Background
Testing city-scale sensing is hard for a single company: it needs network coverage, permission to mount equipment in public space, a data platform, and access to the people who run the city’s operations. Each of those is a separate negotiation, and together they stop most ideas before they are tried.
Lund Open Sensoring City removed that barrier by making the city itself a shared testbed: an open environment where technologies that advance the real-time controlled society could be trialled under equal conditions.
