularly, AI may enable networks to learn from experience to make them more robust against vulnerabilities and failures. AI-based applications have the potential to further automate network management and thereby improve performance and efficiency.
