The Ars Electronica Festival for ‘Art, Technology and Society’ is starting again in Linz these days. Exactly one year ago, the ‘Spot on MozART’ project by Studio PCA and the Mozarteum University was represented there.
The INNOVATOUR research project (sustainable management of needs-based tourism mobility requirements through data innovations) addresses tourism mobility as an important field of action in transport planning. The aim of the project is to develop new mobility indicators by tapping into and analyzing previously unused data sources in order to better understand mobility behavior in tourism and reduce car use. This involves analyzing a wide range of previously unused or hardly used tourism data, such as overnight stays, booking data and admission tickets. In Salzburg and Styria, practical use cases for needs-based mobility services in the environmental network are being developed. The promotion of safe, affordable and sustainable mobility offers in the tourism context as well as more inclusive access should be at the end of the project.
Researcher Alaa El-Ebshihy was part of the first symposium on AI and robotics in Austria "AIRoV" in Innsbruck. The presentation of one of her articles was also on the programme: it deals with the challenges of so-called "scientific knowledge graphs" and possible solutions.
The so-called ‘synaesthetic AI’ in a new SDIS project brings together sensor inputs and acquired knowledge in aquaponics and thus facilitates the construction and operation of such systems. However, the approach of combining live data and existing data sets for artificial intelligence can be used in all cyber-physical systems.
Shared forms of mobility, sustainable (re)allocation of space and attractive, inclusive, needs-based access to mobility in residential and business areas are the aim of the iSPACE Sharing Hubs project. Vehicles should be shared in these hubs, while the existing parking spaces are also to be used in more than one way. The spatial decoupling of living/working and parking promotes shared mobility. In addition, these sharing hubs can be equipped with low-cost e-charging infrastructure and supplemented with services such as parcel boxes.
The RSA FG puts its talented interns, scholarship holders and Master's students in the spotlight in the new "Testimonials" section.
We give an insight into our SDIS studio and our project in a video.
Together with Lufthansa Aviation Training and RotorSky, RSA FG is continuing its work to further improve training for pilots. The use of mixed reality and eye tracking does not only record the behavior of trainees, but also provide them with direct feedback during training.
Both Studio iSPACE and SDIS took the numerous visitors of the "Long Night of Research" (Lange Nacht der Forschung) into the world of their research, from geoinformatics to vertical indoor food production.
53 project partners came together in St. Pölten for a project meeting as well as a poster and demonstrator walk, organized by the SDIS studio together with the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (FH St. Pölten).
