Intelligent technologies for improving air traffic security

The goal of the project is to develop and test in experimental mode a complex system for intelligent communication between air traffic controllers and automatic (computer-operated) pseudo-pilot. This system, being the results of intensive basic and applied research, is meant to enhance the ATM and ATC software systems developed by CS Soft, a.s. The outcomes of the project will not only bring a profit to CS Soft from increased sales of their top product - they will indirectly affect all the air transport participants, including the passengers themselves. High-quality, objective and sophisticated courses using the simulators employing intelligent communication between (human) air traffic controller and computer pseudo-pilot will increase the professionalism of trained controllers and thus this new technology will undoubtedly contribute to the improved overall air traffic security.

Special Tools to Support Education of Vision-impaired Pupils

The aim of the project SAMOČET CZ.1.07/1.2.31/02.0019 is extension of education of children with special needs (SEN) and increasing skills of SEN coordinators and parents. Project activities are linked to the project ARET CZ.1.07/1.2.00/08.0021 http://aret.zcu.cz The project ARET was a pilot project for automatic reading of teaching material (AČUP) in Mathematics and Physics. The project SAMOČET expands educational opportunities of visually impaired students, plans to create new tools for the automatic reading other specific subjects (German, English, Czech language, Chemistry, Biology, Work-skill teachings) and merges existing and new tools to a general system for teaching childern at the elementary schools. Trained teachers of the project partner school ensure the creation of new AČUPs. The project also aims to increase parents' awareness about new system so that they can encourage children to actively use the system SAMOČET during homework.
Examples of AČUP are available on pages http://ucebnice.zcu.cz

Research and development of an information system for decision making in the area of reliability and service maintenance optimization of steam turbines and selected equipment of power turbine halls

The aim of project is model and method research and development of information system prototype of sophisticated effective control and planning benefit in steam turbine and turbine halls selected equipment service maintenance area. It will be created the complex database, simulation and computational tool for planning and maintenance, logistic and service costs effective needs estimation. This system will be used as the subsidiary help for maintenance cost reduction and high-level reliability and availability obtainment especially for new reconstructed machines, and for other recently established service maintenance by Škoda Power a.s. assurance. New assortment of provided service establishment will be a big benefit for expansion and improving the quality of product scale, which Škoda Power a.s. tenders as inland that abroad in energy turbine halls area.

Research and development of methods and tools supporting safe integration of renewable energy sources to the electric power system of the Czech Republic

The aim of the project is to provide the support for safe integration of renewable energy sources (in the
form of software tools and studies), actually by the year 2020 because of the contract period between CR
and EU. This problem is topical for the period of potential massive photovoltaic sources installation.
Departments submitting this project have been in the last year involved in mentioned process relevantly but
not systematically. It is important to systematically integrate the research and development capacities into
this highly difficult process. The results of this project will be usable by transmission and distribution grid
operators, by energy regulatory office or by members of public administration connected with power system
of CR. These can be also economically significantly evaluated in countries that will be in the process of
integration of RES into the electrical systems under similar conditions as the CR.

Research and development of advanced IT technologies for support of bone marrow donor searching for transplantation

The project aim is to develop a complex system for selecting a suitable donor for bone marrow transplantation with using the advanced search based on available knowledge and proposed methods. It is necessary to analyze the issues related to data sources and genetic diversity for subsequent use in the development of concept for finding matched donors. Then, based on specified functionalities and analysis will be created the algorithms and verified the methods of the concept and upgrade the algorithm of the MAC and evaluation functions relating to the patient diagnosis. This step will be followed by a prototype of the target software and finally will be implemented the applications for individual users, including verification and operation testing. During the entire project will be upgraded and expanded support systems and due to the future commercial application will be created the Testing Center.
