About
Our project, "Dataskop," aims to make data visible in its real environment. Previous research results and products in such scenarios have focused on data collection or abstract representation, detached from the physical environment. We want to explore scientific uncharted territory in this area and develop mobile, situationally embedded data visualization methods to integrate the physical environment with abstract data representation. To achieve this, research gaps need to be addressed in data collection and IT security, and economic models need to be developed to cover the economic aspects. Only through this holistic and interdisciplinary approach can basic technologies for the vision of a Sensor-Based Data Economy in Lower Austria be realized, leading to Smart Rural Areas and a connected future for rural areas. Our focus is on the use in outdoor environments, away from well-established digital infrastructures. Fragmented individual projects cannot meet this holistic demand and can only address partial aspects.
Goals:
- Ensuring efficient communication within the project team
- Ensuring project progress
- Contract management
- Quality assurance of the results
- Identification and handling of potential risks during the project's course
Goals:
- Identification and specification of use cases in the fields of disaster management, public services, and infrastructure, as well as tourism.
- Identification of research gaps and cooperation potential in the region, in Europe, and internationally, primarily by leveraging Lower Austria's membership in the EU Vanguard Group and within the framework of the DIHELP program.
- Accelerating innovation in the region by showcasing trends, best practices, and next-practice examples, as well as by networking with expert communities and ecosystems at the regional and international levels.
Goals:
- Development of proof-of-concept prototypes of system modules for low-cost LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) that can be used for easy deployment of outdoor sensor networks (flexible, open source, hardware-independent) based on D2.1.
- Creation of testbeds for end-to-end communication from sensor to application based on the following state-of-the-art protocols: LoRa, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NBIoT, MQTT, AMQP, HTTPS converters for fieldbuses (industrial, automotive, and agricultural sectors).
- Closing security vulnerabilities from D4.1.
- Dissemination of the insights and methods developed in the project to relevant stakeholders and the scientific community.
Goals:
- Testbed LPWAN-Security: Simulation of currently known attacks, including analysis of their actual applicability.
- Development of defense methods to protect against beaconing attacks, downlink routing vulnerability, and join-accept replay vulnerability.
- Dissemination of the insights and methods developed in the project to relevant stakeholders and the scientific community.
Goals:
- Design, evaluation, and prototypical implementation of visualization methods that make sensor data visible in the physical environment on mobile devices (Augmented Reality).
- Dissemination of the insights and methods developed in the project to relevant stakeholders and the scientific community.
