Pro²Future: Reliable wireless communication

Cars are becoming more intelligent every day. They are being fitted with more and more cognitive applications. Cognitive means that they are able to react autonomously to particular situations on the basis of information and knowledge. For this, reliable communication between numerous components is of crucial importance. The differences found in a car’s surroundings are considerable. Communication systems are therefore necessary that can be adapted perfectly and easily to the circumstances the vehicle finds itself in. To this end, Pro²Future is conducting the DRIWE research project.

SAL & LCM: IoT and AI Go Together Like the Chicken and the Egg

IoT (the Internet of Things) and AI (artificial intelligence) could be said to go together like the chicken and the egg. Artificial intelligence uses machine learning to turn data from the IoT into useful information, while the IoT adds value to AI through its connections and data exchange. The symbiosis of these two technologies (AIoT) is thus the next rung on the evolutionary ladder and is the aim of the InSecTT project being carried out by a consortium of leading international research institutions.
