Master’s thesis: Assessing Sensor Data Quality for Informed Decision-Making

The Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF in Darmstadt works together with industry and research at a top national and international level. The institute’s main research activities focus on specific issues in the areas of structural durability, system reliability, smart structures and plastics.

The increasing reliance on sensor data across various industries and applications demands rigorous assessments of data quality to ensure accurate and reliable outcomes during decision making. This research aims to develop a comprehensive framework for quantifying the quality of sensor data and effectively incorporating it into the decision-making processes. The study will explore various data quality metrics, such as accuracy, precision, completeness, etc. as well as their relevance to the outcome of decision-making framework. Additionally, the research will explore methods to integrate data quality metrics into decision-making framework, thus enabling system to make informed decisions.
