SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

MATISSE is a European HORIZON-KDT-JU research project bringing together over 30 partners from 7 countries in order to develop an advanced approach for efficient engineering and validation of industrial systems using Digital Twins (DTs). By integrating DTs with state-of-the-art technologies, MATISSE aims to better simulate, test, and predict system behaviours.

"Intelligent" video surveillance, crime prediction systems and other AI-based tools are more and more being used by police forces. The IAAP project, led by a team at IMT Atlantique, is examining the effectiveness of these systems and the changes they are bringing about.

Recognizing that current storage solutions are unable to stabilize enough the intermintent renewable energy production, new long term energy storage solutions are becoming mandatory. Current long-term energy storage is mainly provided by Pumped-Storage Hydroelectricity (PSH).

The CyberSecDome project offers a proactive solution to protect digital infrastructures against cyber threats. It comprises four key elements: a digital infrastructure, digital twins, AI-powered security tools and a VR user interface.

The HyMES project explores hybrid modeling solutions to address the growing complexity of multi-energy systems and networks. By combining physical and data-based models, the project aims to improve the representation of energy dynamics and address the challenges of uncertainties and non-linearities in system models.

How can we monitor underground water tables? How can they be protected from various sources of pollution? What warning systems should be put in place? These questions are the subject of a major European research project: NINFA.

The MODELIS research team at IMT Atlantique's Automation, Production Engineering and Computer Science department (LS2N) is working to optimize the operation of complex systems, such as goods flows, transport networks and production chains.

The HOPES project funded by the ANR 2021 with 270 KE is led by a young researcher RESTREPO RUIZ Maria-Isabel on the planning of work schedules and employee rounds over a multi-period horizon for home-based services.

"Intelligent" video surveillance, facial recognition, predictive mapping, etc. are all devices that renew police action. They are supposed to build “safe cities” / “safe cities” thanks to the contributions of artificial intelligence (AI). Three main questions articulate the research:
