City Sense CITI-SENSE will develop “citizens’ observatories” to empower citizens to contribute to and participate in environmental governance, to enable them to support and influence community and societal priorities and associated decision making. http://www.citi-sense.eu/
LOG-a-TEC (Smartphone) covers a set of diverse testbeds used for research purposes. The testbeds are mostly based on the VESNA hardware platform - developed by SensorLab. The testbeds currently consist of 70-80 sensor nodes installed outdoors, mostly on light poles and rooftops in different regions of Slovenia. http://www.log-a-tec.eu/aqa.html
UN Global Pulse: Global Pulse is an innovation initiative of the UN Secretary-General, harnessing today's new world of digital data and real-time analytics to gain a better understanding of changes in human well-being. Global Pulse hopes to contribute a future in which access to better information sooner makes it possible to keep international development on track, protect the world's most vulnerable populations, and strengthen resilience to global shocks."
NoiseTube: "Turn your mobile phone into an environmental sensor and participate to the monitoring of noise pollution Noise pollution is a serious problem in many cities. NoiseTube is a research project, started in 2008 at the Sony Computer Science Lab in Paris and currently hosted by the BrusSense Team at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, which proposes a participative approach for monitoring noise pollution by involving the general public. Our ambitious goal is to extend the current usage of mobile phones by turning them into noise sensors enabling citizens to measure their own exposure in their everyday environment.
Air Quality Egg: "A project aiming to give citizens a way to participate in the conversation about air quality. It is composed of a sensing device that measures the air quality in the immediate environment and an on-line community that is sharing this information in real-time.It is a community-developed, open source project that is driven by people who care about the air they breathe.
Air Quality Balloons: "This Instructable will show you how to make giant, super cool, glowing balloons that react to surrounding air quality. Inside each balloon is a tri-colored LED. This LED reacts to data from an air quality sensor, turning green, yellow or red based on low, average, and high values.
The Copenhagen Wheel: "Smart, responsive and elegant, the Copenhagen Wheel is a new emblemfor urban mobility. It transforms ordinary bicycles quickly into hybrid e-bikes that alsofunction as mobile sensing units. The Copenhagen Wheel allows you to capturethe energy dissipated while cycling and braking and save it for when you need a bit of a boost. It also maps pollution levels, traffic congestion,and road conditions in real-time."
DontFlushMe "The idea behind this project is to allow NYC residents to help reduce the amount of pollution in the harbor. Some 27 billion gallons of raw sewage is dumped into the harbor every year. This comes from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) that open when the sewer system is overloaded. The idea is to enable residents to understand when the overflows happen and reduce their wastewater production before and during an overflow event."
SafeCast: "Safecast is a global sensor network for collecting and sharing radiation measurements to empower people with data about their environments."
