Increasingly, cosmic ray probes are being used to monitor soil moisture and estimate the amount of water available in the form of snow in the mountains. A joint research project with the University of Innsbruck combines the advantages of this technology with those of satellite images. So, how do cosmic ray probes work? What are their advantages? And, what needs to be considered when using them in the mountains?

Technologies to protect against drought are increasing

From monitoring natural hazards and assisting mountain rescues to applications in agriculture and forestry science. Drones are proving to be increasingly valuable allies for researchers, professionals and administrative departments. Drones acquire more detailed data than satellites and can provide measurements that would be demanding if taken manually. In recent years the remotely piloted aircraft have been tested in a range of diverse and challenging situations  with the latest tests being conducted at an altitude of 9,000 m.a.s.l.

Drones for science

Eurac Research and Mountain Rescue South Tyrol tested the use of drones to locate and rescue accident victims in Bletterbach Gorge. The results are in, drones save valuable time and increase safety for rescue services in inaccessible areas.

First aid: drones make a difference

In recent months, research teams from emergency medicine, mountain rescue, drone and electrical engineering have been drawn to the Bletterbach Gorge (South Tyrol) time and again to simulate rescue missions. The interregional research project START, has seen a steady flow of these teams to the gorge, to investigate whether drones can help in the localisation and initial treatment of persons injured in difficult to access terrain.

We are at the peak of the curve: technology allows us to collect unimaginable amounts of data, but perhaps it is time to change course a little. Insight and focus are the new watchwords of Peter Pramstaller and Roberto Monsorno. The first one has seen a small team of geneticists grow into a team with dozens of different profiles ranging from molecular biology to statistics via bioethics, the latter leads a pioneering team of engineers and developers skilled in programming sensors and fulfilling the most unexpected wishes of research groups and companies.

"The biggest challenge is the overabundance of information" 

Low-cost, versatile and energy-efficient sensors would make environmental monitoring in our cities more widespread and extensive. In Greece, a bikesharing company wants to expand its fleet of bicycles with low-cost sensors and use them to measure particulate matter, with benefits for both citizens and municipalities who would be able to benefit from more data on city pollution. However with innovation comes challenges and the Center for Sensing Solutions is working to solve technical aspects associated with this idea by drawing on what has already been tested in South Tyrol.

Monitoring fine dust – by bike

Ogni anno artigiani, professionisti e imprese – in particolare quelli impegnati in cantieri o in interventi in loco – smarriscono una certa quantità di preziosa attrezzatura: strumenti di misura, luci da lavoro, trapani e altri utensili a mano. Le cause vanno dalla distrazione al furto, arrecando in ogni caso un danno economico all’azienda e problemi nell’operatività.

Il prototipo aiuta a evitare smarrimenti e furti della strumentazione

Un brevetto per tracciare l’attrezzatura da lavoro di artigiani e imprese

I ricercatori di Eurac Research hanno ideato un sistema di sensori e un modello informatico per valutare il comfort dell’abbigliamento sportivo e supportare le aziende nella fase di ricerca e sviluppo di questi prodotti altamente performanti. 

La ricerca aiuta le aziende a ottimizzare la qualità dell’abbigliamento sportivo

Guardaroba sportivo hi-tech grazie alla sensoristica 

La rete sfrutta il protocollo di comunicazione wireless LoraWan e permette di scambiare dati su lunghe distanze. Ora è a disposizione di ricercatori e aziende per testare sensori e servizi. 

Una rete ad ampio raggio per il NOI Techpark
