Contribution of IHSE

  • As experts for mission critical data transmission, IHSE is leading the smart city control center workstream for the project
  • The task is to develop a concept for a control center that will be implemented and evaluated within the framework of the innovation laboratory

  • In addition, special equipment is being developed for this purpose in accordance with the so-called KRITIS criteria for critical infrastructure

"[…] The smart city control center will demonstrate the potential for autonomous driving in real traffic and how control centers can be secured against cyberattacks. […] The findings from the ALFRIED project will help us to develop solutions for smart city control centers that are specifically tailored to the requirements of future heterogeneous traffic."

Dr. Enno Littmann – CEO of IHSE
