T1 - Securing of dangerous goods transports by RFID-tags with sensor-functionality and integrated database "GEFAHRGUT" information (SIGRID) N2 - The project SIGRID investigates and assesses possibilities to enhance the safety and security of dangerous goods transports through the use of the latest RFID-technology. This technology can be used to greatly enhance the transparency of the supply chain and aid logistics companies in complying with regulations. In the context of SIGRID, customized RFID-Sensor-Tags have been developed that monitor dangerous goods during transport and help to prevent hazards by allowing timely countermeasures. In the case of a dangerous goods accident, the available information about the type, amount and condition of the dangerous goods can be used to accurately inform the relief forces. Unavailable or inaccurate information represents a significant problem for the relief forces. This often leads to a delay in the rescue operation, because relief forces must be aware of the substances involved to protect themselves effectively against them. SIGRID aims to close this information gap. To verify the practicability of the underlying concepts, a demonstrator will be build and tests of realistic scenarios will be conducted.

This should be demonstrated by means of two examples of actual developments carried out by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). The Identification and diagnosis of concrete components is a major task in the maintenance of critical infrastructure, for instance concrete bridges with heavy traffic volume. A feasibility study investigates the application of RFID sensor systems for this task. The second example reviews the transportation of dangerous goods. Using modern technologies enables promising possibilities to reduce accidents and to avoid non-conformity with transportation regulations. Project results demonstrate an innovative technical solution for monitoring of dangerous goods transports with RFID sensor systems.

Its daily passenger number amounts to over 300.000. Structures built for such a large number of people require a high-level safety standard. The station was built on the inner city site of the historic Lehrter Bahnhof. The conditions for building and start of operation were challenging by several reasons. The typical sandy ground with a high level of groundwater makes the permanent static stability of such a complex structure difficult. Several completed, ongoing, and planned construction activities in the immediate vicinity of the station influence the ground settlement of the whole area. On basis of the structural design an impact prediction was calculated, which expected certain vertical displacements particularly between the single columns of the outer concrete bridges of the building. These columns support the glass roof construction, which only allows a defined limit of displacement. In order to avoid damage, a concept for monitoring and adjusting potentially occurring displacements was developed for installation at the outer bridges of the station.

The robotic swarm is composed of nano Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), based on the Crazyflie 2.0 quadrocopter, and small lightweight Metal Oxide (MOX) gas sensors for measuring the Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC), which is a measure for IAQ. An indoor localization and positioning system is used to estimate the absolute 3D position of the swarm similar to GPS. A test scenario was built up to validate and optimize the swarm for the intended applications. Besides calibration of the IAQ sensors, we performed experiments to investigate the influence of the rotor downwash on the gas measurements at different altitudes and compared them with stationary measurements. Moreover, we did a first evaluation of the gas distribution mapping performance. Based on this novel IAQ monitoring concept, new algorithms in the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO) are planned to be developed exploiting the abilities of an aerial robotic swarm.
