Infrastructure

More and more people prefer using means of transport to owning them. Multimodal mobility services link the offerings of public transport, pedestrian and cycle traffic, car sharing, taxis and other new mobility offerings. The objective is to provide seamless multimodal mobility services from A to B which are available to users. The Confederation is creating…

Automated and networked mobility can contribute to more efficient use of infrastructure and improved transport safety. For automated and networked vehicles to operate, basic conditions must be established which enable the opportunities to be exploited and which at the same time minimise the associated risks.

The following activities are included:…

Support for digitalisation of radio broadcasting through implementation of the radio industry's DigiMig agreement.

Within the framework of Energy Strategy 2050 and the electricity legislation (Electricity Supply Act, Electricity Supply Ordinance) the first framework conditions were stipulated for the digitalisation of the industry and the development of intelligent electricity networks (smart grids). In particular the following areas are regulated: the introduction…

As part of the revision of the Electricity Supply Act, the basic conditions for the electricity market are being improved once again. In this context, increasing digitalisation in the electricity sector is being implicitly promoted, in particular by means of provisions for cost-efficient, high-quality data and information exchange and an optimised set…

A state-recognised electronic system for proof of identification (E-ID) enables Swiss residents to prove their identity online by digital means. This allows administrative and business processes to be carried out without media discontinuity, which saves time and money.

The state issues the e-ID and arranges the operation of the required trust…

Targeted research and training assets. Investment in know-how as a contribution to the development of the Swiss mobility system. Main contents of the initiative: broadening of research skills (creation of approximately 2 to 4 new Chairs of approximately 10 to 20 researchers each), creation of a "mobility centre" (platform to promote cooperation between…

The combination of conventional automation technology and rapidly developing digital technology is expected to enable the establishment of a (partially) automated wagonload freight network. In addition to the primary goal of substantial improvements in efficiency, the transparency of the logistics chain will also be increased, transport times will…

An important success factor for the spread of electric cars and for increasing efficiency in transport is the availability of public charging stations. On behalf of the Federal Council, the Federal Administration is therefore assuming a coordinating role. The SFOE has set up a non-discriminatory national data infrastructure for electromobility (DIEMO),…

The measure is intended to promote simple, obstacle-free communication between building technology components and the electricity grid.

The primary objective is to support intelligent grid use as a prerequisite for grid stability in an increasingly complex electricity grid.

This is to be achieved by defining requirements for communication…

The programme and the guarantee credit required for implementation will be submitted…

The Swiss federal government has managed URLs with the .swiss ending since 2016. In addition to the .ch country code top-level domain, the .swiss ending offers another possibility to create a web presence, such as a website or email address, with a clear connection to Switzerland. This maintains a higher level of security.

The 2023 revision…

The Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) and the ETH Domain are currently launching a large initiative to support the Digital Switzerland strategy in the health sector. The National Data Streams is a joint programme of the Personalised Health and Related Technologies…

The Swiss financial center will continue to drive forward the harmonization and digitization of payment traffic in the coming years. The existing schemes, processes, formats and receipts will be continuously simplified and standardized or replaced and new ones will be introduced. The aim is to make seamless payment processes even simpler and faster…

With the BIM (Building Information Modelling) method, a standard is establishing itself that improves processes in the construction industry. This measure explains the success models, standards and requirements for the reusability of information in the construction industry from the perspective of public building owners. Different use cases in the…

The Confederation is currently implementing a data science strategy which, among other things, envisages making greater use of methods from the field of artificial intelligence for policy-making in the federal administration. Researchers from ETH Zurich and EPFL are actively involved in implementing the follow-up mandates decided by the Federal Council.…

The Federal Office of Justice (FOJ) provides legislative bodies with auxiliary and working tools. These are available on the FOJ website.

A national geodata infrastructure for transport and mobility is being set up as part of Switzerland's future mobility data infrastructure (MODI).

The measure will make the following improvements: Networking and exchange of spatial data on mobility and transport infrastructure. It primarily aims to create a ‘translation aid’ between different…

The Swiss population should have nationwide access to very fast internet. That is the goal being pursued by the Federal Council through its gigabit strategy. In terms of implementation, it is proposing a funding programme to support the expansion of the broadband network beyond urban centres. The programme requires a new legal basis so the Federal…

The SwissChips initiative is supported by ETH Zurich, EPFL and CSEM, where chip design is an integral part of ongoing research activities and where an extensive infrastructure for chip design support already exists. The three institutions will jointly invest in the SwissChips initiative by using and combining their existing chip design and support…
