Vertical: Air Quality
Enhancing environmental control and reducing emissions in Nordic Smart Cities
In the last years, it has become mandatory through several international regulations to reduce emissions that could impact in the environment and also inhabitants lives. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)has led this project based on wireless sensor networks with Libelium Waspmote Sensor Platform. The Smart City plan has been deployed in two Nordic municipalities as test beds: Trondheim (Norway) and Vejle (Denmark).
Smart marina: monitoring mooring berths by controlling sea level and weather conditions in a touristic port in Greece
<p>One of the major problems for captains of vessels, especially during summer, is the <strong>absence of marina's reservation mechanisms</strong>. The start-up SaMMY, rises up from this need detected in Greek ports and wants to modernize the operation of marinas with the installation of a sensor network with Libelium technology to monitor mooring berths and conditions of the sea and the environment. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/smart-marina-monitoring-mooring-berths-by-controlling-sea-and-weather-conditions-in-a-touristic-port-in-greece/">Read more</a>.</p>
Traffic and Road Conditions Monitoring in Malaga
<p>Project developed in Málaga by a research group from Málaga University. The main aim is to save time in matter of traffic management in Smart Cities by means of a wireless sensor network based on Libelium Waspmote Sensor Platform. This project provides real-time data that can be shown in the SCADA interface <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/traffic-and-road-conditions-monitoring-in-malaga/">Read more</a>.</p>
Monitoring the largest Gold mine in Thailand
<p>Akara Resources is the leading gold producer in Thailand owning the largest and most important gold mine in the country: Chatree. The mine´s air quality will be monitored by <strong> Libelium’s Waspmote Plug & Sense! Sensor Platform </strong> in real-time and stored using EnviroSuite’s Air Quality Module. The archived data can be accessed for use in compliance reporting and back tracking for accountability. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/monitoring-the-largest-gold-mine-in-thailand/">Read more</a>.</p>
Smart City project in Santander to monitor Environmental Parameters
SMART SANTANDER project, which has been developed by several companies and institutions including Telefonica I+D and University of Cantabria, aims at designing, deploying and validating in Santander and its environment a platform composed of sensors, actuators, cameras and screens to offer useful information to citizens. 750 Waspmotes have been deployed to monitor different parameters such as noise, temperature, luminosity and CO.
Smart Parking and environmental monitoring in one of the world’s largest WSN
SmartSantander is an ambitious project leaded by Telefonica that proposes a unique in the world city-scale experimental research facility sufficiently large, open, flexible and horizontal to stimulate the development of new applications by researchers, companies and citizens. At the same time, the network must provide services to Santander inhabitants such as helping them to find free parking spots and monitoring pollution levels. In this case, Waspmote modularity and flexibility has allowed to incorporate a second communication radio enabling experimentation while ensuring high availability services.
e-Health project in Malaysia to monitor Medical Drug Preservation with Waspmote
ARES system has been developed by DeltaZ, a Malaysian company focused on medical products, which has been deployed in several cities in Malaysia. The system is able to monitor several parameters (Oxygen, CO2, Vibration or Temperature among others) in different environments such as medical refrigerators, ultra low temperature freezers or LN2 tanks among others. More than 50 Waspmotes have been deployed in several hospitals in order to control and preserve medical drugs and vaccines.
Smart City project in Serbia for environmental monitoring by Public Transportation
The EkoBus system was developed in collaboration with Ericsson and deployed in the cities of Belgrade and Pancevo. Several Waspmotes were installed on public transportation vehicles to monitor a set of environmental parameters over a large area as well as to provide additional information for the end-user like the location of the buses and estimated arrival times to bus stops. The GPS and 3G/GPRS modules allowed the Waspmotes to work as autonomous sensor collectors.
Smart City project in Salamanca to monitor Air Quality and Urban Traffic
This project has been developed by several companies and leaded by “Fundación CARTIF”. Its main goal was to achieve sustainable management of the traffic in the city of Salamanca by using two key-elements: a pervasive air-quality sensor network along with prediction models. The project required the measurement of 7 parameters: CO, NO2, O3, temperature, humidity, dust particles (PM-10) and noise. The flexibility of Waspmote allowed to integrate all of them in the same sensor node, making the most of each point of the the network deployed.
