ACCESS the future

Networked systems in society

Connected. Intelligent transportation systems, active buildings, and smart power grids. Home-based health care, wireless manufacturing and positioning systems that work anywhere and everywhere.

At the ACCESS Centre, we’re finding ways to facilitate communication between people, systems and machines.
A holistic approach helps us to achieve results with broad applicability.

Through networked systems we’re laying a foundation for a more sustainable society, less stressful life and a more responsible future.

As scientists and citizens we feel a particular need to be better informed, and to learn the larger picture. ACCESS Distinguished Lecture Series brings eminent speakers from prestigious universities to KTH from around the world. As part of ACCESS mission to interface with society many of these lectures extend to broader popular areas of interest, such as the sub-prime crisis, the roles that popularity and novelty play in eliciting attention in the Web or systems for intelligent buildings and environmental monitoring.

Reduce communication, raise industrial quality

By using wireless networks, and at the same time by reducing communications by 90 percent, Swedish process industry can produce a higher quality at a lower cost. This is what the doctoral student Erik Henriksson, who has put a new method to the test, predicts will happen.

"This method ensures that the equipment measures often when the activity is high, and less when there is less activity. With less information there may be more findings and this may improve the quality of the paper," says Erik Henriksson, PhD student at ACCESS.
