Successful research on augmented reality in nuclear facilities: Best Paper Award for Pascal Mosler

Augmented reality can support the planning, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. A new method for the precise positioning of virtual content was recently honored at ICONE32.

Master's Thesis Honored

How can a flood evacuation be simulated in virtual reality?

In the English-language project “Real-time evacuations due to flooding in Frankfurt – a VR study”, master’s students in civil and environmental engineering developed and tested an interdisciplinary research project.

The consortium partners met at the BAW in Karlsruhe for the public project launch.

In the HyProTwin research project, semantic, AI-supported models are being developed to map digital twins of waterway structures. The aim is to intelligently link previously isolated and heterogeneous databases and make them usable for planning, maintenance and operation in a process-orientated manner.

Presentations and discussions on new methods and technologies in construction informatics promote the international exchange of knowledge and strengthen the network in the field.

In August 2024, our employees attended the International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE) in Montreal, Canada. There, they presented their latest research findings and approaches on topics such as explainable AI, BIM integration and blockchain applications.

Young researchers present their research results

The Startup Port provided the backdrop for the three-day conference, which took place in Hamburg Harburg from 18th to 20th September 2024.
