MaLiTuP - Machine Learning in Theory and Practice

Increasing digitalization, rapid developments of machine learning and artificial intelligence as well as exponentially growing accumulation of data and automisation lead to new jobs in the areas of IT, data science and research. Likewise in the field of (maritime) logistics, digitalization is becoming increasingly important, resulting in an ever-increasing demand for trained personnel in the field of machine learning. One facilitator of maritime digitalization was the introduction of the Automated Identification System, which opened up a number of possibilities using machine learning in the maritime sector. The aim of MaLiTuP is to provide master‘s students of Logistics with an additional permanent academic offer in the field of machine learning.

TINA - Techniques for Interactive Nautical AIS data analyses

With the introduction of the Automatic Identification System (AIS), efficiency and safety of the maritime transport could be increased by the automated exchange of position, speed, course and other data. Hence, in the past years a treasury of data of unexcpeted dimensions and possibilities has been accumulated. The objective of TINA is to identify potential interactive applications of the data registered in the course of the digitalization of shipping.

MII - Maritime Innovation Insights

The first lecture event MII of the Fraunhofer CML presented the latest research results. The determining topics were: Digitisation in seaports, decision optimisation using mathematical methods and nautical assistance systems. On 3 May 2018, more than 70 participants also had the opportunity to exchange views with the researchers and other speakers. The consistently positive response has laid the foundation for the MII to take place again on 9 May 2019.
