Salzburg Research is thus the first organization in Austria to receive a test certificate from BMVIT in order to carry out tests with an autonomous vehicle on public roads on the basis of the AutomFahrV. Under the direction of Salzburg Research, the Digibus explores important questions about automated mobility for the “last mile”. The last mile – the way from the stop to the home or destination – is a critical aspect for the customer acceptance of existing public transport. Automated vehicles could close this gap in the future.

  • Projekt: NIMBLE

    […] Playing an active role in the global economic system will be one of the future challenges for European small to medium enterprises. Even today, it is hard for smaller companies to be sufficiently visible in the WWW. Many firms have no option other than joining the big platforms like eBay or Amazon and they have to pay a significant portion of their margins to remain visible via these platforms, or to place advertisements that are tailored to customer segments. The NIMBLE project is developing an open source infrastructure for a B2B platform that can be customised by providers. It will be possible to specialise the platform to suit regional markets or to suit specific sectors of industry and commerce. By using the platform, small to medium enterprises can define supply chains and can even synchronise their production logistics in order to optimise their production schedules. The business model envisaged for platform providers is that […]

  • Projekt: UNDERSTANDER

    […] an explicit domain model of BI that can be parameterised to suit the specific needs of the end-user SME. The domain model is injected into the evaluation function of the agent (this is the function which regulates the agent’s search behaviour). The BI model will be encoded in a variant of R.C. Schank’s Conceptual Dependency Theory from the early 1970s. The software agent translates documents that fit the customised schemata, into a series of statements that are valid according to the model. It then saves these statements in a knowledge base, together with references to the sources. Our chosen method is to tackle the four main issues in “R&D sprints” of 2 months duration, followed by two validation rounds. The sprints include the building of feasibility prototypes in SWI-Prolog. We will use RESTful services for communication. Expected Results and Findings We expect four major results: (1) a generally applicable, controlled vocabulary for BI; (2) […]

  • Publikation: Smart Media Archive.

    Nowadays, professional Media Asset Management systems are a standard tool for many organizations to manage their media assets. The classification of media must be sophisticated enough to remain stable throughout several decades. However, even the most sophisticated classification scheme covers only particular aspects of the archive domain. Furthermore, the public understanding of the domain may evolve over time. In our approach, the system is opened to communities which classify the media themselves building their own folksonomy. The folksonomy is analyzed using semantic technologies and then compared to the organization’s classification. Using this approach, the organization obtains two key benefits. Firstly, knowledge can be adapted as the community notices different aspects of the organization’s media. Secondly, the organization can gain more insight about their community and can use this experience as a direct input in the product innovation process and therefore increase market orientation as well as customer retention.

  • Erfolgsstory: Mobile gait analysis in everyday life for prosthesis users

    […] sock worn on the prosthesis and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Salzburg Research was commissioned to develop an algorithm for detecting the ground contact time difference between the prosthesis and the healthy foot for this system and to test it in a study. The contact time difference is considered a decisive gait parameter in the analysis of a symmetrical gait pattern. Benefit With the study for Saphenus Medical Technology, Salzburg Research proved that the developed system provides valid data for the care of leg amputees in rehabilitation. The system further developed by Salzburg Research enables the analysis of the contact time difference as a decisive spatio-temporal gait parameter on the basis of steps recorded in everyday life. Thus, medical advice on rehabilitation can be given based on a much larger and, above all, everyday database. A visit to the clinic will no longer be necessary for prosthesis wearers in the future, as the data […]

  • Post: Tourism in Salzburg: Ideas Wanted

    According to the travel guide book publisher “Lonely Planet”, Salzburg is the best city to travel in 2020. Ideas are needed for the interaction between locals and guests! The city of Salzburg was elevated to the tourist aristocracy this week: The travel guide book publisher “Lonely Planet” has named it the “best city to travel” in 2020. For 15 years, Lonely Planet has selected ten top cities, countries and regions each year. Salzburg took first place among the cities in 2020, followed by Washington DC, Cairo, Galway (Ireland) and Bonn. Decisive were the themes of the city, the incomparable experience and the “wow-effect”. In addition to the festivals with the baroque old town as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the high culture of exhibitions to concerts, the medieval fortress and the mountain panorama Salzburg has much to offer here. That this will flush “accolade” more guests to Salzburg is to be expected according to previous […]

It knows the needs of guests quite well and sometimes it is successful in picking up on hints of tourists. This is the starting point of our work: By means of two workshops, that took place in spring 2013, as well as further extensive desk research, we develop a voluminous catalogue of customer needs. Then, these needs shall be assessed and analysed with a dual online survey targeted at tourists as well as tourism experts in […]

  • Publikation: A Rapid Prototyping Software Framework for Early Acceptance Testing of Mobile Applications.

    […] acceptance in tourism, particularly tourist services like city, sport or museum guides. The potential of mobile services is difficult to estimate a priori because hardly any user acceptance tests can be carried out before having a concrete implementation of that service. Due to this fact, enterprises risk potentially high misinvestments because of the wrong decision to develop a mobile application which does not get accepted on the market. This paper introduces a software framework which proposes to integrate rapid prototyping into the development process in order to be able to conduct early acceptance tests in the real user context. This approach allows savings in time and cost and increases in quality and customer satisfaction. As a showcase, the proposed methodology was applied to the development of a mobile TourGuide to plan and conduct tours and subsequently, confronted with the efforts of conventional mobile software engineering. Keywords: Rapid Prototyping, Mobile Applications, Acceptance Testing, Software Framework Development

    […] assign them to concrete consumer needs and, subsequently, translate them into promising new ideas and solutions for innovation. These will be packaged into “Innovation Subscriptions”, i.e. tailored, scalable and visualized short reports which companies will receive several times a year (between two and six times). They include relevant trends and ideas for concrete products, business models or process innovations. They will allow companies to develop tailored products and services that meet the demands of consumers and thus strengthen the company’s position in an increasingly competitive market. Our primary target group will be companies in the sports and leisure industry situated in German speaking countries. Within the consumer goods sector, especially these enterprises have to react swiftly towards changing customer needs and interests and market conditions and will therefore be able to benefit strongly. Innovation Signals will enable them to vigorously enhance their innovative capability and reduce the flop rate when introducing new products and services.
