Fraunhofer IIS, Division Engineering of Adaptive Systems conducted research on how railway infrastructure can be monitored using smart MEMS sensors in the project DIMS (Smart Railway Infrastructure Monitoring System).

The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is a world leader in research on microelectronic and IT system solutions and services. Scientists at the institute’s division in Dresden are working on key technologies for cutting-edge adaptive systems that can independently detect, analyze and evaluate changes in their environment or in their internal structure. To this end, the researchers are developing innovative algorithms and powerful sensor components. The division also focuses on designing safe, robust and reliable electronic systems based on state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies. Other key areas include the automatic analysis of large data volumes and the development of technologies for connected automation in production processes. Fraunhofer IIS in Dresden also has a particular interest in the topics of artificial intelligence, IoT, trusted electronics and quantum communication with a view to developing adaptive and robust technological solutions that are tailored to the current needs and future challenges of the economy, especially for applications in mobility and industrial automation.
