We own state of the art laboratories with Pin-on-disk equipment, multi-station friction and wear test machine, rubber wheel, erosion-corrosion...
...twin combines real-time and static data within an aerodrome, serving as a platform for decision making by air traffic controllers and other stakeholders. Aerodromes are large and complex systems involving many sources of data, many stakeholders with differing requirements, and a constant need for seamless...
...learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have revolutionised many sectors in our society and everyday tasks. However, many machine learning and other AI methods are not easily interpretable. In Explainable AI, we focus on designing and developing ways to increase the transparency and obtain more...
...authorities, public bodies, commercial companies and personnel such as drivers. To be able to connect stakeholders with different business models and different systems and solutions a kind of harmonisation mechanism is needed. The use of interoperability frameworks and ontologies is one approach. Each of the...

In our projects we are using unique infrastructure to investigate biomass gasification, fuel synthesis and heat and power production together with both national and international...
We study and improve the human contribution in safe and reliable production systems, products and services. Key areas are human reliability, organisational factors and man-machine interaction. It is generally accepted that the human factor is vital for safety and reliability. Research has also shown...
...in critical and dynamic environments where reliability is essential. However, AI models are often vulnerable to uncertainties, adversarial inputs, and data shifts, which can compromise their performance and trustworthiness. Robust AI focuses on ensuring that AI systems remain reliable and effective under...
Enabling data-driven application workflows. Nowadays, the increasing pervasiveness of data and computing results in the proliferation of edge applications for timely and effective processing of data and advanced analytics. However, as the available data grows, new solutions are needed to ensure a fluid...
Energy efficiency and increased heating comfort has resulted in modern buildings being more airtight than previous building constructions. Airtight buildings have reduced uncontrolled ventilation, without this being sufficiently compensated through controlled ventilation. A solution is installing ventilation...

SINTEF is, based on this accreditation, also appointed as Notified Body (NoBo) for subsystems control-command and signalling (trackside and onboard) according...
Our group at SINTEF develop and manufacture silicon radiation sensors adapted to custom specifications and requirements. Through our in-house design and world class cleanroom facilities, we offer flexibility on every level, from initial design and prototyping to final sensor production. Our silicon radiation...
... accuracy, safety of maritime operations, and at the same time support a sustainable utilization of renewable natural resources. Solutions are developed in close collaborates with the maritime industry and authorities in order to provide decision support and situational awareness for users at sea. By...
...transport system, the means of transport and the regulations must be developed and adapted to minimise human error. We work within the following field: We use our in-depth knowledge of road user behaviour to develop and evaluate infrastructure solutions that minimize risks and risk behaviour. Typical projects...
