Safety & security

In our CEO Update of Q4, 2023 we are exploring the tech megatrend of safety and security. Joining TTTech CEO and co-founder Georg Kopetz as a special guest is Alexander Damisch, Vice President Dependable Networks at TTTech. Alexander is an expert in IoT and industrial cybersecurity and has co-founded a cybersecurity company. He brings decades of deep-dive system knowledge to TTTech to develop truly dependable networks.  

The Austrian-founded high-tech company TTTech is a partner in the project SENAV, short for Smart Space Exploration Navigation TTTech’s Deterministic Networking technology will be a critical part of the small space platform supporting AI-based autonomous robotic applications

The new research project THEIAXR aims to improve human-machine interaction in mobile machinery by enhancing user technology fit and extended reality (XR) technologies and functionalities. The project’s goal is to make the invisible visible and extend the perceivable range of the human operator without impacting their performance. The three-year project is funded with a total of six million euros from the European Commission’s Horizon Europe program.

The research project THEIAXR sets out to transform the way mobile machines interact with their human operators, improving safety, security, and user-friendliness Three use cases will investigate the application of extended reality (XR) technologies in the fields of snow grooming, logistics, and construction

TTTech is one of the project partners in the Horizon Europe project SENAV  – a new space science and exploration technologies project aiming to improve safety and performance of landers, drones, and robot control systems. The project kicked off in Hannover in December 2022. Until 2025, the consortium will develop a range of solutions in smart space exploration navigation.

Car and rail Over-the-Air software updates may soon become safer and more secure thanks to the results of the EU-funded UP2DATE project. The first project milestones were presented to the Industrial Advisory Board in an online conference this summer.

The Autonomous is a global community shaping the future of safe autonomous mobility. Apart from its annual event in Vienna, The Autonomous also organizes Chapter Events dedicated to topics concerning safe automated driving and a global safety reference. The first of these was about "Safety Architectures" and was held as a virtual event, attracting around 180 participants.

The UP2DATE project team held its kick-off event in Bologna earlier this year. UP2DATE is an EU funded project that seeks to provide new software paradigms for safe and secure software updates of mixed-criticality cyber-physical systems (MCCPS) found in the automotive and rail sectors.

After a duration of almost four years, the EU funded project to create a Space Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver (SEPHY) was completed at the end of 2018. A prototype chip was developed and built by the project partners from industry and academia which can now be qualified for space applications, but also for use in other environments where harsh conditions like radiation place special requirements on communication devices.

More than 50 years after the Convention on Road Traffic was concluded, Vienna, Austria was again the epicenter of discussing and enhancing the future of mobility. “The Autonomous”, a global community shaping the future of safe autonomous mobility, gathered the leading players from the autonomous ecosystem with the goal to write the next chapter of automated driving by discussing a global safety reference.
