FLAGSHIP R&DCREATING PRACTICAL AND INNOVATIVE PROJECTS
World Class R&D andDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Today TalTech is working on such future-looking projects as:
• Public administration – designing Estonian e-government
• Biotechnology – food biotechnology and neurobiology research
• Geotechnology – unique competence in oil shale
• ICT – computer system research and bio robotics
• Power electronics – power converter research
• Chemistry – organic and analytic chemistry research
• Earth sciences –enhancement of geological rock collections
• Material sciences – solar cell materials and development of tribomaterials
• Civil engineering – near-zero energy buildings
SMART WORK ATTIRE:RAGNAROK WORKWEAR 2.0
In cooperation with Protex Balti AS, Estonian ICT cluster, ESTRONICS,
Ericsson Estonia, Wazomby Labs and Estrotech, TalTech was a part of
developing Ragnarok Smart Workwear.
These textiles take into account the needs of workers and provide
additional security and convenience to the wearer.
• detects fall
• monitors physical activity and temperature
• GPS positioning
• voice recognition, voice-text functionality and a hands-free system
• sends alerts and notifications about falls, injuries etc.
• saves sensor data and alarms in the cloud, allows to analyze it
Ragnarok workwear is currently used in high-risk work environments
across Nordic countries
Was awarded theTechnological Innovation
Award by Swedish Business Awards 2017
E-PAVEMENT
TalTech in co-operation with the Estonian Road Administration,
is developing solar-electric road-pavement. It will be a part of
the smart city project in Ülemiste City.
e-brick is a road pavement element, that produces
photovoltaic (PV) electricity to feed the Smart Road
infrastructure. e-brick may contain also sensors, lighting,
microelectronic devices and data exchange solutions.
Practical benefits: Trafficers will have a better understanding of
what is going on. For example, when a pedestrian crosses the
road the crossing will lighten up.
Adaptive low light can be used on light traffic roads and
significantly reduce light pollution. Supports road to user
communication.
TOOPPROJECT
• The Once-Only Principle Project (TOOP) was launched by the
European Commission in 2017 The main objective of TOOP is to
explore and demonstrate the once-only principle across
borders, focusing on data from businesses.
• It connects registries and e-Government architectures in 21
countries across Europe. The solutions will be based on already
existing systems in Member States and Associated Countries.
• Businesses will benefit from the solutions as they will be able to
fulfill legal obligations by reduced administrative burden, time- and
cost-savings.
• Administrations will achieve time and cost savings through
administrative efficiency and will be able to offer improved service
quality to businesses.
ISEAUTOPILOT PROJECT WITH SILBERAUTO
The first tour in TalTech campus on Sept. 17th (450 m).
Further development: put together with the 5G system to drive
around in the campus. Researching how the car will behave on
intersections.
• 360 degree lidar gives both horisontal and vertical view.
• Runs on electrical power.
• Maps the area, object detections.
