It knows that I don’t know enough: How smart search engines can complement our knowledge
Most of us use search engines every day, but we’d most like to find the things we don’t know – yet. What if the search systems could understand that need and provide us with the complementing information? Our Research Studio Data Science is working on that question.
“Flughafen 4.0”: How Salzburg Airport is to become an innovative transport hub
Salzburg Airport is an important economic driver, but it is not very well integrated into the everyday transport system of the surrounding area. The "Flughafen 4.0 - Airport 4.0" project is now intended to anchor it as a hub in Salzburg's multimodal transport network: under the leadership of the Research Studio iSPACE of RSA FG, innovative ideas and competences from science and business are being linked for this purpose.
Land consumption remains a top issue: How digital technologies can help
One solution to keep the consumption of green spaces within limits is redensification. The newspaper "Die Presse" reported on how digital tools can help in an article on 16 October 2021.
Spatial planning: This is how politics and science fight excessive soil consumption
Political representatives and scientific experts discussed strategies against land consumption.The conference "Österreich verschwindet ('Austria is disappearing') II", organised by the Research Studios Austria FG and the Chamber of Civil Engineers Upper Austria-Salzburg, took place on 12 October at Hellbrunn Palace in Salzburg.
ECoDES: How the digitalisation can help save our planet
Can digital products be a solution against overproduction and environmental pollution? The planned Europe-wide ECoDES project wants to save our planet by reducing the consumption and production of physical products while kick-starting the creation of digital goods.
Approaching Agriculture 4.0: Smart Farming in Lower Austria
What does the future of agriculture look like? Can digital innovations help to ensure security of supply and sustainability? Together with two Lower Austrian partners, the Research Studios Austria FG is developing initiatives in the field of Smart Farming - for a future-proof Agriculture 4.0.
RSA FG expands its network: Membership in the Austrian Construction Engineering Association (ÖBV)
In the Austrian Construction Technology Association (ÖBV), the construction industry and research institutions work together to make Austria's infrastructure fit for the future. Since this year, the RSA FG is now also a member of this network. A first joint project has already been implemented by the Research Studio SAT since 2020.
ChatGPT – Innovative Language Generation Model
ChatGPT is a new and innovative language generation model created by OpenAI. This AI-powered chatbot has the ability to generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions, making it a great tool for natural language processing. ChatGPT is based on the transformer architecture and has been trained on a massive corpus of text data, allowing it to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses. One of the biggest advantages of ChatGPT is its ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, including question answering, conversation generation, and language translation. This makes it a versatile tool for a wide range of industries, from customer service to education. ChatGPT can also be integrated into existing chat applications, making it easy to use and accessible to a large audience. However, like all AI models, ChatGPT has some limitations. It can sometimes generate irrelevant or nonsensical responses, especially when the input is ambiguous or unclear. The model is also not able to understand the nuances and emotions of human conversation, making it unsuitable for certain tasks such as counseling or therapy. Additionally, there are concerns about the ethical implications of using AI-powered chatbots to interact with people, especially in situations where people might not be aware they are speaking to a machine. Note that the text above was generated by ChatGPT. ChatGPT is but one popular example of an array of emerging AI-based language technologies that we utilize at RSA's Data Science studio. We believe that the adaptation of such technologies will allow us to take our research to the next level and that it can [...]
“Der Standard” on ULTIMOB & Airport 4.0
The Austrian daily newspaper "Der Standard" reports in a research special on two successful projects from the Research Studio iSPACE - Smart Settlement Systems: ULTIMOB and Airport 4.0. For example, the Ultimob use case Leogang is cited as a successful example. In cooperation with the Salzburg Transport Association and the province of Salzburg, the project analyses the need for a "micro-public transport" system integrated into the environmental network. Together with the municipality, a flexible shuttle service was developed. The Loigom Shuttle has been in operation since September and offers an attractive service for locals and tourists. The aim of the "Airport 4.0" project, on the other hand, is to plan and implement future-oriented mobility services at Salzburg Airport. iSPACE is working together with the airport operator, the City and Province of Salzburg, the Salzburg Transport Association and the IDA-Lab of the Paris-Lodron University Salzburg to develop the airport into a multifunctional transport hub. The full version of the article can be found here For more information on the projects see: Research results from ULTIMOB enable innovative pilot project in Leogang - Research Studios Austria FG Airport 4.0 - Research Studios Austria FG The University of Salzburg (PLUS) and the RSA FG / Studio iSPACE cooperate with the aim of bringing innovations in the context of data science (geoinformatics) more quickly into entrepreneurial and social applications (strengthening third mission activities).
What Spatial Energy Planning can do against climate change
Effective climate protection needs joint measures at the societal level - and these need coordination. Spatial energy planning makes it possible to exploit the potential of renewable energies and make the best possible use of available resources.
