About Citi-Sense-MOB

Citi-Sense-MOB is partly funded by EMMIA: The European Mobile and Mobility Industries Alliance. The Project duration was 24+3 months, from September 2013 to December 2015. Activities were performed around

Design of services
Citi-Sense-MOB wants to meet the needs of urban stakeholders with a focus on environmental management. The goal is to improve the knowledge about air quality in the city of Oslo by ubiquitous monitoring and to provide products according to the needs of citizens and local authorities so that the results of the project are user-friendly, competitive and relevant to the urban stakeholders. The main part of this task is the interaction with urban stakeholders to understand their needs and motivations.

Adaptation of sensor platform and sensor network to mobile environments
In this task we will employ and adapt to Citi-Sense-MOB needs new sensing technology based on micro- and nano-sensors to monitor air pollutants (NO2, CO, O3, NO, SO2 and PM), green house gases (CO2) and meteorological variables (Temperature, Pressure and Relative Humidity). This brings new challenges as we need to move away from fixed, isolated, and well controlled systems to an open and scalable infrastructure where many sensors are generating big data while moving in the city. We will adapt the sensors to be mounted on vehicles (cars and buses) and on bicycles. To ensure the quality of the data we will calibrate the sensors on NILU laboratories and on the field.

Service acceptance trials
The goal of this WP is to ensure the communication between the sensor platform, GNSS signals and the mobile network. The communication platforms needs to be able to accept incoming GNSS signals and be able to relay both position and sensor information to the server over the mobile network. We will perform the first tests in 2013 using a car and an electrical bicycle. Once we verify that the whole system functions, we will scale it to more cars, buses and bicycles.

Product implementation
This WP focuses on providing the architecture for real time management of the mobile sensor platforms. We will also develop a mobile phone application with useful and user-friendly environmental products and a social media platform to foster communication between the project and the urban stakeholders. The Citi-Sense-MOB Architecture will be based on the GEOSS architecture supporting GMEA and GNSS.

Management, dissemination and exploitation of project information
The main objective of the Citi-Sense-MOB management and dissemination is to ensure that project outcomes are delivered in time, within budget and to the highest possible standards, to raise public awareness, spread the project results and to promote their commercial exploitation.

SINTEF

The SINTEF Group is the fourth largest Contract Research Organization (CRO) in Europe, and the largest independent research organisation in Scandinavia. SINTEF will be a project partner using personnel from two of its institutes to perform the work. SINTEF ICT will contribute with expertise on signal propagation and signal processing, while MARINTEK will contribute with its experience and expertise in the field of applied maritime communications. SINTEF ICT will be the coordinator of SINTEF's activities under this proposal.

Movation

Movation is the leading independent resource center for open innovation in the Nordic. Movation helps start-ups and established companies to expand, extend and excel in their innovation activities. Movation was founded in 2006 by seven Norwegian companies, and was in 2009 transferred into an SME. Through Movation the partners created an arena where experts with different professional backgrounds and expertise exploited their knowledge in new ways to foster innovation.

The seven partners who started Movation are among the leading ICT companies in Norway including Fast Search & Transfer (FAST), Opera Software, and Telenor. Since then partners like Statoil, Sintef, DnB, Nets and Microsoft have joined to foster the innovation through the Movation Ecosystem. The main component is the Innovation Stock Exchange (http://innobors.eu), where ideas meat competent capital and challenging customers. The InnoBors has fostered several use-cases in the Future Internet and IoT, a.o. the first interactive electrical motorbike from ESIS.

Project members of Movation: Erol Cagatay, Seraj Fayyad

UNIK

The University Graduate Center Kjeller (UNIK) is an academic partners in this project. UNIK is a non-profit educational and research foundation owned by the University of Oslo (UiO), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the three major research institutes: the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment (FFI), Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) and Telenor R&D. UNIK is a graduate educational institution for master and doctoral students, primarily from UiO and NTNU. The main focus of UNIK is on applied science.
