How can you sustainably schedule and deploy a fleet of long-haul trucks that often cross entire continents? A research team at the Department of Operations, Energy and Environmental Management at the University of Klagenfurt is investigating this question. Preliminary findings are now available in the form of a mathematical model. Next, the results will be applied to the complex requirements on the road.
Explore and map an area, detect objects and find people in need and then provide them with first aid kits: These are the challenges involved in three competitions in the SAPIENCE project. Four research teams from four universities compete against each other in the competitions to learn from each other. At the first competition, which took place in London at the end of August, the Klagenfurt team was the only team to complete every task without an accident. What makes this special: The team, coordinated by doctoral student Luca Di Pierno, consisted exclusively of Bachelor’s students from the University of Klagenfurt’s Robotics & Artificial Intelligence programme, in addition to Luca and a Master’s graduate.
Six patent applications have already been registered by the ATHENA laboratory this year, with the most recent being granted in June 2024. The technologies protected by the patents were developed in collaboration between the University of Klagenfurt and Bitmovin. A total of 15 researchers are currently working on innovations in video streaming at the Christian Doppler Laboratory.
Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is the only Austrian city to take part in the EU mission “100 Climate-neutral and Smart Cities by 2030”. Numerous ambitious and financially intensive projects are being planned and implemented to help achieve the climate targets, from decarbonising the bus fleet to expanding the supply of green electricity. The University of Klagenfurt will support the city in its efforts to achieve climate neutrality by providing expertise from a wide range of disciplines in the social, cultural, economic and technical sciences. To this end, funding is being provided by the Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) to establish the “City Science Lab (University of Klagenfurt): Climate & Cities Missions in Action”. Funds totalling more than one million euros have now been approved.
