  • S.A.F.E.: SUSTAINABLE DESIGN OF FURNITURE SYSTEMS WITH LIFE-SAVING FUNCTION DURING SEISMIC EVENTS


    The goal of the S.A.F.E. industrial research project is to create innovative furnishing systems for schools and offices, capable of transforming into intelligent passive and life-saving protection systems for people during an earthquake and in the event of a consequent collapse of a building. The challenge for scientific, technological and industrial research is to innovate and transform, from a structural perspective, the design of furniture and mobile equipment, used in schools and offices, into intelligent passive safety systems, which can contribute to the protection of life and, through the development and integration of sensors and a management ICT platform, to locate and find people in the event of a collapse during an earthquake, also improving their performance in terms of safety, environmental sustainability and health.

  • INCIPICT: Innovating City Planning through Information & Communications Technologies


    The main objective of the INCIPICT Project is the construction of an experimental optical network to build a MAN – Metropolitan Area Network – that consists in an Optical Ring to connect the main and the most important sites of L’Aquila City. INCIPICT represents the context for testing advanced and pervasive wireless technologies, necessary to prepare the support layer for innovative applications and provides research on techniques solutions for reduction of energy consumption and increase of transmission speed (and bandwidth). INCIPICT also aims at developing a specific middleware that allows abstracting the components of the heterogeneous network and offering uniform access methods as independent as possible from the specific underlying technology.

  • AQUAS: Aggregated QUality Assurance for Systems


    The AQUAS project investigates the challenges arising from the inter-dependence of safety, security and performance of systems and aims at efficient solutions for the entire product life-cycle within three essential capabilities of the ECSEL JU MASRIA 2016: Design Technologies (DT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and European Asset Protection (EAP). The project builds on knowledge of partners gained in current or former EU projects and will demonstrate the newly conceived approaches across six use cases spanning Space, Medicine, Transport and Industrial Control.
