SMART.MAP: Smart Sensitive City. New Mapping for XXI century citizens

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

Information technologies offer innovative ways to deal with urban space. EXPO 2015, as occasion to promote the local and regional area values, requires an original idea of mapping able to record, analyze and represent dynamically the complexity and heterogeneity of the hosting territory. The project aims to produce innovative senseable images of the city enhancing […]

Data4cities : Smart big data for smart cities

2013, 9th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

The Smart City is stuck in the middle between visionary concepts and implementation problems whose origin often lies in organizational and management problems. Since Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are often a commodity, what hinders the development of the Smart City is a lack of business and governance models defining how ICT-based initiatives can create

MEP-WEAR: Data logging about cities

11th Cycle, 2015, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

The proposed solution is a wearable device ecosystem, called IOM (Internet of Mobility), consisting of: a wearable device, which exploits a set of different sensors to collect several environmental data; a multiplatform application delivered both on mobile and web platforms, for an intuitive and appealing visualization of the collected information. Around the wearable device, however,

MACLoC: Multi-­Axis Climbing Load Cells for performance analysis in sport climbing

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

Climbing is a complex task, involving strength, balance and coordination. The performance of a climber is experience based and more insights in the mechanics of climbing could be gained by measuring the contact forces of the climber, for the centre of mass calculation in real time. A multiaxial load cell was developed to measure the

SMITh: Smart Metering with Internet of Things

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

The ongoing transformation of energy systems towards a decentralized production model requires a new centrality and active involvement of energy consumers (or prosumers) in electricity markets. The consumption behaviors should be adapted to market conditions providing savings to the customers and benefits to the energy system as a whole. Customer empowerment requires the adoption of

DREAM 2: Drone tEchnology for wAter resources and hydrologic hazards Monitoring

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation

AFCam: A Contactless System for the Detection of Atrial Fibrillation using Camera Recordings

12th Cycle, 2016, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that affects about 2% of the population. The prevalence of AF increases with age, from 0.5% at 40–50 years, to 5–15% at 80 years. AF is associated with increased rates of death, stroke, heart failure and hospitalizations as well as degraded quality of life, reduced exercise capacity,

EMIMT: E-Government meets integration and mining techniques

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

People shop online, book hotels and flights online. This happens because the data needed to complete these tasks are easily accessible and a lot of websites allows users to query the Web to obtain enough information to be confident. This project aims to propose a framework tailored to extend the internet revolution to public administrations.

WISE-SOS: Wireless Security Solution for Scuba-diving

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Torino, Research Topics, University, Year

Diving is an activity in continuous development, firstly as an exciting and relaxing sport, secondly because of the increasing attention to the underwater environment requiring continuous and in-situ observation. In this contest, the underwater safety represents a vital requirement. Beside the regular maintenance of the equipment it would be expected that single divers have a

SMAPS: Smart products, places and services for smart cities

2012, 8th Cycle, ASP Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics, University, Year

The SMAPS project is based on the idea that the smart development of cities should be connected to the design of the interaction between their traditional physical structure and the new digital informational infrastructure. This interaction can be primarily built through the introduction of new “smart” service ideas and solutions for the emerging needs of
