A system of traffic flow monitoring based on video processing

Traffic Flow – Corso Castelfidardo

This system monitors traffic in urban context in real time and evaluates the vehicle flows. The video captured by a webcam is processed and the system is able to create dynamically a model of the roads (areas of the video frame where vehicle traffic is located) and calculate the […]

A lamp measures the air quality

CSP has been developed a prototype unit for measuring the indoor air quality (IAQ). All sensors are integrated on a customized board and measurement are sent to a server using WiFi connection. A lamp has been suitably modified to accommodate inside the sensors and electronic boards.

Air pollution isn’t only an outdoor problem. The […]

MeteoIdro: a remote monitoring station using TETRA network

In this project an hydrometric station has been developed using high performance radar water level sensor and low power embedded systems. The entire system is powered by solar energy and uses a Texas Instruments MSP430 micro-controller for all operations.

Level water measurements are requested to sensor in polling mode, stored in a microSD and […]

Air quality monitoring on GTT electric bus

The MASP (Monitoraggio Aree Sensibili e Protette) project was completed on February 28th 2013 and as final step it has been installed a mobile testbed on the electric bus of the company Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT). This project aims at the development of an air quality monitoring system for sensible and protected areas. The MASP […]

EveryAware project – AirProbe – air quality application

AirProbe is the air quality application developed for EveryAware, a project whose aim is to let citizens measure and be aware of air quality around them, through the combined use of a sensor box and this application, installed on an Android phone. The sensor box records the concentration of pollutants in the […]

EveryAware project – Feel The Environment Android app

One of the objectives of the “Every Aware” project is monitoring some environmental variables of the surrounding environment, such as temperature, relative humidity and some air pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC) and ozone (O3).

For this purpose we developed a dedicated “sensor box” based on an Arduino chipset, that, […]

The EveryAware SensorBox: a tool for community-based air quality monitoring

Paper Abstract:

In the EU-FP7-funded EveryAware project a SensorBox is built that will be used in community-based air quality monitoring in Belgium, Italy and the UK. It is conceived as a portable multisensor array or “e-nose” using commercially available electrochemical and metal oxide gas sensors that have shown to react to traffic-related pollution. Further tests […]

Ciardoney remote station

This project in collaboration with Società Meteorologica Italiana is focused on the remotization of the meteo station located on the Ciardoney glacier, in Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso.

MASP – Monitoraggio Aree Sensibili e Protette

The MASP project aims at the development of a monitoring system for sensible and protected areas. The MASP system made of fixed and mobile nodes that cooperates in a distributed environment. Mobile nodes can be installed on the public transport system in order to build a mobile network for the real-time measurement of the air […]

EveryAware

There is now overwhelming evidence that the current organisation of our economies and societies is seriously damaging biological ecosystems and human living conditions in the very short term, with potentially catastrophic effects in the long term. The enforcement of novel policies may be triggered by a grassroot approach, with a key contribution from […]
