  • Risk Minimization in Structural Safty Monitoring
    One main goal of structural safety monitoring is minimizing the risk of un-expected collapses of artificial objects and geologic hazards. Behind these activities in the DFG founded project, it is the need of the society in mini-mizing the negative environmental impacts. An optimal configuration for measurement setups and all other decisions shall therefore review and ra-te the risks of an individual monitoring project. Nowadays, the methodolo-gy in many engineering disciplines and mathematically founded decisions are usually based on probabilities and significance levels but not on the risk (consequences or costs) itself.

  • Simulation-based optimization of tachymetric network measurements
    In geodetic networks of large extent or with a large number of points, the tachymetric network measurement is usually associated with a high logistical effort. The individual measuring points must be visited again and again in order to align the reflectors to the current tachymeter position. The efficient planning of the measurement has the goal of causing the lowest possible costs or it aims at the shortest possible measuring duration.

  • Efficiency optimization of geodetic measurement processes
    The efficiency optimization of measurement and evaluation processes of engineering geodesy requires a detailed modeling of the individual sub-steps. This modeling is realized by means of Petri nets. Thus computer-aided simulations can be carried out. To minimize the cost or duration of the measurement processes Genetic algorithms are used as an optimization method.

  • Innovative approaches to services of general interest in rural areas - learning from the experiences of other European countries for Germany (InDaLE)
    In structurally weak and sparsely populated rural regions in particular, the consequences of demographic change and financially weak municipalities are jeopardising the existence of certain services of general interest. This is making it increasingly difficult to maintain services of general interest in the long term. Other European countries are in a similar situation, in some cases with a much lower population density. This is where the project comes in, in order to examine the extent to which there are established, innovative examples of projects for the provision of services of general interest in these countries, which can offer additional insights and solutions for Germany.
