The business model envisaged for platform providers is that approximately 1000 – 2000 connected enterprises would make a platform economically viable. Different business models can be supported, e.g. a region may run a platform as not-for-profit infrastructure in order to attract entrepreneurs to the region. Salzburg Research leads the NIMBLE consortium and its 16 further partners. IBM will be contributing Cloud-Solutions and Internet-of-Things infrastructure. Whirlpool Italy is one of the four industrial user organisations of NIMBLE and they will use the platform to bring third-party service technicians into their virtual enterprise. Three further use cases will come from house building, furniture manufacturing and the textile sector. The scientific and technical challenges of the project are security and privacy of business data, the extensibility of the platform and at the same time, ensuring interoperability across the different, federated […]

The sensor technology generates so-called point clouds, in which the vehicles can be precisely located and the distance to the bicycle can be accurately measured. This data is incorporated into the scientific evaluation of the measures and provides a reliable basis for decisions regarding traffic planning.

The city of Salzburg aims to improve the quality of the cycling infrastructure and, consequently, the safety of cyclists in the city. The cycle lanes are marked on the ground with road markings. This is intended to draw the attention of drivers to potential cyclists and raise their awareness. The results should provide the city of Salzburg’s planning department with a scientifically sound basis for increasing road safety for cyclists on narrow roads in the future.

  • Publikation: RADBEST: Radverkehrsführung bei beengten Straßenverhältnissen.

    Die angestrebten hohen Radverkehrsanteile in Städten und Gemeinden erfordern ein durchgängiges, qualitativ hochwertiges Radverkehrsnetz. Die Straßenquerschnitte auf Hauptstraßen sind mitunter jedoch nicht ausreichend breit, um richtlinienkonforme, baulich getrennte Radverkehrsanlagen zu errichten. Mangels geeigneter Ausweichrouten verbleiben oftmals genau diese Netzelemente als Lücken im Radverkehrsnetz. Im länderübergreifenden Forschungsprojekt RADBEST wurde daher untersucht, wie Radfahren auf Hauptstraßen bei beengten Verhältnissen sicherer und komfortabler gestaltet werden kann. Für diese ausgewählten Straßenabschnitte galt es im Projekt, geeignete Lösungsansätze für die Radinfrastruktur zu finden, die auch unter nicht optimalen Rahmenbedingungen ein möglichst sicheres und komfortables Benutzen für alle Gruppen von Radfahrer:innen ermöglichen.

This provides travelers with comprehensive information for the entire travel route. The easier it is to access all routing data, the more likely travelers will be to use climate-friendly mobility. The feasibility of this solution is being tested in two pilot regions, the Salzkammergut and the Nassfeld-Lesachtal-Weissensee region, from data collection to integration into a route planning system. Recommendations for action and framework conditions for implementation across Austria will be derived from the results of this testing. The research project “DiToMo – Digitization of tourist mobility offers for the last mile” is funded by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology as part of Mobility 2023 – Urban Mobility and Vehicle Technologies.

  • Post: Smart Charge Management for Electric Bus Fleets

    Together with partners, Salzburg Research is developing a unique charging management solution for large electric bus fleets that enables smart charging and takes into account both energy consumption and energy costs. Since December 2023, Albus has been operating Salzburg’s first fully electric bus lines with seven e-buses, with seven more e-buses to follow in 2024. However, the more e-buses in a fleet are in use, the more challenging loading management becomes. So far, telematics solutions, software for load management, and operational management have been run in parallel as individual components. The innovation in the new charging management is that, for the first time, all components are integrated into a holistic and comprehensive software solution and that energy consumption and energy costs are also taken into account. Energy- and demand-based charging of e-bus fleets is to be possible automatically. For this purpose, data inputs from different sources are smartly linked together: an optimized charging management […]

  • Publikation: Towards the Future of Sustainable Mobility: Results from a European Survey on (Electric) Powered-Two Wheelers.

    […] attitudes towards E-mobility to create sustainable transport solutions that will be broadly accepted. An online survey with N = 432 participants across Europe was conducted. The majority of respondents came from Germany, followed by Italy, Austria and Sweden. Generally, cars are the main vehicle for personal transport. PTWs are used for commuting as well as leisure activity. Driving experience, easier parking and lower maintenance compared to cars are major reasons to choose a PTW. No differences between younger and elderly participants were observed. E-PTWs are primarily avoided due to high costs, range anxiety and expected problems with the charging infrastructure. To support sustainable mobility, these obstacles need to be overcome. One aspect is definitely the provision of better charging infrastructure or electric vehicles with increased range. Hence, given typical trip lengths and purposes, it might seem equally important to tackle prejudices and increase the knowledge about E-mobility with all its potential benefits in the population.

  • Projekt: Bike2CAV – Avoidance of cyclist collisions thanks to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication

    […] Transport Analytics (MTA) is responsible for the overall coordination of the project, as well as for its scientific management. In addition, in this project, MTA focuses its research activities on methods and their validation for the precise self-localisation of cyclists and evaluates the quality of these localisations. The aim of the project is to validate the methods developed by field-testing an integrated proof-of-concept prototype at two different intersections. Salzburg Research is also responsible for this task. The Innovation and Value Creation (IVC) research group methodically supports the development of concepts for data-based collision warning systems through modern co-creation and design methods. Project funding The Bike2CAV research project runs from September 2020 until April 2023. It has funding of 1.29 million Euros from the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology as part of the FTI “Future Mobility” program. The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) has been authorised for the programme management.

In order to benefit from the emerging Industrial Internet, manufacturing companies will have to adapt their current automation infrastructure. While it is not clear at this stage which protocols and technologies will become mainstream for the Industrial Internet, it has become clear that security and privacy (e.g. concerning intellectual property and trade secrets) will feature strongly in any risk assessment concerning the adoption of practices using the Industrial Internet. IoT4Industry explored the use of policy-enacting, multi-agent systems that securely manage machines and manufacturing cells. Problem and initial situation Many manufacturing firms have already achieved high levels of automation and productivity. In other words, their company-wide productivity potentials are largely exploited. However, most manufacturers are highly specialised and their products are being supplied to diverse downstream manufacturers and integrators. While supply chain management in certain sectors […]
