Projects

In the Reallabor Hamburg (RealLabHH) the mobility of tomorrow will be tested in the here and now of a metropolis in order to create a blueprint for the digital mobility of the future. Fraunhofer FOKUS is developing with partners a digital collision warning system for vulnerable road users such as cyclists and e-scooter drivers.

The ERIC project aims to improve the care of patients before and after intensive medical treatment. The aim of the project is to apply scientific findings consistently and to connect patients to a new telemedical intensive care network.

Quadriga is a joint project of leading scientific institutions in the Berlin/Brandenburg metropolitan region with the objective to develop a supra-regional data competence centre for digital humanities, administrative science, computer science and information science.

The ProEnv project is working on smart production and maintenance environments of the future.

The project “Berliner Digitaler Bahnbetrieb” (BerDiBa) tests and develops technologies for automated driving on railroads. Fraunhofer FOKUS will use its expertise in environment perception for automated vehicles and adapt its artificial intelligence tools for traffic on rails.

The study “Automation Approaches for Digital Therapies - State of the Art” provides information on where automatisms support medical or therapeutic actions to improve the quality of medical treatment or to relieve medical staff.

The ALADIN project aims to ensure safer forest firefighting in the future employing demand-oriented 5G networking of emergency forces and response resources. As a first step, a nomadic, i.e. local and temporary, network is being set up at the Schönhagen airfield in Brandenburg. The network will then be used as a basis for controlling unmanned response equipment and monitoring and securing the site of operations.

The European Union currently offers two Open Data portals: the EU Open Data Portal and the European Data Portal. In order to create a central contact point for high-quality data within Europe, both portals are now to be transferred into the joint portal Data.Europa.EU. Fraunhofer FOKUS is developing its technological “heart”.

5G-VICTORI is a large scale EU funded project that aims at validating 5G networks with vertical user cases. Large scale trials for Railway, Energy, Media and Factories of the Future are planned. The testbed infrastructure for the Berlin trials is provided by Fraunhofer FOKUS.

The aim of the project is to digitally complement or even replace classic event formats by using new immersive media formats when physical presence is not possible. The new media formats, include for example 3D audio, 360° videos, light fields and volumetric videos.
