4D Urban Insights
Status date: 09 December 2020
4D Urban Insights creates maps of fast growing areas and makes urban dynamics visible and actionable. By applying Machine Learning, changes in horizontal and vertical spread can be detected automatically and early warnings can be shown to users.
CoDRIVE
Status date: 09 December 2020
Better travel experience for the public by providing reliable and efficient real-time situational awareness and traffic information for optimal decision making;
Providing car manufacturers with highly integrated low-cost geospatial information platform, which could be integrated with ADAS or CAVs;
Enabling smart network management for local authorities, promoting efficient traffic control, safer route planning, thereby reducing congestion and the carbon footprint.
NIVCS
Status date: 23 November 2020
NIVCS is a project that leverages Oceanbolt’s ability to process and analyze AIS signals, leveraging the latest big data processing analytics frameworks and the extensive Global Navigation Satellite Systems. The aim of the project is to help combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, while providing transparency into fishery emissions.
PV Forecast Service
Status date: 09 November 2020
The global deployment of solar PV electricity generation is hampered by the unpredictability of the power generated. Better PV forecasts would allow electricity system operators to schedule alternative electricity generation earlier, hence reducing system costs and carbon intensity. Addressing climate change as effectively as possible is at the core of Open Climate Fix’s mission.
STAY
Status date: 10 November 2020
STAY: is a mobile interactive experience that rewards young people for acting positively during COVID-19 or a similar public health crisis.
The platform incorporates live data feeds, Augmented Reality and geo-location into unique learning experiences that give young people the opportunity to earn pieces of digital merchandise in return for their efforts.
The SeaUrchin
Status date: 19 October 2020
The SeaUrchin is an affordable state-of-the-art wearable surf tracker, being developed by Kittiwake Labs Ltd in Cornwall, UK. The SeaUrchin tracker takes advantage of GNSS for tracking surfer sessions and applies novel data analysis for session characterisation and to monitor progress.
MONITORED AI
Status date: 10 September 2020
Climate change poses a number of challenges for farmers worldwide. OPT/NET B.V developed an AI-driven platform that generates timely and valuable insights about farmland conditions to individual farmers & large agri producers in predominantly cloud covered high latitude coastal areas facing challenging weather patterns. The solution is expected to lead to up-to-10% increase of respective yields and more than 10% reduction of the associated costs and wastage.
