Cloud and Edge Technologies

We all use the cloud, and the cloud also offers many opportunities for research and education. From distributed computing and storage to enabling AI at the Edge, we investigate new cloud technologies, trends, architectures and solutions.

Safer cities with smart bikes, edge computing and public clouds

Small edge devices attached to bikes help improve the safety and wellbeing in cities through analysing the surroundings in an autonomous way. Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) runs a Maintenance Lab where several research and development projects in the field of smart industry and smart cities take place. One of them is a Smart Bikes project done in collaboration with Velotech Solutions. SURF has joined the project to lead the design and implementation of the digital infrastructure needed to operate a fleet of bikes in a city remotely, making use of public cloud services.
