Dr. Narges Ahmidi, Head of Reasoned AI Decisions, explains in this video, how artificial intelligence and machine learning will share medocial technology in the near future. AI is particularly helpful where a lot of data is involved. It can integrate a large amount of data across many different cases: for example doctors observations from patients, information from tools, patients response to treatment, insurance knowing adherence and hospital workflow.

The areas of application range from diagnosis, for example through image analysis, to the treatment of patients and the maintenance of medical equipment in intensive care units.

Fraunhofer IKS developed a framework called ResilientSOA to provide a more flexible way of updating software. It applies the concept of SOA – that is, service-oriented architecture – to safety-critical embedded systems. This video explains how this works using automated guided vehicles, which transport goods in a warehouse and have to observe safety rules, even in a changing environment.

When safety-relevant functions are moved into the cloud, the connection to the cloud becomes critical. How can a cloud-based system handle connection losses gracefully? In this context, gracefully describes that the system will remain as efficient as possible without violating any of its safety goals. Together with industry partners, Fraunhofer IKS examined the impact of connection losses on a cloud-based system by the example of automated valet parking (AVP).

• Fraunhofer IKS (former Fraunhofer ESK) developed a solution to monitor and predict the Quality of Service (QoS) of communications. The system continuously monitors communication between the vehicles, as well as important environmental parameters.

Improved road safety and less traffic congestion: These are the objectives of the joint project "Real-time communication between vehicles via the LTE mobile network enabled by mobile edge computing". Testing was carried out on the German highway A9 in the Munich area.

Fraunhofer IKS (former Fraunhofer ESK) offers model driven methods and tools as well as a tool chain for seamless development and virtual protyping of cooperative driver assistance systems. This includes methods for dependable cooperative ITS architectures.

Within the EU-funded project SafeAdapt (Safe Adaptive Software for Fully Electric Vehicles), a consortium of 9 partners from six European countries is making innovative changes to the E/E architecture. These concepts will reduce the complexity of the system by generic, system-wide fault and adaptation handling.
