The urban lab is an extraordinary feat for raising awareness on climate change or sustainable mobility. I myself was unpleasantly surprised that small children in the city centre breath air up to 7 degrees warmer than their parents, and that this is also related to the number of cars as 300,000 come...

We have created a virtual traffic fence (geofencing) around the center of Žilina, thanks to which we have unique traffic data. The city can use them, for example, for parking policy or investment in higher safety of pedestrian crossings.
David Bárta, CityOne
I designed the urban lab as a playground for anyone who wants to learn about the city, new technologies, and perhaps decide about his/her future career in the digital economy.
Lukáš Vecl, CITIQ
After eight years of development, we have connected our sensors into one whole, the climate and traffic city sensor network in the form of an urban lab, which produces open data in wider area for all related digital fields.
Zuzana Švédová, CDV
Sensor networks producing cheap and reliable data are an absolutely key source of data for transport planning and investment in sustainable mobility. We target traffic safety, parking policy, environmental impacts and carbon footprint. The data are the basis for drawing European subsidies in the...
Jaroslav Jaroš, UNITI
IoT technologies are beginning to evolve significantly around the world. We look for competitive technologies and examine possible overlaps or advantages. In the search, we have not yet found a competitive detector in the price / performance ratio to that used to measure traffic in Žilina.
