Air Quality measurement with BigData

Draken Technology Transfer Association wrote: Our solution is a remote measurement device which can be installed on public transportation vehicles, and could make measurements in pm2. 5 and pm10 with an 5 seconds of maximum sampling rate. The data consits more environmental data such as the exact gps position of the measurement, temperature, humidity, etc. The large amount of data could be determined by time and geographical position, so the past and present data could be monitored, pollutant sources could be tracked. The large amount of data and the different data sources can lead to a correlation understanding between different parameters (dewpoint, temperature, etc. ). The prototype have a particulate matter sensor, a gps module and a gprs mobile radio... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Support for making knowledge about air pollution

Let us know more about air pollution of Nyíregyháza wrote: Our group has created a new plan and a possible process system to support independent, especially young high school and university students, researchers as well as civil persons who would like to do something for environmental protection (for example in the topic of air pollution). The support system would be in connection with the local companies and authrities. The local authorities are willing to make a possible fund for support local proposals. The applicants may get in touch the competent persons. This possible support system is consisted of the following subsequent steps: creating the idea. Submit the plan to the platform. Analyzing opportunities by the competent authorities (possible need of financial or equipment support)... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Make Nyíregyháza greener

Green Day wrote: As an answer that we concluded we should have a community centre, office which deals with local orders, management of parks, green zones and issues about the general public being uninformed and unbothered. The general person only rarely hears about these issues in the news or the radio, but most of the time continues to ignore the facts. This is one of the biggest problems– people are uninterested, especially the elderly, because they keep saying that they won't be around for long anyway and that it's not their problem anymore. But in fact, everything they do still adds up and continues to pollute the earth. We believe that there has to be a place, an initiative that informs and moves people, teaches them and makes them act... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Lawyer Up!

Sziporkák (Sparkles) wrote: Our solution is a regulatory package with three consecutive steps: a policy proposal for the national government to determine emission limits for residential heating devices (furnaces, heaters, etc. ) - currently, the legal environment focuses only on the possible pollution from enterprises. To lobby for a change like this, a thorough study is needed that would contain reliable information about the current situation in nyíregyháza, underlining the importance of the new regulation. Locally, the new regulation would give a basis for two things: sanctions, since there (hopefully) would be clear-cut emission limits; and... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

International agreements have been signed to eliminate the production and use of (hcfcs and hfcs) by 2040 forcing businesses to seek alternatives in which there isn’t a reliable efficient system available yet. . We invented a new cooling system and refrigerant based on vacuum cooling technology that is highly cost and energy efficient using zero gwp refrigerant. ...

Intelligent Traffic Control

IT-c wrote: We are it-c (intelligent traffic-control), a hungarian start-up aiming to change the behavior of traffic lights from the current time-based system to a new, live traffic-based solution. Our system receives live traffic data and changes the lights based on live traffic conditions without any restrictions for green-red cycle lengths. It is fully automated which means that only maintenance is required to keep the system working, and we link together the junctions, which creates a network of intersections in the city. It-c aims to accelerate the transition between today’s non-automated traffic and the future’s smart mobility by creating a stabile basis on which all the innovations in mobility can perfectly fit...

Through the process of vermicomposting (composting with earthworms), vermigo transforms your organic waste into nutrient rich vermicompost and tea. Unlike traditional vermicomposters, vermigo allows for herbs, small fruits, vegetables or decorative plants to be grown directly in the built-in vertical garden beds. Plant roots are able to receive organic nutrients from the fresh vermicompost, which guarantee their health and rapid growth. Vermigo is made from high quality stainless steel to ensure it's longevity. Vermigo's minimal design will beautifully complement your balcony, patio or kitchen and help you create your own oasis...

Carefree urban cycling

Viola wrote: I love cycling, just as much as you do. But ever since my beloved ride got stolen, i get this strong sense of fear every time i lock my bike in a public space, that this one will be stolen as well. No matter how expensive and sturdy the lock i use, it’s there. We figured out that the best way to secure a bike is not to invent another useless, heavy and bulky lock, but to create the fort knox of bike racks. And so we did it. We designed a smart rack that acts as a protective cage around your bike - a sort of safe haven. Once it's locked, your bike is immovable. No more heavy portable locks, no more dirty hands, only convenience and peace of mind... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
