Purpose and goal
An integrated solution for an environmental sensing system and application platform for the public sector, and enabling new innovations from third parties based on open data. Achieved: A working testbed for large-scale air quality monitoring in Uppsala City using energy-efficient and low-cost equipment; A generic platform for sensor data collection suitable for public agencies where open standards are used at all levels of the system.
Expected results and effects
Results: Integrated solution for an environmental sensing system; Horizontally designed systems with well-defined interfaces; GreenIoT testbed in Uppsala serving as an experimental platform. Effects: Contribute to making sensor data available for decision makers and for citizens to make green decisions in their daily life; Unleash potential of open data, enable third parties to develop new applications; Enable experimentation with third parties to stimulate innovation.
Planned approach and implementation
The project work is organized into seven WPs revolving around the GreenIoT testbed in Uppsala. We designed the GreenIoT architecture supported by the technologies developed in WP2 (IoT and energy-efficiency), WP3 (IoT and ICN), WP4 (cloud computing for IoT), and WP5 (applications, platforms, and use cases). Since the deployment of the testbed is very challenging, this arrangement turns out to be successful as it helps getting all partners focused on the overall goal.
