Build your own sensor that measures air quality and learn more about Open Data!

Do you want to measure the air quality where you live? Are you curious about open data and how measurements made by citizens can contribute to increased insights on air quality?

On Friday, April 5, during the International Science Festival of Gothenburg, you have the opportunity to build your own sensor and at the same time take part of a number of exciting inspirational lectures on everything from air quality to data. You can then take the sensor with you and put up where you live.

Drop-in for sensor building throughout the day (10 am to 5 pm) and every full hour an inspirational lecture is held on open data, smart cities, various air quality projects and much more.

Where: Chalmersplatsen 1 (entrance to Chalmers conference)
When: Friday, April 5, 2019, 10:00-17:00

Agenda of the Day
10:00 Open data - so it works. Basic course in open data with Anders Frick.

11:00 LoV-IoT project. Ågot Watne introduces environmental monitoring using IoT.

12:00 Park smarter with real-time data. Students from the P-bolaget about their new environmental smart app.

13:00 SCORE - Smart Cities and Open data RE-use. Eva Kouraki and Kim Lantto present smart EU common solutions.

14:00 Open data - so it works. Continuing course in open data with Anders Frick.

15:00 VirtualCity@Chalmers. Anders Log presents a project about 3D visualization of open data.

16:00 SCORE - Smart Cities and Open data RE-use. Smart solution “IoT- Registry” is presented by Amsterdam city (online / webinar)

Hosts for the activity are the projects SCORE - Smart Cities and Open data RE-use (Interreg North Sea Region) and LoV-IoT - Air and water monitoring with IoT as well as the City of Gothenburg and Johanneberg Science Park.

This event will be held in Swedish except for the IoT-Registry presentation which will be held in English.

This sounds really good @evdoxia.kouraki any feedback would be very welcome!

Air quality is highly relevant to Bradford with the Council currently having to report to central Government on it’s proposals for improvements including the possibility of an extensive ‘clean air zone’.
We have, as part of SCORE, been approached by local healthcare providers regarding help to enable schools and communities to monitor air quality.

Eva, if the time is right, can you let me know what your ideas are on how we organize this online presentation (practical stuff like what online
tool etc.)?

Thanks!

Hej Jacco!

I was about to send you and Hugo an email about this.

According to our plan, you will have about 1 hour (16:00-17:00) to present Amsterdam’s role in SCORE project and in specific IoT-Registry solution online. The event will be open to the public therefore the audience will be general public and not technicians.

We thought that would be better if you could send us a recorded film or PPT which we can display in case the connection is not good. Of course we can connect online via Skype, Zoom or GoToMeeting or any other online tool that fits you best. Do you have any suggestions?

We would also like to keep some time (about 15 min) for questions and interaction with the audience after your presentation.

@klantto do you have any input on this?

@Jaccobrouwer in case you haven’t checked email sent to you Below some instructions about the IoT Registry presentation:

• We suggest that you record your presentation in advance. Don’t do it live.

• Limit your presentation to 15 minutes.

• Use any tool you feel familiar with. Use your own cellphone to record yourself, or use a screen recording software that you like. If you run Windows, you can just click Win+Alt+R to start recording your screen. Then you can do basic adjustments afterwards with the built-in "Photos" app, if needed. If you use Mac, then it is even more easy to arrange.

• Try to record your presentation as soon as possible, preferably until Monday morning.

• If you encounter any problem, we can probably help you to find a solution. Just let me know.

Good luck on presenting SCORE today @evdoxia.kouraki @klantto @Jaccobrouwer

Let us know how the event goes!

We had a fantastic day and alot of people came and went. The program we had we needed to modify on the fly since everyone did not come during the program timeslots so we had to wing it abit but it all when fantastic . In the end we hade buit all of the airquality “burkar” we had orderd about 50. Eva will have some pictures so we can have a short presentation on the web or live.
See you soon. / kim.

Maybe, if SCORE is looking at an air quality challenge, @evdoxia.kouraki can do a quick presentation at the Aarhus meeting?
It also relates to the project’s communication deliverables

Hi Syd!

Gothenburg city is working towards air quality challenge and would like to include this into SCORE as well. Gothenburg’s Environment Admministration is leading a project called LoV-IoT http://www.loviot.se/about-the-project/ . Knowledge from which we would like to share with other SCORE partners. Our idea was this could be connected to the “Environmental Multimedia Citizen Reporting System” solution working group led by Ghent. But of course it can be a challenge working group!

Best

Here is a short presentation of the LoV-IoT project presented during our event last Friday (unfortunately it is only in Swedish) LoVIoT presentation_Science Festival Gothenburg 2019.pdf (2.8 MB)

Hi @evdoxia.kouraki and @sydsimpson

On the “Environmental Multimedia Citizen Reporting System” topic it depends how well and concrete we can formulate a joint common solution at this moment with most of the partners that indicated a ‘co-developer’ role.

Scenario A: we get to an agreed formulation of a common general solution > we can continue as a solution working group.

Scenario B: we conclude that we need to structurally generate our ideas and use the D3.1 guidelines to make this initiative one of the six business cases as described in our proposal > don’t kickoff Open311 solution working group and merge this as a common challenge into the ‘Environment’ challenge working group to be launched at the Aarhus meeting.

Or if we have enough partners committed to both scenarios, we can also proceed with both scenarios.

Air quality, as a Challenge, has the potential for a range of Solutions whether as a Citizen Reporting tool, a method to raise public awareness (lots of potential for living labs) or perhaps linked to a traffic management tool.
I can see Bradford having a requirement for all these but also to supplement the high quality (and expensive) monitoring that is already in place.

I anticipate some good discussions in Aarhus

@sydsimpson some information below on how you can organise your workshop on 20th of June! I can translate the instructions in English if needed.

• Instructions on how to build a air quality sensor (in Swedish):
  Bygginstruktioner till den 5 april LoViotScore.docx (7.3 MB)

• Data collected by the sensors are visualized at https://luftdata.se/

• Sensors we ordered were from: https://r-pi.se/luftdata/luftdatas-luftkitt-med-partikelmatning
  and the type of air quality sensor was DHT22 / ELdosa

• We also asked the participants to sign a “contract” that they will register the sensors within 2 weeks and provide contact details/area/adress they will install the sensor. We also provided the option to return the sensor at the Environmetal City Deprtment in case something is not working or they don’t want to participate any more.

• We created a Facebook group where they can share their experiences, ask questions etc. www.facebook.com/groups/luftbubblan
