E2S-CityScan proposes a smart solution based on autonomous IoT devices to be installed on a fleet of urban vehicles (e.g. garbage trucks, bus) to collect data from the urban environment such as air quality and thermal conditions. The goal is to evolve and adapt the current IoT solution to new challenges raised by urban managers, to empower the impact of sustainable actions with relevant data.
The product reference is the proto device built within the MVP phase of the project and FAE Technology team brought a real sample of the IoT sensor to INIT as the benchmark for the custom product development.
E2S-CityScan infrastructure is based on some key distinctive features, first of all the modular and scalable Hardware design with a low-cost sensor unit that allows the project to adapt the data collection to the specific user’ need.
As a second step, the project will take the opportunity to augment and empower an existing infrastructure (e.g. bus fleet) without the need of a dedicated network of vehicles, and the deployment will be fast and easy with a minimum modification to the vehicle and a system that is completely autonomous in terms of communication network – based on LTE communication.
