La telecamera di rilevamento dei flussi di traffico non memorizza né trasmette alcuna immagine che viene trattenuta nella memoria del dispositivo per il tempo strettamente necessario all’analisi e quindi, subito dopo eliminata.

Questa indagine è parte di una attività di Citizen Science – termine inglese che indica una metodologia di partecipazione attiva dei cittadini alla ricerca – ed è propedeutica sia allo sviluppo di progetti di monitoraggio ambientale urbano sia alla raccolta di suggerimenti da parte dei cittadini per migliorare la ricerca e la conoscenza.

Si ricorda che la compilazione del questionario è assolutamente anonima e richiederà circa 10 minuti.

Once again this year, Livorno will take part in the European Mobility Week, a city-wide initiative taking place from September 16 to 22.

Now in its fourth edition, this much-anticipated environmental campaign is promoted by the European Commission and coordinated in Italy by the Ministry for the Environment, with the aim of raising awareness among citizens about responsible and eco-friendly mobility choices.

The City of Livorno will organize the events in collaboration with several local associations, including FIAB Livorno, WWF’s Pandaciclisti, and the Vivi San Jacopo Association.

A rich calendar of events was presented during the press conference held on Tuesday, September 13, at the City Hall, by Mobility Councillor Giuseppe Vece, together with Alessandro Franchi, President of the Province of Livorno, and representatives from the participating associations, including Luca Di Fonzo (President of FIAB) and Graziella Rossini (Pandaciclisti / CNR-IBIMET).

Throughout the entire week, the Institute of Biometeorology (CNR) will run a low-cost environmental monitoring network, actively engaging citizens to raise their awareness of environmental risks and sustainable practices. Two volunteer technicians from the Institute will travel around the city with the Sensor Web Bike, a bicycle equipped with sensors capable of measuring key air quality indicators such as temperature, humidity, CO₂, and ozone (O₃).

This mobile monitoring system uses the open-source Arduino platform combined with low-cost sensors to collect environmental data, which is transmitted in real time via GPRS and made available online through the SensorWeb HUB / Urban Climate platform.

• the low-cost platform “AIRQino” for air quality monitoring, developed by Ibimet, and already used in several projects on smart-cities
• the Magenta platform for traffic flow.

Magenta and IBIMET are going to share their monitoring platforms and collect data, in order to investigate the correlation between traffic flows and the concentration of pollutants (CO2, NO2, CO)  in urban environments.

For this purpose, an AIRQino monitoring station has already been installed at Magenta headquarters, where it is also managed the sensor CHEST/TrafficFlow.

The collaboration is at its very early stage and it has already achieved a positive result: the paper “An integrated low-cost road traffic and air pollution monitoring platform for next citizen observatories”, written by IBIMET’s researchers and Magenta’s engineers, has been accepted for presentation at the 3rd Conference on Sustainable Urban Mobility to be held in Volos, Greece, on 26-27 May 2016.
