The role of the regions in the national energy transition was the topic of this year's Mission Innovation Austria Week 2024 in Stegersbach in Burgenland. The session on ‘Spatial energy planning as the key to measure-based municipal Co2 reduction pathways’ presented the results of the GEL S/E/P I and II project bundle.
To develop Schallmoos is the goal of the Transformator:in, and Research Studio iSPACE of RSA FG is on board for it. As part of a course at the Institute of Urban Planning at Graz University of Technology, students presented their ideas for the neighbourhood. To do so, they visited Salzburg and gathered input from the local Trans|formator:in partners.
Looking back at the EdgeAI EEAI 2024 conference.
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.
