How can Artificial Intelligence make a difference in your daily life?
The main driver to take advantage of AI in business processes is to optimize a certain activity. But did you realise the implementation of these new technologies affects your life more than you can imagine?

Did you know, in the mobility sector, different kinds of obstacles are prevented and optimized by using AI? Think about that every time you get stuck in a traffic jam. In Sweden, for example, every year, approximately 80000 kms of roads are analysed to detect road accidents, failures in road infrastructure or traffic flows.
Ever suffered from a sports injury? These can be prevented with the use of wearable and video technology. Data are collected during training, enabling coaches and doctors to identify the risk of developing injuries.
Surveillance cameras are increasingly often equipped with machine learning technology. This gives cameras the opportunity to analyse live video without any human intervention. That way, AI can not only be used for safety reasons, but also for the protection of materials and systems. For example: detecting birds on floating solar panels. Their droppings can cause a loss up to a 30% in solar production.
There is still some reluctance when it comes to the usage of robots on the work floor. This is why companies who provide automation services are now focusing on systems to support employees, instead of replacing them by robots. As such they use supportive systems which can be placed on the body. These systems support people who carry heavy loads as to protect their back.

However, it remains a predominantly male sector. We want to change that with Project Olivia, by inspiring women to choose a job on, by or around the water. A goal that we share with many other countries and one which we are eager to cooperate on internationally.

New wave flume at Hydraulic Laboratory opens doors for innovative coastal safety and climate impact research
The Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory (WL) of the Department of Mobility and Public Works (MOW) unveiled its new, larger, and modern wave flume. This research facility is designed to simulate complex wave and water movements in a controlled environment. The festive inauguration took place at the WL headquarters on Berchemlei in Antwerp. The new wave flume was built with the support of the Program for Innovative Public Procurement (PIO) and the Flemish Agency for Maritime Services and Coast (MDK).
