AdMIRE 2: Advanced Mobile Intelligence and Reactive Environments

2008, 4th Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics

AdMIRE, Advanced Mobile Intelligence and Reactive Environments, presents a revolutionary vision in which the “intelligence” is placed on the mobile device. “Mobile” as “personal”, always available in the hands of the user, able to hold all his/her knowledge. The environment is perceived as “reactive”: equipped with ICT sensors and controls it “reacts” to user requests, […]

RBOF: The retail bank in the future: emerging business models and new customer relationship management strategies

2008, 4th Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics

Significant changes are affecting the retail banking industry in the last few years. The risk of disintermediation coming from the rise of new models such as Financial Social Networks or direct banking players, changes in the regulatory framework about payments (i.e. SEPA) and the deployment of new Information and Communication Technologies are generating a profound

IPROS: An integrated prognostics and logistic support system for the engines of an aircraft fleet

2008, 4th Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics

The IPROS project addresses an issue of growing importance: that of maximizing up time equipment while minimizing maintenance and operating costs. The area of intelligent maintenance and prognostic-enabled condition-based maintenance of machinery is a vital one for today’s complex systems in industry, aerospace vehicles, ships, automotive industry, and elsewhere. As manning levels are reduced and

DigiLife: Network Enabled Business Fabric

2009, 5th Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics

The project identified an innovative solution aimed at satisfying the increasing demand for remote work services. The solution was based on an analysis of the academic literature in order to understand the evolution of different models in different periods. Instead of focusing on the (in some sense) trivial “work at home” paradigm, the project considered

Digital Logistics: Transforming regional-scaled freight logistics with digital integration

2009, 5th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

The field of information and communication technology (ICT) is continually changing as new technologies are developed. A number of current technologies (e.g. wireless communication technologies) are relevant to mobility applications. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) encompass a broad range of communication-based information and electronic technologies integrated in transportation system infrastructures and in vehicles themselves. Integration of

Smart Environments: Indoor and Outdoor Monitoring application using Wireless Sensor Networks

2010, 6th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

The reduction of environmental CO2 emissions is one of the major challenges for growth sustainability of the present century. Road transportation and building heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems constitute the two most relevant sources of carbon dioxide in consumer related activities. In order to reduce these emissions, it is possible to leverage on

PCV: Personal Commuting Vehicles

2010, 6th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

With a seating capacity of two and a small footprint, a Personal Commuting Vehicle perfectly fully reflects the requirements in personal mobility of most commuters – because most trips are taken alone (In European cities, the average commute occupancy rate is 1.1-1.2 persons per vehicle). Moreover PCV should be as safe, stable, and energy efficient

CitySpaces: A virtual/real platform for exploring, learning about and interacting with the layered histories of city spaces

2010, 6th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

The CitySpaces project has the objective of conceiving a multichannel digital media approach for exploring, learning about and interacting with the layered histories of city spaces. A CitySpaces is a virtual-real system for exploring cities overlaid with their rich geo-history, including the diverse histories of people, architecture and the urban environment, as well as the
