Research

iCity 2: UDigit4iCity

Urban Digital Twins for the iCity: The UDigiT4iCity project investigates current issues regarding the use of urban data for urban digital twins. The collection, aggregation and use of Internet of Things (IoT) data in urban buildings and its provision for smart city platforms is being investigated in. The usability of 5G for urban sensor networks is being explored in.

KNIGHT

This BMBF- and MWK-funded project on „Artificial Intelligence for Education at HFT Stuttgart – KNIGHT“ focusses firstly on the individualisation of student learning processes and the support of professors in their supervisory tasks and secondly on the development of competences that promote the trustworthy and competent use of AI technology.

iCity: ICT4iCity

Information and communication technology (ICT) is an important component of the smart city. Thematic areas addressed are: Smart Public Buildings and Infrastructures 5G-4-iCity see https://www.hft-stuttgart.com/research/projects/current/ict4icity

iCity:EnSim4iCity

Sensor data is increasingly being collected and made available in the course of smart building, smart city and Industry 4.0 projects. Sub-project 2 is investigating potential as well as suitability of decentralized wireless solutions for industrial buildings.

DigiLab4U

Digitisation in education and research enables new forms of location-independent networking of laboratory infrastructures. This involves mastering technical, organisational and didactic challenges. A research consortium consisting of the University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart (HFT), the Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics (BIBA), the Institute for Knowledge Media (IWM) of the University of Koblenz-Landau, RWTH Aachen and the University of Parma is meeting these challenges in the project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). see www.digilab4u.com
