An AI system has been developed through a project at Mälardalen University (MDU) that can calculate delays and predict hazards and interruptions in aviation. The system will not only be able to assist air traffic controllers to predict and communicate the disruptions to passengers and operators in the aviation industry, but also prevent the actual disruptions.

Small (hybrid) electric planes just like the conceptualized 19-passenger commuter aircraft are about to change regional air travel in the future. The apparent benefits of the commuter aircraft are their fuel efficiency and the fact that they can be employed on routes that are geographically or economically far-fetched, compared to other means of transportation. Moreover, the global scientific and industrial communities are seeing aircraft electrification as one potential solution to reduce gaseous and noise emissions. Researchers at Mälardalen University, Sweden and at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, work together with Limmat Scientific AG, Switzerland in this research project which aim to re-think flight.

The Swedish METRO project has shown that fires in trains can be greater than previously estimated, but also that the design of trains and the choice of materials is progressing in the right direction. The outcome of the fire can be very different depending on the choice of materials as well as if the doors of the trains are open or not.

The companies that have the most success today are those that create new markets by radically innovating their products and thereby the reason why customers buy and use the product. Professor Roberto Verganti, a former scholar at Harvard Business School, is an expert in the area and has just started work at Mälardalen University in Eskilstuna.

More than 50 percent of Swedish exports consist of products controlled by software systems. A considerable share of the development costs for these systems goes to quality assurance through testing. Sigrid Eldh, who carries out research at the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering and also is researcher at Ericsson, has studied, in her doctoral thesis On Test Design, how testing can be developed and used in a cost-effective manner.

The Dying Swan is sometimes moving smoothly and gently, sometimes in a dramatic and fiery manner, as Tchaikovsky´s majestic music from the ballet Swan Lake is playing. Yet this is no ordinary ballet dancer, but a robot in the form of a swan, created at Mälardalen University and choreographed by professional dancer Åsa Unander-Scharin.
