Research

  • Building Process

Optimaltid

Involving the right expertise at the right time is of great importance for public investment. It provides better solutions, lower operating costs and a basis for efficient implementation.

Ferjefri E39

NTNU is proud of the collaboration with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and we are researching to provide the knowledge needed to realize one of the greatest engineering achievements of our time, Ferry-free E39.

SI-FOOtWORK

The SI-FOOtWORK project uses a combination of pressure monitoring in shoe insoles, long-range communication technology (i.e. NB-IoT) and an AI lifting engine. This system will allow for the workers to focus on avoiding or reducing back pain.
