Charging infrastructure
InStraNet | Innovation in the street lighting network
Interoperable modular and network connection unit for energy-efficient, smart cities: Street lights are the ideal location for electric vehicle charging infrastructure in towns and cities. This potential can be harnessed and expanded through the smart control and management of lighting. By using the street lamp as a ‘communication point’, cost-effective internet access can be provided via the ‘LESS Cloud’. Connected devices within the lighting control system can be regarded as ‘IoT devices’ and managed by different operators.

VITALS
The aim of the project is to develop a mobile EITEKG combination system, the non-invasive monitoring of respiratory activity and heart rate by which can be used for short- or long-term monitoring of the patient’s ventilation status and cardiac activity. This development will provide users with a patient monitoring solution that clearly displays relevant vital parameters – such as lung activity, regionally resolved ventilation visualisation, relative tidal volume, respiratory rate and heart rate – without the need for invasive methods, even in patients in a state of shock.

CODICES
Condition Diagnosis of Earthing Systems
Integrated condition monitoring of distributed earthing systems: The aim is to develop an active electrical measurement method that enables the progression of corrosion – and thus the condition of the earth electrode – to be assessed. Building on this measurement method, a measurement system is to be developed to handle data pre-processing and transmission. To enable the generic use of this new approach, a specialised IoT device (Industry 4.0 component) is being developed and tested as a prototype.

EVALIA
The electric vehicle as a controllable load
The energy transition requires a modern electricity grid: as part of the EVALIA project, Prof. Pretschner is working alongside several research institutions and companies from Germany and Finland to put this into practice. Electric mobility is to be integrated into the energy grid with the help of a smart charging model. There is no need to retrofit electric cars – the innovation lies in the charging points, which handle communication with the electricity grid.

IMPACT
A mobile system for the emergency medical diagnosis and monitoring of pneumothorax
The aim of the IMPACT collaborative project is to develop a mobile diagnostic procedure to reliably detect the severity, location and form of a pneumothorax and to treat it effectively. Reliable pneumothorax diagnoses ensure that therapeutic measures can be tailored to the specific condition of each patient. IMPACT will therefore make a significant contribution to improving the care of emergency patients.
