MOBIUS - reinventing smart mobility

By daniele in My Projects 0 Comment

 

Since November 2019, in my postdoc at CAROU of the Open University of the Netherlands, I have been working on a SafeCity project called MOBIUS - modelling smart and safe MOBIlity for Urban Sustainability.

With the help of Khaleel and Kevin, we are creating an app for remote tracking. By collecting smartphone sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS coordinates, the MOBIUS can accurately classify the means of transportation used by the citizens of a city. 

The MOBIUS app is an example of a smart-mobility application, which, by collecting crowdsourcing data, could provide more insights into how people move around an urban area. The app will hopefully be trialled in Heerlen in The Netherlands. 

NEXUS project - Virtual Assistant for Police officers

Since February 2020 I am working on NEXUS - Virtual Assistant for Police officers (Techruption).  The idea is to develop a speech-based virtual assistant which would help the police officers to have a more detailed briefing of the current situation in town. The NEXUS assistant could connect to the Police database and provide personalised recommendations to a single police officer. 
 
Project partners are  iLAB Politie Nederland, Open University of The Netherlands, BISS Maastricht University.
