For the “Intelligent Video Surveillance“ project, Fraunhofer IOSB's VID department is developing a system that can detect possible crimes based on movement patterns and alert police officers in the command and situation center. Facial recognition is not part of the solution approach.

In order to be better protected from enemy attacks, the camouflage of soldiers and vehicles is to be improved in the ACROSS project.

The Industrial Security Testing Framework "ISuTest" is a tool for finding weak points in the implementation of automation components. Discovered weak points can be corrected by the manufacturer and thus reduce the component's vulnerability. In the future, robustness against attacks will be a quality criterion with which manufacturers can distinguish themselves from others.

The aim of the IDEAL project was to determine the need for and create tools and procedures that provide support for authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS) in situational awareness and updating through automated live evaluation of drone data.

In any operation conducted by emergency services such as firefighters, police, or rescue services, the first steps are situation reconnaissance and risk assessment. Drones that transmit live video to the ground control station, can offer a great advantage, especially in complex incidents that are spread over large areas.

The aim of the DRUM project is to create tools that provide support for drone teams and the operational management of BOS in the security monitoring of mass events. The main task is to automate the evaluation of sensor data and to create a means of transmitting and clearly visualizing the results, enabling the incident command team to quickly and easily assess the situation, identify dangerous situations and locate relevant events.

The internally funded project is aimed at developing a software-based system for defining dynamic safety zones. This should make it possible to fulfill functional safety requirements in modular, dynamically changing production environments in a way that saves time and money.

A holistic optimization of district heating supply areas offers great potential, for example, through the feed-in of renewable energies, network expansion, energy savings and cost reduction, as well as a reduction in CO2 emissions. The aim is to initially make synergies visible by exchanging and combining data/information that has not been exchanged before, and ultimately to generate added value for as many participants as possible.

In SALSA, research is focused on vehicle interiors for cars and trucks. These should be adaptable to a wide range of driving situations, including allowing relaxed sleeping, but also safe takeover of the driving task and intuitive use of driver assistance and automated driving functions.
