International WSN-DPCM research project (Wireless Sensor Network Development, Planning, Commissioning and Maintenance toolset) aims at developing a full platform to address the main Wireless Sensor Network challenges for smart environments.
The project was launched in Madrid, Spain on the 13th and 14th of October at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ETSII-UPM).
The expected main outcome of this three-year project is a platform including an integrated toolset that will allow developers to design, implement and deploy applications for smart homes and for private and public area monitoring. Two demonstrator scenarios with high cross-domain applicability to address societal needs will be built to evaluate the impact of the platform:
• Outdoor Parking Demonstrator in Madrid: A WSN will detect free parking slots, guiding drivers to them.
• Environmental Quality Demonstrator in Torino: A WSN will measure the air quality as well as noise, light and electromagnetic levels on city streets.
WSN-DPCM is a cooperation project of several technical universities and companies from Spain, Italy, Lithuania and Greece. The project is funded by the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking (the European technology platform representing the field of advanced research and technology for embedded intelligence and systems), national authorities and European partner companies.
The project is coordinated by Métodos y Tecnología de Sistemas y Procesos S.L, a Spanish company. The total volume of the project is EUR 3.3 million.
