Ada-Lovelace Center
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long left behind its character as a solely theoretic discipline and permeates more and more our daily life. It enables digital assistants, cooperating robots as well as as vastly autonomous vehicles and production facilities. The ADA Lovelace Center for Analytics, Data and Applications has been founded by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). It is a partner for the national and international industry whose aim it is to help them benefit from these developments and to make them economically usable.

Energy-Efficient Timetable Optimization in the Nuremberg Underground SystemIn this project, we work together with VAG Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft in order to reduce the energy consumption of the Nuremberg underground system. Via slight adaptions of the underground timetable, we enable the choice of energy-efficient velocity profiles of the trains and increase the utilization of recuperated braking energy. Participants: Andreas Bärmann, Patrick Gemander, Lukas Hager |

Optimized Production Planning in the Tea IndustryWe work together with a leading German tea producer in order to optimize the selection of raw materials in the production process. We develop mathematical methods to solve this challenging mixture optimization problem. Participants: Andreas Bärmann, Oskar Schneider |
