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.

Sensative and Yggio

Sensative contributed sensors and Yggio as the platform holding the testbed together. An open testbed only works if participants can connect their own devices and read each other’s data without bespoke integration, which is precisely what an interoperable operational layer provides.

The project was funded through Vinnova’s call for testbeds for societal challenges and grew out of the earlier Smarta Offentliga Miljöer work in Lund.
