Projects

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.

The goal of the project is to create innovations, concepts, and energy-efficient solutions addressing the entire video streaming value chain from video creation to processing, delivery, and their usage on consumer devices.

In the EXPAND+ER WB³ project, the vision of educator Otto Herz is applied to the field of vocational education. The technology partners of the BMBF-funded EXPAND+ER WB³ project develop a scalable platform that protects privacy and enables users to search for and receive recommendations for further education courses.
