EXAMPLE – FLOOD MONITORING
What is the water level in the river?
When does the river swell up?
Where is the location of water rise?
Who need emergency evacuation?
How to control the water level?
How fast is the water rising?
Why is the water rising?
Who Benefits? - Citizens / Emergency Centers / Environmental

22. Smart City Agenda
For city leaders wanting to pursue a smart city agenda, citizen
inclusion is critical

23. Building Trust
Citizens encounter good customer
service across government
channels

24. VISION OF THE CITY OF THE FUTURE
Open source and
open data
Make
visible the
invisible
Sensing the
city
Provide tools for
the citizens to
interpret and
change the
workings of the
city
Technology may help mitigate the “black hole” problem.
The goal is to make decisions in real time as events or emergencies occur,
mitigating their impact on the daily lives of city’s residents while making sure the
city’s budget is used as effectively and efficiently as possible.

25. “We are now at the point of moving
from purchasing a product to
subscribing to a service”

27. CROWDSENSING
GETTING INSIGHTS FROM
CITIZENS AS THE “SENSORS”

28. SMARTPHONE AS “SENSING ASSISTANT”
Sensors:
Camera – “Eyes”
Audio – “Ears”
Accelerometer –
“Speed”
GPS – “Location”
Gyroscope –
“Movement”
Compass –
“Direction”
Proximity –
“Closeness”
Ambient light –
“Eyes”
Others…

29. NOISETUBE – CROWDSOURCING OF POLLUTION DATA
USING SMARTPHONES. WHAT MOTIVATES?
• Citizens and Communities concerned with noise
• Measure your daily sound exposure in dB(A) with
your mobile phone
• Tag noisy sources to inform the community about
them
• Visualize and contribute your measurements on a
• Compare your experience
• Local governments / city planners
• Improve decision-making by understanding local
and global noise pollution in your city using maps
and statistics
• Get immediate feedback and opinions to and
from citizens
• Researchers
• Get access to and analyze (anonymized)
collective noise data
• Find out what is important in soundscape
perception
• Developers
• Use the environmental sensor web API to do your
own web mash-ups

30. 1. Combining it with magnetic data from other sources, we hope to create near-
real-time models of Earth's time changing magnetic field to aid navigation.
2. Mapping static magnetic noise sources (for e.g. power transformer and iron
pipes) could potentially improve accuracy of the magnetic navigation systems.
