AutoMap - Development of a robust positioning system for autonomous vehicles based on captured environmental information and GNSS/IMU dataDetermining the exact position of vehicles is not only crucial for autonomous driving, but also for many other applications. However, existing technologies, such as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) or inertial measurement units (IMU), are reaching their limits due to interference and inaccuracies, especially in urban areas.Led by: Hamza Alkhatib, Sören VogelTeam:Year: 2023Duration: 2023-2025

port_AI – A fully digital twin for port structures using IoT, 5G, BIM, AR and AI methods to establish smart building lifecycle managementThe requirements for the safety and reliability of infrastructure management of infrastructure in the area of sea and inland ports are constantly increasing due to the growing globalisation of trade. The creation of a smart infrastructure should solve various challenges in the management of existing port infrastructure in this project. Digitisation and the use of AI processes are also included in this project under the term smart infrastructure. Only a thoroughly digital management of port infrastructure enables the economical use of resources, forward-looking maintenance, and early and comprehensive damage detection and assessment. This can lead to significant cost savings.Led by: Ingo Neumann, Hamza Alkhatib, Mohammad OmidalizarandiTeam:Year: 2021Funding: Funding programme for innovative port technologies (IHATEC) supported by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI)Duration: 12/2021 – 02/2025

Measurement system analysis and model-based sensor fusion for hydrographic water exchange zone monitoring using unmanned carrier systemsThe aim of the project "Measurement system analysis and model-based sensor fusion for hydrographic water exchange zone monitoring with unmanned carrier systems (WaMUT)", which the GIH is working on on behalf of and in cooperation with the Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde (BfG), is the continuous, quality-assured acquisition and modelling of geo-base data of the water exchange zones and shallow water areas of federal waterways to improve the quality of - in particular small-scale - digital terrain models of the watercourse. In contrast to the classic geodetic observation methods for recording bathymetry and topography, the use of unmanned sensor platforms - primarily on land (unmanned aerial vehicle UAV), but also on the water (unmanned surface vessel USV) - has come into focus in recent years. As part of the WaMUT project, these measurement systems are to be validated and, based on this, a quality-assured, integrated measurement programme is to be created in order to be able to record reliable geobase data in the water exchange zones.Led by: Ingo Neumann, Hamza AlkhatibTeam:Year: 2020Duration: 09/2020 - 08/2024
