The use of intelligent infrastructure solutions from the edge to the cloud.

The Edge Cloud Continuum's sovereign digital infrastructure for connected and automated mobility control:

»Smart Track«

The use of intelligent infrastructure solutions from the edge – traffic lights and sensors in the infrastructure – to the cloud – smart monitoring of the transport network and infrastructure-assisted automated driving – is demonstrated by Fraunhofer IVI together with the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Internet Technologies CCIT at this year's Hannover Messe 2025.

Smart Track is a valuable basis for traffic control, management and planning and for innovative assistance systems. Using remote camera systems, traffic data can be recorded in real time with automated, efficient processes. Smart Track takes into consideration not only the quality of the traffic flows and their source and destination, but also, for the first time, cyclists and pedestrians. The responsibility for safety is shared, as is the processing of the data. This takes place in part directly in the sensor (at the edge) and in part in the central back-end (the cloud). This combination forms an important building block for the assisted, networked driving of the future.

Experience Smart Track and other exhibits from Fraunhofer CCIT on the topic of “Edge-Cloud-Continuum” at the joint Fraunhofer booth in Hall 2, Booth B24.

Past Events

Closing event of the MEGA-LADEN project with live demo

November 14, 2024, Berlin | Experience the future of automated charging

The participants of the event were able to discover how our innovative automated charging infrastructure is revolutionizing the operation of trucks and the entire logistics sector. They were given a demonstration of our underbody charging system – an automated, space-saving and safe charging solution for e-trucks, thereby gaining exclusive insights into the world of power electronics and charging technology as well as the technical challenges that drive our developments.

At the bonding Institutsmarkt in Dresden, Fraunhofer IVI, along with many institutes from TU Dresden and other organizations presented their innovative projects, job opportunities, new fields of study and career paths.

 

Thank you for meeting us at the event!

FLORIAN 2024

Oktober 10-12, 2024, Dresden

23rd Trade fair for fire brigades, fire-and-disaster control

Fraunhofer IVI once again presented technologies for effectively supporting strategic and operational-tactical decision-making in disaster management. The modular system MobiKat® has been in use for over 15 years in command units, fire departments, command vehicles, public authorities, and control centers.

 

InnoTrans 2024

24. bis 27. September

InnoTrans is the leading international trade fair for transport technology, which takes place every two years in Berlin. Sub-divided into the five trade fair segments Railway Technology, Railway Infrastructure, Public Transport, Interiors and Tunnel Construction, InnoTrans occupies all 42 halls available at Berlin Exhibition Grounds. The InnoTrans Convention, the event’s top-level supporting program, complements the trade fair and will be streamed live.

Under the theme "Railway Technology in Saxony," Fraunhofer IVI, along with other research and development institutions, will showcase technologies in mobility and energy at the joint stand of the Saxony Economic Development Corporation.

The range of transport-related research work covers the areas of vehicle and drive technology and intelligent transport systems, as well as dispatching, logistics and digital business processes. The research work on electromobility focuses on innovative high-power charging technologies and vehicle and drive concepts as well as solutions for remote battery diagnostics and vehicle integrated energy management.

Thank you for your visit!

 

Dresden Science Night

June 14, 2024

On the Dresden Science Night, Dresden's universities, non-university research institutions and science-related companies open their buildings, laboratories, lecture halls and archives to the public. Interested parties can experience science and technology, research and innovation, art and culture in a variety of lectures, experiments, guided tours, exhibitions and films.

 

Review: The Long Night of Science at Fraunhofer IVI

 

SPIN2030 Science Festival

March 8-9, 2024, Dresden

On March 8th (12pm – 10pm) and March 9th (10am – 6pm), the Museum of Science and Technology Dresden will be transformed into a walkable science landscape of Saxony: With exhibits, workshops, clips, a science slam and innovative formats such as »Meet A Scientist«, scientific institutions from Saxony will introduce themselves and present their current projects to a wide target audience.

The »DesignLab for Applied Research« https://designlab.works – a cooperation between the TU Dresden and three of Dresden’s Fraunhofer institutes – will bring visitors closer to the topic of design in research. Multiple projects will be presented, such as the Albacopter®, an experimental aircraft, which combines the maneuverability of the multicopter with the aerodynamic abilities of an albatross, the autonomous agricultural machine of Feldschwarm®, as well as a VR presentation of a robot for maintenance of underwater areas in port facilities and wind turbines.
